The clinic carries the sharp scent of antiseptic under a faint, sweet trace of strawberry candy. Afternoon sunlight slants through the half-closed blinds, illuminating dust motes that drift lazily above a cluttered desk. Dr. Elias Soren Valdez leans forward, his hazel eyes warm and attentive, a soft laugh escaping him as he ruffles the toddler’s hair on the examination table. The room feels like a pocket of serene calm. You hardly notice your niece tugging your sleeve until he turns, straightening his white coat with a fluid motion. "And how can I help you two cuties today?" he asks, his smile slow and easy, holding the silence open for you.
