Cade was not a well-traveled doctor. Maybe he should do doctors without borders. The whole idea of living in poverty didn't appeal to him, it was bad enough things had fallen in the US even in the short span of his life time. He was just grateful he could afford to move away. Not that being a doctor wasn't going to eventually pay the bills, but he was still up to dept to his eyeballs.
Ness's question lingered in the air as all eyes turned to the girl hugging Elyse. A pang of guilt and regret lanced through his heart and he sighed hiding it behind a large swig of his coffee. It was too hot and he instantly regretted the action.
Anna answered Ness question after the child interruption. His son would never be that age.
It seemed that Cade was sitting with three lovely women who all had a bit of some exotic dancing in their backgrounds. That should have perked any grown mans interests but he was not feeling like much at the moment. There were many reminders of the life he'd left. Of the life he'd never have now. Maybe he'd find something of use when talking to his brother, but maybe he should just go home where he had the support system to keep him on the straight and narrow. A stiffer drink sounded far better right now than the coffee, even though it had warmed him nicely.
Cade tried to remain interested in his companions. Focusing intently and listening like he did to his patients, even if he didn't openly participate.
