CHRISTY PUSHED through the doors of Richmond General Monday afternoon, unable to escape the feeling that her entire world had somehow been tilted on its side. How could things feel so monumentally different in only seventy-two hours?

Eric and Trevor had left the cabin early yesterday morning after breakfast, while she had stayed on with Viv. She’d also purposely avoided being alone with Trevor, confused by all the things Viv had said, about the way she felt when she looked at him.

About the way he made her feel when he looked at her.

She’d gone home to Viv’s last night, then stopped by her place to change before work today. The workmen would be finishing up her floors by the end of today, so she could reclaim her own bed when she got off shift tomorrow morning.

Viv was already on shift and they’d planned to have dinner in the cafeteria together if Christy could swing it, but Viv had left a message canceling earlier. She was going out with Eric when she got off work tonight. Just dinner and conversation, she’d stipulated, but Christy still worried about her. Viv wasn’t in ICU tonight, she’d been floated to Emergency, so now she probably wouldn’t see her until sometime tomorrow.

Christy rode the elevator to the second-floor ICU unit, wondering if she and Trevor could keep a dinner date to just food and simple conversation. Her entire body had ached as she’d watched him drive away yesterday morning. Why had she kept herself away from him all morning? Just one touch, one kiss. But no, she’d told herself distance was best until she figured out what she was feeling. Well, she had a whole bunch of distance now and what had that done for her and her aching hormones? Zip. She should have jumped the guy when she had the chance.

That kiss…It had followed her into her dreams, dreams that hadn’t included Vivian’s interruption. She sighed and forced him out of her thoughts—again—as the doors slid open. She had a twelve-hour shift ahead of her and doubted it would run smoothly. They never did. She’d need all her thoughts focused on the job at hand, and not on visions of what Trevor’s hands could have been doing if she’d stayed with him by that fire. Instead of talking to Viv about soul mates…and giving love a chance. Love. She snorted. What she had was a serious case of lust. But what could it be if you gave it a chance? her little voice persisted as she waved and greeted Jolie and Sam, her shift mates for the night.

Since she hadn’t given Trevor her phone number, and more important, he hadn’t asked for it, or asked about where she lived…it was probably all a moot point. The storm, the cozy cabin, the odd circumstances of their acquaintance…that’s all it had been. He was off starting a whole new life for himself. He had no more time for her than she did for him. But instead of feeling relieved, she felt sort of depressed.
