In The Eyes of the Beholder

Dor, Carlotta and Aliya stood in front of the two with a smile on their faces.

"Well, team. I would say that today's treatment was a success." Aliya said, hands behind her as the two stood in attention. She walked back and forth in front of them as she spoke. Carlotta serious as ever but Dor is really struggling to keep a straight face.

"I am glad for that, doctor," Carlotta said with pride in her eyes. "You were excellent today."

"Thank you," Aliya said, stopping and then turning to them. "But I couldn't have done it without you all."

Kaia and Shia looked at each other, a smile coming on their faces.

Shia stood up and walked to Aliya, putting her hands on her shoulders, "I owe my lie to you, doctor. In order to show my gratitude, can I make hot chocolate for you and your staff?"

"Of course," Aliya said, trying to regain her composure and not drool the instant Shia mentioned her hot chocolate. "The one with the peppermints?"
