Chapter 16

Regina had seen the notepaper clipped to the folder, and had meant to look at it. But by the time she had two tea mugs in hand and remembered it again, the folder and note were already securely tucked under her arm. Not wanting to set everything down just to read it, she walked to the room where Lydia waited and used her hip to open the already ajar door the rest of the way.

“Hello, Lydia, I made tea. . .oh. Hello, Morrie Fox. You’re certainly not Lydia. Where’s Lydia?” Regina asked, staring at the concerned man sitting in a chair patiently waiting and looking a tad uncomfortable.

“Down the hall being sick,” Morrie said, frowning. “Sorry if I surprised you. The receptionist said you were with someone, so we couldn’t ask beforehand. Since we were both listed as your patients, we just sort of assumed it would be okay for us to come talk to you together. Lydia and I are involved.”

Her reply ended up being a non-committal sound followed by a shrug, not because she cared that they both came, but because Regina didn’t know what to say yet. Confessing that she already knew about them being a couple was not even an option on her list.

Taking the chair across from Morrison Fox, Regina put the tea mugs on a nearby table.

“Want some tea, Morrie?” she asked at last, pleased to find her tongue was going to work after all.

Morrie shook his head. “No thanks. But if you could fix it so Lydia doesn’t get sick every time she talks about us being together, I’d owe you for the rest of my life.”

Regina sighed and gave the obviously already-in-love man a sympathetic smile. “I’ll see what I can do.” She turned her head as Lydia gingerly opened the door and slipped back inside.

“Sorry,” Lydia said quickly, heading to the chair that Morrie patted with his hand. “Sorry I got wound up—again,” she repeated, looking at the man who smiled at her as she sat. “I can’t believe I’m throwing up in strange bathrooms as well as my own because of you.”

Morrie laughed. “Fine, go ahead and blame me. One day you’ll know I’m worth it.”

Lydia snorted and looked at Regina. “Sorry if I kept you waiting.”

Regina handed Lydia a cup of soothing chamomile and lemongrass tea. “You didn’t. I had just come in and found Morrie, which was a bit of a surprise. So the two of you are in a relationship?”

“Yes” Morrie answered.

At the same time, Lydia said, “Not really.”

Regina laughed into her tea as Morrie swung a stern gaze at Lydia. She laughed more when Lydia sighed and looked chagrined about her answer.

“Okay. I suppose Morrison—I mean, Morrie and I are dating. I wouldn’t necessarily call that a relationship.”

“Well, what label would you put on your rela…connection to Morrie?” Regina asked, correcting herself.

Lydia crossed her arms, several unflattering terms to describe the torture coming to mind, but she’d caught Regina’s slip. “You think I’m a silly
