“You’re not working today?” Nathan asked.

“No. I took the day off to spend some time with my son.”

“You are the epitome of a perfect father.” I smiled, for I knew that would offend Conner.

“Excuse me, douchebag?” Both Conner and Nathan said at the same time.

I let out a chuckle as I held Noah up in the air. “Look at how big you’re getting. As much as I would love to stay and shoot the shit with you guys, I have patients to see.” I glanced at my watch and handed Noah over to Sebastian. “Nathan, I do believe you’re over your ten-minute lunch.” I smirked.

“Fuck it. I’ll just be behind all day. I’m enjoying this food too much.”

Sebastian shot him a look. “The chicken is dry, and the pasta is overcooked.”

“You’re right. Your cooking is way better than this.” Nathan shoved his fork in his mouth.

I laughed as I patted Sebastian’s back. “You know nobody cooks better than you. Well, except maybe Ophelia.”

“I’m not going to argue with that.” Sebastian smiled.

I reached into the refrigerator to grab another bottle of water before heading up to my practice.

“Excuse me, Dr. Kind?”

“Which one, Stan?” Conner asked.

“Sorry. Dr. Gabriel Kind.”

When I grabbed a bottle of water and turned around, I saw Stan, the security guard, holding onto a young girl who appeared to be fourteen or fifteen years old.

“I caught this young lady lurking around the lobby by herself.”

“I wasn’t lurking, you idiot.”

“Watch your mouth, kid. I asked her what she was doing, and she said she was looking for you. Your receptionist said you were down here.”

“For me?” My brows furrowed.

“So, you’re Dr. Gabriel Kind?” She cocked her head.

“I am. And who might you be?”

“I’m Riley, your daughter.”

The bottle of water fell out of my hand and onto the floor as I stood there and stared at her.
