This fine man in his early forties was your dentist. You always refer to him as Kade, nothing fancy.

Today you had an appointment with him again. He gently helped you onto your seat, just like he did with every patient.

He smiled down at you as he pulled up his mask and got all the dental instruments ready.

“Say ’ahh‘ for me!“

He spoke to you. He used a tone as if talking to a child, after all you were by far younger than he was and he got used to it by now.
