A New Life for the Broken Bird

[Doc Holliday]

Doc was finished. He then relinquished the piano to a young lady who began playing some relaxing dinner time music. She was introduced as Abigail. A percussionist played on a trap set near her as did a cellist. Doc took a seat across from Isa and ordered a drink. A bit hungry, he ordered a light meal instructing the waiter that Isa was on his tab.

"Isa, you are in the right place for good friends," he told her. "I see you have befriended Kelly already." He gave a light smile to Kelly and picked up her tab as well.
"You are among the best in the medical universe here but somehow, I think you knew that already."

For a time, small talk was made. A few chuckles and laughs as well. It was seldom that John Holliday was this relaxed. Some how he knew she was but was enjoying the chance to "meet someone new." When their food arrived, they enjoyed some dine time and the chuckles continued. Yes, he was enjoying her company.
Abigail and company continued to play.
"I keep an upright in my quarters on station and a Baby Grand in my quarters here on ship so I am never without a piano," he explained. "Sometimes, it is just nice to listen to others play as well."
He gave a look to Abigail who smiled back to him. "She is a cardiac nurse but so talented in many ways," he said of her. "I met her on the Port Jackson refugee camp on Gran Canaria years ago when she was a child. It has been fun to watch her grow up."

Finally, he built some courage as some couples softly danced to the music. He extended his hand to her, "Isa, may I have this dance with you?"
