The pediatric cardiology clinic was a little more chatty lately, not that the nurses hadn't been in the first place. There was always something they were looking to talk about between rounds, and their latest bit of gossip perked up as Maranya made a pass by their station

"Oh hey, did you hear what Dr. Snorlax told me?" "No, what was that?" "He beat Ms. Valkonan last night?" "Beat?" "Oh yes, a fists duel. As he put it to me, he 'squishified' her."

That got more than a chuckle out of the RNs and LPNs gathered around, seemingly unaware of Maranya's presence.

The Chief of Staff at Riverview Clinic paused in mid-step, and smoothly pivoted on her heels to confront the group of nurses.

"Da, that is correct, ladies. Doctor Lax did indeed defeat me in a dance of fists last night."

She held up the index finger on her emerald and platinum ringed hand. "But, but! It took him eleven rounds to do so, and there was only one point in difference between our scores. Six to five, for the record."

Maranya's voice floated over her forest green wool jacketed shoulder as she turned away from the women. "Keep that in mind when you listen to the bragging."

Her black alligator leather pumps were soundless on the tan carpeted floor as she confidently strode back down the hall that led away from the Pediatric Cardiology ward.

We will dance again, Snorlax. Count on it.
