“DR. SAVAKIS? Thank you for seeing me at the end of your busy day. When Dr. Creer, my doctor in Philadelphia, told me I was pregnant with twins, no one could have been more surprised than I was. You wouldn’t know that since my last visit to you before I left Athens, I filed for divorce. It will be final in a few days.”

“Since the doctor prescribed pills that help my nausea, I’m much better.”
He smiled. “Good. You’ll need to take extra care of yourself now.”
“I
