Dr. Richardson

Dr. Eric Richardson came into the room..

His thick red beard is the first thing you notice,

it is not the look most associated with young doctors.

He and Jesse hunt quail in the fall with the his German Short-haired Pointers.

Jesse shook his hand.

"She has a mild concussion and will need to rest for a few days."

"How serious is a  mild concussion, I mean, she was out cold for a few minutes..?

"It's different for everyone, Anne is tough, she will be fine."

Dr. Richardson has known Anne and her family since they were kids.

They dated in High School.

"What happened?"

"Hasting's Angus bull busted through my fence this morning looking for a date."

"We were trying to get him loaded onto the trailer,

next thing you know, bam!!"

Eric gave him some anti-inflammatory pills for Anne to take for the swelling.

"I want to watch her for another 45 minutes or so before I let her go."

He took Jesse back to the examination room and Anne smiled when he walked in.

"Hey Shuug, how you feeling?"

Eric left the room saying he would be back shortly.
Jesse sat down on the bed next to Anne. She put her hand on his chest.

"You think you better get back to the house and make sure that bull's not sitting on the front porch swing."

Jesse laughed and stroked her arm..

"I will be back in about an hour to get you. Eric said he wants to make sure you're ok."

He leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.

On his way out he stuck his head in Eric's office and told him to call his cell when she was ready.

The sun was about an hour from setting as he pulled out of the parking lot.

It was snowing again.
