There&#8217;s a way around that.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>So what was it that you wanted to talk to me about?<\/p>\n<p>Well, there is something I was discussing&#8230;\u00a0 [clears throat] With my grandmother.\u00a0Hello there, Ms. DiMera.\u00a0 Sorry to keep you waiting.Oh, that&#8217;s OK.\u00a0I see you&#8217;re here for a follow-up\u00a0 after radiation exposure?\u00a0 And you&#8217;re also nine weeks pregnant.\u00a0 Is that correct?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sorry, I thought we were seeing Dr. Johnson today?<\/p>\n<p>She got called away on an emergency,\u00a0 so I&#8217;ll be stepping in for her.\u00a0 I&#8217;m Dr. Greene, three E&#8217;s.\u00a0Oh, Greene.\u00a0 Any relation to Felicity Greene?\u00a0Yeah, she&#8217;s my sister.\u00a0Oh, my God, I love her.\u00a0 She comes into the bakery all the time,\u00a0 and she&#8217;s like practically my apprentice.<\/p>\n<p>Of course.\u00a0 Chanel, I should have realized.\u00a0 Felicity talks about you all the time.\u00a0She&#8217;s awesome.\u00a0Well, she loves spending time with you.\u00a0 She says it&#8217;s like the most fun she ever has.\u00a0Oh, that is a mutual feeling, and I- your sister, she&#8217;s just so great.\u00a0Yeah, well, I think so too.\u00a0And I&#8217;m Johnny.

I know. I know.\u00a0 You&#8211;you don&#8217;t like me because of what happened\u00a0 with your grandson, Will.\u00a0 But if anyone had a reason to hold a grudge,\u00a0 it was yours truly.\u00a0 That guy rolled me up in a dusty old rug\u00a0 and left me for dead.\u00a0 Honestly, I would think that you might want to make amends\u00a0 on behalf of your family.\u00a0So you&#8217;re not going to go away\u00a0 until I agree to help you?\u00a0Probably not.\u00a0 Look, I am a mess, OK?\u00a0 That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m here.\u00a0 Earlier today&#8230;\u00a0 oh, I can&#8217;t even get the words out.\u00a0 I hit on a straight man.\u00a0 Look, I know, I tend to flirt pretty, you know,\u00a0 indiscriminately, somewhat compulsively actually,\u00a0 but that&#8217;s just because I&#8217;m wildly insecure\u00a0 and constantly trying to get people to see that I&#8217;m&#8211;\u00a0 I&#8217;m&#8211;I&#8217;m adorable and worthy of love.\u00a0Wow, that is psychologically astute.\u00a0Well, I read a lot of self-help books\u00a0 and listen to mental health podcasts\u00a0 pretty much around the clock.\u00a0 My favorite is &#8220;Kooky Conundrums,&#8221;\u00a0 but I also like &#8220;Bonkers Banter.&#8221;\u00a0 But this&#8211;this-this is different.\u00a0 And it&#8217;s all because of this&#8211;this letter.\u00a0 It is driving me crazy.\u00a0 Oh.\u00a0 All right, I&#8217;ll give you the CliffsNotes version.\u00a0 The love of my life broke up with me&#8211;\u00a0 by snail mail, no less.\u00a0 Handwritten, but I mean, come on, how th century is that?\u00a0 Hey, who even keeps stamps anymore?\u00a0 Who even has a pen?\u00a0So this is all about a breakup?\u00a0Well, no, it&#8217;s not-it&#8217;s not just a breakup.\u00a0 I really opened myself up to Dimitri.\u00a0 I thought he was the one.\u00a0 Now I know it was all just a lie.\u00a0 Dr. Evans, I don&#8217;t understand.\u00a0 I&#8217;m funny.
