Natural Healing From Within .
“No way, really ?” Sarah said reading the words.
Her dad was using his power to heal people. She smiled at the thought and opened the door. She walked in followed closely by Lash and was immediately met with the pungent smell of herbs and oils. She glanced at the wall with shelves of bottles in different colors and sizes. The office was small, but it felt homey. There were a few comfortable looking chairs and a large brown leather couch. There were live plants scattered around and paintings that looked similar to the ones that hung in her great grandmother’s house. She wandered over to the counter and saw a clip board that had a sign up for a newsletter on natural health. It already had at least thirty names on it. She noticed there was a door behind the counter and knew someone was getting ready to walk through.
“Where’s your dad?” Lash asked as he picked up a small bottle of oil and sniffed it suspiciously.
Sarah gestured towards the door and didn’t say anything. Three seconds later, her dad walked through the door and then turned and held it open for an older couple who walked more slowly.
“I think you’ll find the symptoms will fade gradually over the next week. Call me next Tuesday and we’ll set up a follow up appointment okay?” Race said, looking over at Sarah and Lash with a surprised smile.
The couple thanked her father over and over and then left hurriedly, smiling at each other.
“Wow, I had no idea you were in to all of this,” she said, gesturing to the walls of oils and herbs.
Race shrugged and looked uncomfortable for a moment. “It’s the one thing that makes me happy. Knowing that I can help people. So what brings you two here on such a beautiful fall day. You should be out enjoying the sun while it’s here. Pretty soon you’re going to be covered in snow and ice,” he said, not sounding very happy about it.
Sarah glanced over her shoulder and out the window at the weak sunlight that was already fading. “It’s not like we didn’t get snow in Pennsylvania. Winter is winter.”
Race shook his head in pity. “Oh honey, you haven’t experienced winter until your whole world is covered in ice. So what brings you by?” he asked again.
Sarah frowned and looked away. Lash cleared his throat and stepped forward. “We were wondering if I could borrow your car so I could drive Sarah home. She kind of, um, missed her ride.”
Race looked at Lash with a raised eyebrow and then turned and looked at Sarah’s misery filled eyes. “What happened?”
Lash and Sarah looked at each other. Sarah knew Lash would come up with something to save her embarrassment, but what did it matter? Might as well get it all out in the open right now. Covering up the fact that Zane had just dumped her would just prolong the pain.
“Zane dumped me after school for that girl Charlie I was telling you about yesterday. He’s with her right now at your house, hanging out,” she said tonelessly.
Race looked surprised, but didn’t say anything for a moment. “Interesting. Do you mind if I ask, um, how he uh, dumped you? Did he actually say the words, I’m breaking up with you ?”
Lash put a bottle of herbs down and looked at Race. “It was actually kind of weird and awkward. I was there and saw the whole thing. Zane kind of just stood there, while Charlie broke up for him. But he didn’t say one word to stop her. He just stood there like an idiot and let Charlie annihilate Sarah.”
Sarah frowned and turned away. Lash was right. It had been weird. Horrific, embarrassing and painful and yet, really kind of weird. It wasn’t a break up scene she would have ever picture Zane in. He was usually so self-assured and knew his own mind. He was more the type to take her out to dinner, give her a necklace and tell her gently.
Race leaned up against the counter and frowned at his feet as he thought it over. “Interesting. Lash, go ahead and drive Sarah home. Just make
