Doc smiled with approval as the fire light gave it's glow. He again turned the food over on the grill and took a deep breath before drinking from his glass. He then turned his attention to her.
"We doctors get a bad rep because of shots, large pills and scalpels," he joked as he pulled out the hair brush, "but a good doctor sees someone having a problem and can fix even simpler things."
