I immediately noticed that Denise was taken aback by David's presence, and her expression clearly displayed surprise.
Then she repeatedly glanced back and forth between David and me.
"Are you,...by any chance, David Peterson, the Famous and Most Attractive Surgeon in town?" Denise asked David, astonished and intrigued.
I was puzzled as I observed David, who seemed uninterested in Denise's comment and merely looked at her as if she were acting irrationally.
"And who are you?" David responded to Denise, still in disbelief that she was standing before him.
"Well, I'm Rina's one and only friend... Are you the person she came here with?" Denise inquired, seemingly forgetting her previous remarks about David.
"Yes, that's me," David replied calmly.
"I assume you're the one I heard scolding Rina earlier and mentioning that I'm her 'rebound'," he added, his tone devoid of emotion.
