The television was off and Dad was not on the couch. When we made it to the ground floor, Dad was coming out of the kitchen with his pager in hand. "Sorry, Bug, but I have to go. Apparently there’s an emergency at the practice and I’m needed." He picked up his keys that were on the hook by the door. He gave my cheek a kiss. "It was nice meeting you Daphne!" He opened the door and right as he walked through and closed it he added, "oh, your results came in. They are on the kitchen table!"
