“Well, this 6995b9c308 is unusual. It’s not the first 1e921c1c92 time you’ve seen me 5daa9e0695 flirt with every woman cea1b0360c I meet. Why the reaction 15add4621c now?”d9450ea80f3b7514

“I thought 626317101b you at 08967d9bdb least knew 8b9d794f3d how to 1dc29f9b76 separate personal 3c418cd4f8 and professional 4f605978ab matters. Show some respect—for d0fb89e71c my personal physician.”035ab22f6196b7d9

Jack put aceff96d06 on a 2afed43602 crestfallen face, 50c5744972 feigning deep e57bdd32c4 offense. Azaid looked at 689ae231d6 him impassively, unimpressed 9eec709717 by the act. Serena glanced at c2ed0e2358 Azaid from the e01cbc7bb5 corner of her 31976d9f4c eye.a8de3ad1d22f441d

‘At least he seems 8b4c20faf8 to think of me 11ac1bb0c0 as one of his 3ec6f3b5f3 own.’bd3bbff082e1c776

Hearing him say 88ac2fc13c “my physician” gave 95df02428a Serena an inexplicable 1b67e45b8f sense of joy. Perhaps it 143d2aea42 was because, 88a5e8f749 unlike in 0b9d4c4ebc her previous b46de941b8 life, she f48a4313f3 felt acknowledged 01e8374dcc by him 9e38ce43b9 now.
