Liam Last night I had a hard time falling asleep. Aaron went off with Annie, and I heard from a reliable source that even though the guy left Annie, Uncle David has always liked him better. Though, with me as the other option, I can't blame him. I'm at work a bit earlier than usual because I scheduled an earlier surgery, knowing it's going to be complicated. I don't know how long it'll take, so it's better not to risk it. I have to check on postoperative patients, and in the afternoon, I'm swamped with appointments at the medical center. The elevator stops on my office floor, and when it opens, I see someone leaning against the wall with his head down. I approach, and when he lifts his face, I realize it's Maria's partner. He seems devastated. "Good morning," I say, and he just nods. "
