Eric was surprised to find the dentist’s office was empty when he arrived the next day. Usually this place would be filled with angry and anxious students but now the waiting room was empty, the magazines lay neatly in a stack on the table and there was no receptionist. Eric wa about to leave, figuring he got the time wrong or the office wrong when an Asian woman popped her head out from behind the reception desk area. “Oh hello, you here for check-up?”
“Oh, um, yes I am.”
She nodded, “Yes you can come right back, the doctor is out today, no patients, but the assistant will help you.”
