Dirty Doctor

Running a private practice in Manhattan is a grind for the narrator, who is stuck with an unreliable staff that keeps dumping extra shifts on them. Over the last half year, they have handled far too many routine women's health checks and assisted on reconstructive surgeries, work they no longer want because they trained to be a therapist.

Relief comes when the team finally hires a more capable colleague. That colleague turns out to be the woman the narrator was supposed to have dinner with a few weeks earlier, the one who cancelled with a brief message after they had agreed to take their online flirtation offline.

The narrator has not forgotten the explicit fantasies she shared and still keeps their messages. They have no intention of acting polite and professional as if none of it ever happened.
