"It's about to start," Ava said the moment Kimimela opened the door.

"I'm tired," Kim complained, plopping onto the couch beside Ava.

"So what?"

"What?"

"Are you still going to Abu Dhabi?"

"I don't know."

"You have to make up your mind, you have just two days to leave." Ava reminded her.

"I don't even know his culture or lifestyle. I don't even know the language or anything about that place!" Kim explained.

"That's why he's inviting you over, he wants to make you a part of his life,"

"You think so?"

"Yes, plus, it's a fun place. Who wouldn't want to be in Abu Dhabi?"

"I should?" she raised her eyebrows at Ava.

"Yeah, I think you should," she turned on the TV. "After that take him to Mexico."

"Ah, my mom."

"Your grandma would be more than happy,"

"She'd die happy. It's not like we are getting married," She rolled her eyes.

"Shush!" Ava said as the movie started.

"Where's my popcorn?"

"Here, I didn't make a lot," She smiles at her.

"I have to ask for a leave."
"
"Yeah, you should. I'm not sure if it'll be granted. Maybe Miran can make a humble donation and take you off Dr. Willy's hands for a few days."

"There's no way I'm asking him to do that."

"It's okay."

"How are you doing?"

"I'm fine,"

"Can we talk over lunch?"

"Yeah, sure when I get back from New York."

"What? you're in New York now?"

"Yeah, the party was in New York."

"Okay, could work" she breathes, hanging up, Kim walked into the hospital, she goes to the desk.

"Good morning," she greets.

"Kim, Good morning," Lisa-a nurse- says.

"Can I apply for leave?" she said.

"What?"

"Is it not possible?"

"Good morning, Miss Cortes." She heard Dr. William's voice, Kim turned to him.

"Good morning, sir," she smiled.

"Follow me to my office."

"Yes sir" She picked her bag and follows. She gently closes the door behind them.

"You wanna apply for a leave?"

"Yeah, but for this weekend and a few days."

He nodded, "Are you free later?"

"What?" she asked

"Yeah, I wouldn't mind if you have coffee with me"

"Coffee?" she asked.
