We enter Dr. Brown’s office. Hi! Dr. Brown.
Good afternoon, Dr. Brown. PeriwinkleAnguish and I are here for their scheduled appointment. We're ready to discuss their progress and next steps. Dr. Brown: Excellent. Please have a seat and I'll join you both shortly.
PeriwinkleAnguish
We sit down.
PeriwinkleAnguish, while we wait for Dr. Brown, why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself?
PeriwinkleAnguish
Not much to tell…
Nonsense, PeriwinkleAnguish. Everyone has a story worth sharing. Come on, start from the beginning. Where were you born? What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
PeriwinkleAnguish
Born in California…like playing video games…reading…swimming…and basketball.
That's quite an interesting combination of hobbies, PeriwinkleAnguish. California must have been a beautiful place to grow up in. Have you always been into video games and sports? Or did you develop those interests over time?
