Claire's POV:

"So at 4PM, right?" I made sure still to my brother who had called me and asked if we could meet after work at one cafe close to his house. "Yeah, at 4PM, is it okay time or should we move it later?" he asked. "No, it's fine, see you then. Bye" I mumbled and closed the phone. I finished my lunch still before I heated back to work.

Day had been enough busy already for me and I hoped already that some patients would have got sick or couldn't just come but for my bad luck list had got even longer than it was earlier today. Name after name, some familiar, some news.

But when the door opened I put a smile on my face and greeted my patient. "You must be Mr. Ericson. I'm Claire Preston, the second of the psychiatrists on this hospital.."

Third POV:

Last patient left Claire's room in 3:50PM and she finished the papers of hers before she moved to changing rooms and changed her clothes. She felt tired and thought how wonderful it was go to home.

How she could take a little nap and enjoy the free night with her boyfriend before she remembers the meeting with her brother.

Maybe it was a bad idea still to promise it but she couldn't anymore call him that she wouldn't come. Hopefully it wouldn't take long, she thought before she heated out of the hospital building over her car

She drove her car in front of the small cafe where they supposed to meet. Harry was already waiting for her on the door. "Hey and sorry. It took a bit" Claire mumbled before they walked inside that little building.

Harry ordered them a cup of coffee before they moved in the corner table. "How was the work?" he asked but Claire stopped him. "Let's not talk about that. Next topic" Her brother just chuckled before he took a sip of his coffee.

"Well.. you tell then. You know that I'm really bad at guessing what there's running in your head, sis" he said. "I know that but well, my day was pretty busy so now I would just relax and enjoy the time with my favorite brother" Claire smiled. "I'm your only brother" he mumbled and rolled his eyes which made them both laugh.

Claire's POV

"How's Sarah? Has there been any signs yet?" I decided ask and Harry shook his head. "Not yet, we have still a few months left before the time will come" he told and I could tell that he was feeling proud of his "achievement"

"I like the way you call it 'we' not 'her" I giggled before I finished my coffee which I regretted later. "Yeah, it's our common journey... You'll understand it one day" he chuckled and made my stomach full of butterflies.

"Yeah.. maybe" I mumbled and looked the clock when I remember that I hadn't remember tell Robert anything about our meeting with Harry.

"Harry, I think that I got to go now. I feel a bit tired actually already. It was nice to talk with you though" I smiled and hugged him tightly. "You call me then right away when you two go in the hospital. I don't want miss any seconds of it" I told him and he nodded back. "Sure.. Of course"

After saying good byes, I rushed to my car and drove quickly back home. When I parked my car in front of our house, I met my boyfriend in front of the front door.

"Where have you been, honey? I was so worried" he hugged me. I couldn't hug him back because my hand was against him. "What's wrong? Has something happened?" he looked me worried and caressed my cheek.

I turned my head and shook my head. "No, it went just late at work" I mumbled. Lie. "It was a busy day" I continued which was true but then his quickly comment stopped my explains and made my eyes widen.

"I called to your work place and they said that you had left hours ago" he mumbled quietly. "Oh well they might not.." I tried tell him something but he stopped me. "Stop, I don't want hear your lies. Not right now, not today. I'm tired of them" he sighed and walked inside. I followed him.

"Robert, I.." I started but he turned his back to me. "Do you think seriously that I can't smell that cologne from your jacket?" he asked. "Did you think that you could just sneak in and tell lies to me and that I would take them in like a stupid?" His questions burned me inside and I didn't know could I stop that anymore.

"Do you think that I wouldn't see it in your eyes that you was meeting some other man more likely than coming home to your own boyfriend who has been waiting for you, so you could spend a romantic evening after a long time?"

I didn't say anything I couldn't. It felt like my whole inside has just burned down and there was nothing left. I couldn't anymore tell the truth to him because it was too late. "Seemly you're not going to complain. Well, let's go eat then. I made tortillas. I hope you like them" he said quietly before we moved to the table.
