Meeting with Attorney Fitzgerald

We walk up to the building where my appointment is. “I can wait for you out here,” Daniel says. I tell him that this is the part where we say goodbye. I have an appointment, and he has an interview later. He answers with a “I should go.” Not sure why, but inside I felt surprised that he was leaving, and maybe even disappointed. Why am I thinking about a romance with a boy I just met? I think about him through security, in the elevator, and down the long hallway, until I enter the office. As I approach the Secretary, she gives a sad, but small smile. “I have some bad news” she says. My stomach turns and suddenly I get really nervous. She said that the Attorney I’m suppose to see got in a car accident this morning from a BMW. I fill out all of the paperwork, and the office phone gets a ring. She answers it quickly, and has concern in her voice, when she says “Oh my God. Jeremy. Are you all right?” She is obviously so in love with him, and I wondered if they could be having an affair? If I correctly heard their conversation on the phone, he has a wife. She ends the call, and lets me know he’s all right. She said she had good news for me, and explains how she’s seen many cases like mine, and that she thinks I’ll be okay. I leave the office, and thank her for the help. I think of Daniel. How I should of been nicer, or even gotten his phone number.
