Ice

The dental receptionist had asked her to take a seat.

She sat, looking around the waiting room. Two others; presumably going in before her. She was glad of a few quiet moments; the morning had been busy so far. She was tired, it hadn’t been a good night. The neighbourhood dog had gone on yapping into the early hours. She sighed and picked up a magazine. Letting it fall open anywhere, she was confronted with a colourful spread about a charity-driven prize on offer. It was an all-expenses-paid-for cruise around islands she’d never heard of somewhere in the Caribbean. She’d often dreamt of going on a cruise. Maybe she would buy a ticket… in an instant, she was gazing down at the white, bubbling water trailing past the side of the liner. It was a beautiful sight. The white of it against the blue. It was hot. A waiter was asking for her drinks order, and she was saying a Margarita with ice would be good, thanks.

Feeling a hand on her shoulder, she mumbled, “Plenty of ice, thanks.”

The receptionist’s grip tightened.

She looked up.

“He’ll see you now. Go on through.”
