Prologue
Dr. Madison Summers walked into the dimly lit office and set her coffee on her desk. Yawning, she stepped over to the window and pulled open the shades. A pool of light flooded into the room, making the gray carpet suddenly brighten. Dr. Summers unbuttoned her wool coat and hung it on the black leather chair in front of her desk. As the young doctor sat down in the chair, she picked up her coffee mug. She carefully took a sip of it; a bit of cream and two sugars, just the way she liked it. Madison grabbed the mail from her mailbox and scanned over it. Nothing new…bills…credit card offers… “Have you seen us,” missing ads. Madison put the mail back and leaned back in her chair. The lock on the front door rattled and the door pushed open.
A short, plump woman with medium brown hair bustled inside and hung her jacket on one of the pegs by the door.
“Good morning Laura,” Madison called from the office waving her hand above her head.
“Oh hi honey, I didn’t think you’d be here so early,” Laura said coming down the hall to Madison’s office.
“Well, you know me…always full of surprises,” Madison said sacastically ith a smile.
“Yeah, yeah,” Laura said nodding.
Laura had been working for Madison a little over a year and the two of them were very close friends. She’d been married for 9 years now and her daughter was turning 5 in a few weeks. She and her husband had been struggling to have a baby, but she was the kind of person who always saw the positive side of things, and coming from a southern background, she had strong Christian beliefs. Every night she prayed that she’d someday be blessed with another child.
The phone at the front desk rang and Laura excused herself to go answer it.
Madison went to the closet, took out her white coat and pulled it on. She brushed back her long dark hair and smoothed it into a ponytail. She had dark, dark brown hair that almost looked black, and her soft green eyes were one of a kind. Her skin was a light shade of bronze and soft to the touch. She was a regular beauty queen with a smart head, a clever attitude and quick wit; traits she’d learned from her father.
She sat back down at her desk and opened her top desk drawer. She picked up a photo album and flipped through the pictures of her and her family and stopped when she reached the pictures of her at Lake Winapo summer camp. A young girl leaned up against a boat and a boy sat next to her. They were holding hands and smiling. The picture was of her and her camp friend Andrew. She smiled at this picture and looked at a few more of them.
Madison put the book away and sat back in her chair. She’d been having a lot of thoughts about Andrew lately, but she hadn’t heard from him in ten years. She wasn’t ever able to find him and after 2 years of searching, she finally gave up. She should’ve given up as soon as she met her boyfriend Devon; he was perfect at first but now things were a little rocky, and a little not so perfect, perhaps the reason she’d started to come to work earlier.
The morning flew by with only 3 patients. One had come down with the flu, and another had strep throat. The third was a newborn baby in for shots and as his mother carried him into room one, Madison glanced at Laura who was smiling with twinkling eyes at the baby.
A ring from the bell on the door signaled someone’s entrance.
“Hi. I’m here for the 11:30 appointment,” a man said as he walked up to the front desk.
“Alright hun, let me just look here…ok, Spurkitz, and you’ve brought Lily right?” Laura said to the man.
“Yes, this is my little Lily,” the man answered.
“How ya doin’ sugar?” Laura said, peering over the desk to look at the tiny child. Lily tucked herself further behind her father’s legs, holding onto him tightly.
“She’s a little shy,” the man whispered, running a nervous hand through his hair. He kept glancing towards the hallway, leading to Madison’s office.
“Oh that’s quite all right. You may have a seat now,” Laura said warmly.
The man went to sit in the waiting area and his daughter shuffled behind him, shooting nervous glances back at Laura.
Laura smiled and went back to Madison’s office. She knocked on the door.
“Dr., You’ve got a Lily Spurkitz here for you. There’s a mighty fine man sitting with her,” Laura said with a grin.
Madison’s heart leapt when she heard Lily’s last name, and she swallowed her coffee so fast she burned her throat. She relaxed a little by reminding herself that it could very well just be a coincidence.
“Room one please,” Madison said as she recovered.
Laura nodded and went back to the front of the building.
“Sir, I’ll need to see your insurance card,” Laura said as she sat at the desk again.
“Oh, right,” he said, getting up.
The man walked over to the counter and gave Laura his card. She took the card and his ID, glancing at the ring on his left hand and watched him as he signed the medical form she’d given him:

Andrew Spurkitz
Madison Walked to the first room, telling herself it was all in her head. She knocked on the door, waited, and slowly opened it. As she turned and closed the door behind her, Andrew looked up at her, smiling.
“Hi Maddie,” he said.
She smiled back nervously and the memories of her childhood summer camp came rushing back to her.
