A chance meeting in the hallway.

"Oh, hey," Jonathan called out to Cindy as she walked past him after he stepped out of his room. "You look great in that summer dress!"

"Thank you! I might as well take advantage of the LA sun while I still can!" she smiled, unconsciously brushing her hair back over her left ear. "You look great too! But you always do... I mean..."

"I actually feel I'm underdressed since I'm so used to wearing a uniform," he chuckled, looking down at his white polo shirt and khakis. "Do you want to head down to the lobby to wait for the rest of the group?"

"Um, sure!" she nodded and they proceeded to walk down the hallway towards the elevators.

Jonathan pressed the call button and they both awkwardly looked up at the elevator hall lantern while patiently waiting for the elevator to arrive.

"Um, Jon, I hope I didn't embarrass you back at the studio..."

"It's okay, that was nothing compared to having my mother sitting next to me on national television!" he replied, looking around to make sure his mother was not around.

"Yeah, I think all Chinese mothers are like her..." Cindy giggled as the elevator door opened.

Being an officer and a gentleman, Jonathan motioned for her to enter the elevator cab first. "Ladies first."

"My mom kept hounding me throughout medical school and residency, 'Are there any handsome doctors you can date?'" Cindy rolled her eyes, recalling too many conversations with her mother about dating and marriage.

"That sounds very familiar..." Jonathan sighed as the elevator doors started to close behind him.

"Wait!" a female voice cried out.

Jonathan hit the door open button.
