IF IT HAD BEEN A MISTAKE to open a clinic in the hospital where Steven worked, I was guilty as charged. I’d never stopped loving him and as much as I told myself, he was just a do-gooder, showing me the ropes, being a good team player and all that, on some level I knew we’d rekindle our relationship. Maybe I should have set up my practice somewhere else. There were plenty of hospitals to choose from but... I didn’t want to. Just when I thought I was over him, my heart started beating all over again.

Steven Russo was not a man you could resist. He was helpful and sweet plus those piercing blue eyes seemed to bore into my soul, but it was his touch that did me in. And that back rub. The slightest brush of his hands upon my skin, the scent of his cologne. All of it made my pulse quicken to say nothing of the kiss. It wasn’t a passionate kiss and it wasn’t a friendly kiss, but a promise of more. Against my better judgment I’d leaned into it, soaking up the man that I’d missed so much only to find him break away all too soon. He grinned down at me and then asked what I needed.

After three weeks of lunches in the cafeteria, flowers delivered to my home every night, I agreed to go to dinner with him. I can do this, I told myself. It doesn’t mean we are back together. After all, we are friends. Very good friends as a matter of fact. I’d insisted on treating because that was what friends did, right? Plus I was grateful. He’d called in a few favors for building permits so we could break ground on the Mission in the Spring. Right after the baby was born.

“God, you look gorgeous by candlelight,” Steven said, holding my hand across the table. “I’m glad you came.”

“Me too.”

He was very fidgety for some reason. Almost like he was nervous but why should he be nervous? This wasn’t our first date. Sweat dripped down the side of his face and he kept glancing at his watch for some reason.

“Steven... What’s going on?”

“Just want to make sure I don’t have any emergencies,” he explained.

“In the kitchen?”

“What?”

“You keep glancing toward the kitchen.”

“Oh. Um no. Ha Ha. Yeah, no.”

Strange.

“Uh huh.” I wasn’t buying it. Not one bit. I placed the napkin on my lap, trying to ignore whatever was going on with him. Maybe it was like our first date. For him anyway. “I’m starved. I feel like I haven’t eaten all day but I know I have,” I said. “Pregnancy is weird. I’m always hungry. Horny too.”

The water he’d been sipping burst forth like a geyser.

Giggling I added, “Sorry. It just slipped out.”

“It’s fine.” He dabbed his lips with a napkin then glanced over his shoulder once again.

“Steven, what are you looking at?”

“Oh, they’re here.”

“Who?”

“The musicians.” A man with sandy brown hair and a handlebar mustache, appeared on my right.
