Chapter Eight

A few days later, Wade walked out of the exam room, whistling.

It had been a good morning so far and his mood matched it. The cute little terrier he’d just treated hadn’t had anything too serious for his owners to worry about. Only a slight fever accompanying a clogged anal gland. A minor treatment and a few days on antibiotics and the dog should be back to his frisky self.

He slid the chart over to Becky at the reception desk and then resumed his whistling, about to pick up another patient chart.

“All right,” Becky said, crossing her arms. “Who are you and what have you done with Dr. Roberts?”

Wade glanced up. “What are you talking about?”

“You,” she said pointedly. “First, you’ve been coming in smiling these last few days and now you’re whistling. You’re whistling the theme from Star Wars, but still. It’s all so strange. Does this have anything to do with a certain wedding planner?”

Wade blinked, then placed the folder down on the desk. “You mean Arden?”

“Of course I mean Arden. Are you dating another wedding planner? I love seeing you so happy.”

Wade frowned. “What are you talking about? I’ve always been happy.”

Fairly happy.

Well, he could admit he’d been a lot happier since the merry matchers had been off his back. Plus, he and Arden had settled upon a nice, easy routine of meeting up at the Drip N Sip for coffee in the mornings before work, so Judy and anyone else in town could see them together. He’d even started looking forward to it. Arden was so different from his gentle Miranda—not that it was a bad thing. He admired Arden’s forwardness and he enjoyed her sense of humor. And for all her teasing of his studiousness, she had a pretty sharp mind herself.

Becky threw her hands up. “Okay. Whatever you say, Doc. Sorry I mentioned it.” She rolled her eyes. “Oh, and by the way, not to kill your happy mojo right now, but Violet Jenkins was in earlier this morning.”

At the mention of Happy Paws Shelter’s newest board addition, his stomach clenched. “What did she need?”

Becky shrugged. “She just asked a lot of questions, then left.”

“What kind of questions?”

“Routine questions about the shelter mainly. Although she did ask a few about you and Arden, too. Wondering if Arden came here to see you at the clinic and how long you’ve known each other. If you ask me, that woman has a thing for you. But don’t worry. I made a point of telling her how happy you were with Arden just in case she had any ideas that you were still available.”

“Yeah…thanks.” Wade scratched his head. He hoped Violet’s questions really were only routine and there wasn’t anything more to it than that. But just in case, he’d better call Arden and give her a heads-up. “Tell Jane to put the next patient in the open exam room. I need to make a call and then I’ll be right in.”

“Will do, boss.”

Wade walked back into his office and closed the door.
