The Book Beside the Keyboard

Helen wanted the paper book off the counter, because two people were already waiting for the same chair.

Dr. Adeyemi still kept a hardback there, with a frayed ribbon, because he did not trust the screen the practice had already paid to use. Helen ran the front desk. When a call came in and he was between patients, he wrote the name in the book and said the computer could catch up later. Later never arrived. Mrs. Adler had a cleaning on the screen. Her sister, who had phoned the evening before, existed only in the book. Helen had left the sister in the waiting room with a magazine and a promise she was not sure she could keep.

She laid the open book beside the keyboard and turned the monitor so he could see both.
