At the greeting Maria looked up and gave Kyle a bright smile, "Hey Doctor, how are ya?" While she and Kyle hadn't been best friends by any means during high school they had gotten along well enough. It had been nice getting to know him more after college and it was pretty impressive to see him go from cop to doctor.
She kicked a chair with her foot to push it out a bit so that Kyle could grab it and sit down, "Waiting on Alex."
And speak of the devil suddenly a car pulled up and Maria recognized Alex in the driver's seat. She waved back to him and then furrowed her brow as he went around to the back to open a door. And suddenly an adorable dog came out and Maria let out a squeal of delight, barely keep it together to stay seated until he came over with the dog.
