CHAPTER FIFTEEN

“Someone’s happy.”

Anna tried to wipe the smile off her face that had been a permanent resident since arriving to the hospital. It was three p.m. and she’d only been at work a few hours, but she was practically dead on her feet as the last few days caught up to her. It didn’t stop the grin, however. Anna handed cash to the coffee attendant and turned to look at Kym, who stood behind her, amused, hands in her lab coat pocket.

“Anna, go back to smiling, now you look like you’ve sucked on a lemon but you secretly enjoyed it.”

Quickly, Anna relaxed her face. “Can we add a skinny latte to that order?” she asked the attendant, handing over more cash.

It wasn’t until they were standing to the side, waiting for their orders, that Kym went back to staring at her. Anna simply stared back.

“You had sex.”

At Kym’s words, Anna whipped her head around, thankful to find that no one was in earshot.

When she looked back to Kym, the woman looked gleeful. “Well, that answered that.”

Opening her mouth, to argue, Anna shut it with a shrug.

“About time you two got there. Worth the wait?”

“Definitely.”

“You’re not going to give me details, are you?”

Anna shook her head, cheeks hurting from trying to smother her happiness.

“Not one? Help a widow out.”

“Are you seriously playing the widow card?”

“Without shame, too.”

Anna narrowed her eyes. “What do you want to know?”

“Was it as good as you’d think it would be, considering doing something simple like holding a door open for her led to you oozing sex?”

“We aren’t that bad!”

“Oh, it was that bad.”

Finally caving, Anna grinned. “Yes, it was that amazing.”

“The widow card won’t get me any more information than that, will it?”

“Nope.”

“You look disgustingly happy.”

“I shouldn’t, I only slept three hours.”

“Ha! Detail. I win.”

Anna laughed as she accepted their coffees, handing one over to Kym.

They turned and started heading towards their offices. Kym bumped her hip playfully against Anna’s. “I’m glad you showed up. I’ve never seen Lane so happy.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

Now rather smug, Anna sipped her coffee. “Did you go home last night at all?” Together, they leant against the back of the elevator wall.

“Got caught up. I was Psych liaison with the families. I got a little sleep in an on-call room.”

As gently as she could, Anna said, “Maybe you should move, Kym.”

“Not yet.”

Looking at the elevator buttons, Anna nodded. “Okay.”

It was suddenly silent, and Anna could tell Kym needed a topic change and was coming up blank. So, she said the thing that first popped into her head. “Wanna come for a sleepover?”

“What?”

“Come for a sleepover. Again.”

“Well, the last one wasn’t intentional.”

“Yeah, but you and Ella asleep on the couch was cute as hell.”

“That kid is cute as hell. You putting it on Facebook was not cute in any way.” Kym led the way out of the elevators as the doors opened.

“It got seventy-one likes. Don’t change the subject—come.”

“Of course I’ll come. When?”

“What about tomorrow night? Saturday night is a big night in kid world.
