Barclay was right. The family doctor did show up quickly. Just as Rose finished cooking pasta, before Moira could even sit down to eat, the doctor was already at the door.
Hearing the doorbell, Rose dashed to answer it, afraid Moira might make a move. "Mrs. Covington, I'll get it, you stay put," she said, shutting off the stove before heading out.
Moira hadn't planned on budging anyway.
Soon enough, Rose ushered the doctor in.
"Mrs. Covington, hi there, I'm Jacob Harrison," the man greeted Moira.
"Hi."
"Mr. Covington told me you banged up your left knee. Mind showing me the wound?"
Moira grimaced and hiked up her pant leg again.
The knee, which had been a nasty shade of bruise just moments ago, now looked even worse, darker and scarier.
Jacob slipped on gloves. "Mrs. Covington, mind straightening out your leg for me?"
Moira did as she was told.
After a thorough examination, he confirmed it wasn't a bone injury, just a soft tissue bruise. Hurt like hell, sure, but a bit of bruise spray would ease the pain in a day or two.
Jacob grabbed some spray, no pills or anything.
Moira was experiencing house call service for the first time, and she had to admit that Juliet was right!
Money sure did buy convenience!
Barclay's sudden return from his business trip to spend Valentine's Day with Moira quickly became the talk of the circle of friends.
Some were delighted, others green with envy.
Naturally, word of this reached Alfie. Despite his previous reluctance to propose to Thalia, upon seeing the Instagram screenshot Albert sent him of Moira, he contacted Thalia the very next day and agreed to the engagement.
The Guzman family and the Weaver family wasted no time arranging a meeting, and news of Alfie and Thalia's engagement spread like wildfire.
Juliet brought up the matter to Moira. [You bet Thalia's gonna invite you to the engagement party!]
