Maybe This Christmas…?. Alison Roberts

warm glow unfurled somewhere deep inside Gemma but outwardly all she did was shrug. ‘I wouldn’t say that.’
‘I would. You completed your medical degree. It was hard enough for me and I had family support and no responsibilities. I’ve still got a pretty impressive student debt.’
‘Tell me about it.’ But Gemma didn’t want to go there. She’d shared more than enough of her difficult background. Any more and they’d need to bring in the violins and that was definitely not an atmosphere that was going to help get her into the right space for what had to come. The task she still wasn’t quite ready for. Time to change the subject and get to know her new friend a little better. ‘What made you choose to go into medicine?’
‘I think I always wanted to be a doctor. My dad’s a GP in Norwich.’
‘Family tradition?’
Andy grinned. ‘Familiar, anyway. I just grew up knowing that the only thing I wanted to be was a doctor. Maybe I was too lazy to think of anything else I wanted to be.’ His gaze was interested. ‘How ‘bout you?’
‘Laura had to have her appendix out when she was seven and the surgeon was the loveliest woman, who arranged permission for me to stay in the hospital with her for a couple of days. I fell in love with both the surgeon and the hospital. Plus, I had to choose a career that would enable me to always be able to take care of my sister.’
