Guinea pigs…

She deserved this lunch break so much. It had been a busy morning with patients flooding the practice, a moody assistant and a printer that just quit working. Jennifer needed this break and she wanted to be left alone in her office for an hour, alone with her coffee and her Game of Thrones book.
