情人节的意外 金华十校续写 《 》 1 I looked around at the other patients waiting to see the doctor. Maybe they all had more romantic plans for the evening on this Valentine's Day but for now the group seemed anti-social. Three people had their heads down, staring at cell phones. Another was absorbed in a magazine. The receptionist tapped at her computer. Everyone was in their own little world. But I couldn’t judge them for it. I would probably be buried in my cell phone too-if I hadn’t forgotten to charge it before I left home. It would have been nice to strike up a conversation to pass the time on this day, a day of love and friendship. Instead , I sat patiently in my plastic chair as a couple of new people took distant seats. “Roberta? The doctor’s ready for you ,“ the nurse called. At least I'll have some kind of human connection, I thought. My checkup went well, and I breezed out of the office to my little Honda in a space right out front. I got in and turned the key. Nothing. Oh, no. Not again. I'd sent the car to the garage several times already for this very problem and thought it had finally been fixed. I reached for my cell phone to call AAA - then remembered.

I went straight to the reception desk, but the receptionist was not there. So I turned back to the people in the waiting room. “I wouldn't normally do this ,” I said to the group, hoping that I sounded apologetic. Several people turned toward me to listen . “But my car won't start…" The nurse popped her head into the room. “You in trouble, Roberta?" she said. “I’ll go and take a look .” I followed the nurse outside. As I passed through the door, I felt someone was behind me. Para 1:I turned to see all the other patients following me.
