*Entering Nat's clinic, and hearing she is busy with patients, making my way back to her office, and opening the door. Dropping the pile of gift bags on the top of her desk, and hastily scribbling a note explaining why they're 3 days late...*
Natalia,
I hope you will forgive my tardiness. We went to Florda for Thanksgiving, and just got home about an hour ago. You were the first stop on the way home from the airport. Please call me so we can go to lunch soon, and I can catch you up on all of the happenings. Also, make plans to come to dinner with JJ and me.
I hope you had the happiest of birthdays.
Amore,
Isabella
