"Mi casa es su casa," Doc replied. "Take a look around. It's a bit on the side of nostalgic around here as I've done virtually nothing to change anything. It's pretty much still the way Midori and I set it up years ago. Do feel free to visit the guest houses if you like," he added, "they're quite nice and warm. Hopefully the snow didn't make the short walk to them too long."
With a smile, Doc headed for his room to get ready for the day.
He was content. Not overly happy but content as he went about getting ready. Shaving to clean up his small beard and full mustache before showering. It was getting his long hair prepared that took time as he let it grow down. He was the CEO of his Enterprise and had no one to answer to!
He daydreamed a bit, taking breaks to stare off while he showered...or fixed his hair....or got clothing ready. It was nice having a female presence in the estate again. It was calming in a way even if she was a patient trying to conquer demons. Doc himself knew all to well about conquering demons as he had a few of his own. She was an attractive woman and to this point had kept those thoughts to himself.
When he was in his room going through his wardrobe, he stopped and picked up the picture of him and Midori on their wedding day. He managed a soft smile.
"I miss you, Dahlin' and still love you," he said softly. "I'll forever regret that day I let you go."
Then he paused before adding, "She is lovely, isn't she?" The smile on his face, at least to him, was one of her approval.
With that, Doc got into a pair of slacks, long sleeved shirt and a heavy black coat to deal with the cold. He would go into the kitchen with a large medical bag, looking for Elena, seeing if she was ready.
