Burn
“We’re sitting on the balcony of the El Presidente suite of the luxury hotel back in Havana looking over the bay. Apparently, even doing humanitarian outreach comes with a little luxury when you’ve got Logan Dempsey-type money. The place is honestly a palace, occupying the entire top floor of the hotel and with full balcony terraces overlooking all of Havana Bay. Honestly, if we hadn’t spent the entire day giving immunization shots to kids at a hospital he built, I’d have put my foot down at fir...st sight of this place. “Yeah, Doc,” He grins at me and raises the glass of rum on ice in his hand to me; “You did OK.”
I fake pout at him; “Just OK, huh?”
I yelp as his other hand jerks out to grab my wrist and he pulls me giggling into his lap; “Ok darlin, you did amazing work back there, but quit pretending you don’t know that.”
I’m feeling wild, free, and more alive than I have since maybe even medical school, and for once, I push all those “what-ifs” and “maybes”MoreLess
