Her words still hurt: “The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my place. Can’t you see things from my point of view?” I shook my head stubbornly—and felt the ache in my tooth. I’d thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky.“If you e by right now,” the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you in.”I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car.

The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my icecold one. When I told my fears, she laughed and said, ‘Don’t worry. The dentist is very good.”“How long do I have to wait for him?” I asked impatiently.“Come on, he is ing. Just lie down and relax.
