Chapter 133: You're Clear to Go.

The grey haired doctor pulls down the leg of my jeans and lowers my foot patting my ankle twice. "Everything looks great Ms. Melrose. You're clear to go."

"Thanks." I jump off the little office bed glad to be cleared so Ryland can stop lecturing me every time he feels I put too much weight on my foot. I've been fine the past week, but he refused to let me use the stairs. It's four flights or a short elevator ride. I didn't put up too much of a fight.

"Good luck." He shakes my hand and turns to Ryland. "And to you too, Mr. Bates. I hope you find a new team quickly."

Ryland pulls on the brim of the same black Giants baseball cap he wore to the movies yesterday, but shakes his hand. "Thanks, I'm hopeful for the same." He flashes him a smile I've never seen him use. It's practiced and forced.

"Well of course, now I understand why you're in no rush to get back on a team after meeting this lovely lady." He scribbles on a small sheet of paper handing it to me. "For your check out."
