Laurie has decided to go to the dentist.
The dentist is one of her least favorite places in this lifetime.
The noises the machine makes, and the way the doctor pokes and prods into her mouth scare the crap out of her. But she is going to the dentist now because she has to.
She is sat on the train, all made up and mentally ready for her appointment when her phone rings. “Hi, Laurie! This is Dr. Labrador. We are sorry for the late notice, but our clinic dog has an emergency appointment with the vet and I have to take him. We’ll reschedule your visit soon. We hope you understand,” the message reads.
Laurie’s jaw falls open and she whoops out of happiness so loud that other passengers look at her befuddled. She is grinning ear to ear as she goes out at the next stop to get her favorite ice cream.
END.
