Even though Isabella spoke, Lou's attention remained firmly fixed on the doctor. "Why, thank you, doctor. Do not take this the wrong way but, in that case, I do hope I don't see you soon," she said, her eyes full of humor. She ignored the nurse for as long as she could get away with as she nodded her farewell to Milbury, then followed Isabella idly, like it just so happened that she meant to go that way anyway. The moment her back was to the doctor, her face took on an air of smug superiority. This was excellent. She should be done with plenty of time to go out, have a nice brunch, and have the rest of the day to herself.
