"Hmm?" Quincy blinked while a hint of confusion crossed his face, "I'm not a pediatrician, so I don't have much to do with kids. And with my busy schedule, there's hardly any time for parties or social events. But you know, I do have a soft spot for well-behaved kids."
She flopped down on the other end of the park bench, eyeing Dorothy curiously, "So why the sudden interest in my thoughts on children?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I just think someone with your patience would be great with the little ones."
"As a doctor, you've gotta have patience, right? If a patient is feeling ill or hurt, they're naturally in a bad mood. If I were to add to that by being grumpy or short-tempered, it could mess with their healing vibes!"
It was clear to Dorothy that Quincy truly loved her job as a doctor.
She wasn't just going through the motions for a paycheck.
Thinking it over, with her social standing and family background, if she didn't have a genuine
passion for medicine, she could have picked a much easier path. Choosing the grueling life of a
doctor must be out of love for the profession.
Quincy's life was surely different from her own. She had to deal with life's compromises, unable to follow her heart's desires.
"So, Dr. Quincy, have you never fallen for someone? I mean, romantically?"
Dorothy felt a bit presumptuous asking such a personal question, given they weren't exactly close. She hesitated before speaking, but her curiosity won out in the end.
Quincy pondered for a moment before replying, "I guess there's been one or two, but it never went anywhere. Plus, I wasn't much of a believer in love before."
"And what's your type?" prodded Dorothy.
Quincy's face twisted with complexity, and then she turned to Dorothy, saying, "Someone like Mr. Lopez, I suppose."
Quincy had no romantic interest in Everett. He was merely a standard of the ideal man for her.
If she hadn't overheard the conversation between Jonathan and Quincy that day, she wouldn't have asked these questions. But now that she had, she couldn't help but wonder...
What if, after she left, the Lopez family tried to set Quincy up with Everett?
Jonathan already seemed keen on the idea, and Quincy met all of Amanda's criteria. When it came to social standing and family connections, everything was a perfect fit.
"Ah! You didn't have a spat with Mr. Lopez and come here to cool off, did you?" Quincy finally caught on.
Dorothy shook her head, "No, we're not fighting."
There were so few days left; how could she bear to spend any of them in conflict?
