Doctor Niles Crane was sitting in his office listening to another person whine and complain about their problems. He sighed.

"Well I believe our session is over. See you next week." Niles said.

"Thank you so much for seeing me on such short notice Dr. Crane." The man responded. He and Niles stood and he walked to the door.

"It's not a problem." Niles stated. The man walked out of the room and Niles sighed loudly. The phone rang twice and Niles answered it.

"What do you want?" Niles asked.

"Niles?" The familiar voice sounded hurt.

"Daphne?" Niles questioned.

"Who'd you expect?" Daphne asked.

"I'm sorry Daphne. I've had a rough day." Niles replied.

"Oh. Well, I was calling to see what you want for dinner." Daphne said.

"I don't care. Did you invite dad to eat with us?" Niles asked.

"I'll call and ask him and Doctor Crane if they want to come." Daphne replied. "Bye Niles." Niles hung up the phone and walked back to his desk. The phone rang again. Niles answered it.

"Did you forget something my love?" Niles asked.

"My love? Really Niles?" The voice on the other end questioned in disgust.

"Mel?" Niles asked.

"Who else were you expecting?" Mel questioned.

"Nobody." Niles lied.

"Oh-kay." Mel said. "Well I want you to meet me at the coffee shop in twenty minutes."

"Mel, I'm married and divorced from you. You can't hold anything over me anymore." Niles said.

"Oh Daphne, I forgot all about her. Well, anyway. Just be there." Mel replied before she hung up. Flabbergasted, Niles hung up the phone. He picked it up and dialed.

"Daphne, I'm so sorry. A patient just walked in. I have to take him for a session, then I will go pick up my own dinner. There is no reason for you to wait and make everybody eat a late and cold dinner. I love you." Niles said to the answering machine. He hung up the phone and walked out of his office.
