I do feel close to you as well," Betty said. "I'm glad. Because I am going to tell you something now that for a man in my position could be very risky.... But I trust you implicitly," he said. "What is it Robert?" she asked, now really curious and a little scared. "Betty, when we go on this trip, I would like us to stay in the same hotel room," he said. "The same hotel room? I don't understand." "Oh, I think you do, Betty. I think you understand just fine," he said, pulling her closer to him. "Oh. I made my way up to the surgery and for some reason I looked at my watch, it was 12:10pm, dinner time. That would explain the dentists I could see were leaving.
