Chapter Eight

Tammy

Like most other responsible adults, I went to the doctor for checkups every once and awhile. Also, like many adults, I didn’t particularly enjoy these visits. I routinely had to remind myself that I didn’t need to enjoy something for it to be highly necessary and important, and I had my mother to thank for instilling that value into me throughout my life. Doctor’s visits and dentist’s appointments were not an option. Like learning to drive, paying the bills and eating, I needed to do them for my health and happiness.

Today, though, I didn’t mind the fact that appointments always ran behind schedule. I had promised a certain someone I would think about the strangest proposal I ever received, and this wait gave me the chance to do just that. So, I sat in my comfortable chair in the waiting room, idly watching the news headlines scroll across the bottom of the television playing quietly in the top-left corner of the room, honoring my promise.

The more I thought about it, the more I leaned toward accepting the offer. The party Nate had thrown had been a fantastic opportunity to market myself, but it wasn’t enough - I needed more connections and notoriety, and this was the perfect chance to get myself out there to the rich clientele I wanted once and for all. Once I made it into the right circles, I wouldn’t have to work hard to stay there.

That said, the risks still weighed on my mind. Not a terribly heavy weight, because as Nate had said, risk versus reward was always in the back of my mind, and this sounded like far more reward than risk. But there was something else, too - something I hadn’t been able to talk about with Nate.

This wasn’t just business. It was a little personal too, and that differed from most of the decisions I made in the past as a businesswoman. Usually, I had a purely success-oriented view on the choices that would affect my business, but in this case, I genuinely wanted to help Nate out. Yes, he got himself into this mess on his own, but I understood why, and I knew that he still regretted the end of his football career. If I agreed, I would be helping Nate secure his future.

The large wooden door to the examination rooms opened enough for a woman with a name tag to lean through and grab a clipboard next to the door. “Tammy Burke?”

I shoved my phone into the back pocket of my jeans, grabbed my purse from the table and headed toward the door as the woman held it wide open.

“How are you today, Tammy?” she asked half her attention on the clipboard.

As we exchanged mundane pleasantries, I followed where her extended finger was pointing and headed to the door marked Exam Room B.

I wasn’t here for much - just a flu shot and a general checkup. I only had one specific question to ask, and I did so after the general checkup was completed, and the nurse was preparing to give me the shot.
