No Hurry

The older couple sitting behind me in the waiting room got here after I did, but the office assistant just came back to tell them that the technicians were ready for them.

"You're going in," the man says to the woman as he pats her gently on the shoulder.

I saunter up to the front desk ("sauntering" because I'm in no hurry to go in there and get my thigh nuked) and ask the assistant, "So, they're running a little late?"

"So sorry, Mr. Williams, they're just finishing up now," he replies with an apologetic smile.
