We reach my house, and I can’t wait to get inside. This guy plays games, and even if I’m refusing to play, it’s exhausting. There must be people who just give up fighting it because he’s so intense.

I slip my key in the door, and turn back toward Ash. “Thanks for dinner.”

“Thank you for coming with me. Maybe we could do it again sometime.” He flashes that vibrant smile and before I know it, his lips are on mine, his tongue pressing for entrance into my mouth.

“Get off me.” I push, my heart pounding with panic.

He runs his hand through his hair, his eyes piercing me. “I thought …”

“You thought what? I said no.” All I want is Drew—all I need is Drew. If I ever doubted how strong my feelings were, there’s no more doubt.

Ash reaches for my elbow. “I want you to come and join us.”

“Don’t touch me.” I pull back.

He licks his lips and nods. “I’ll leave, but please consider it.”

“I told you, I’m happy with my life the way it is.”

Taking a step back, he doesn’t take his eyes from me. In another place, another life, maybe I could fall for this guy, but not this way and not here or now. “Think about it. I know you’ll change your mind.”

He turns and walks down the path toward the road. I shove the door open and stumble inside, closing and locking it behind me.

Drew.

I reach the couch and sink into it, retrieving my mobile before I throw my bag on the floor. It’s after ten, but surely he’ll still be awake. I can only hope I can get a signal.

The line rings and rings, and just as I give up hope of him answering, there’s a noise in the background.

“Drew Campbell’s phone,” a tired woman’s voice answers, and my stomach climbs into my throat.

“Is Drew there?”

“Doctor Campbell’s in surgery and it’s a complex one so he’s left his phone at the desk for emergencies. Can I take a message?”

I let out a breath and close my eyes. “Umm, can you please tell him that Hayley called?”

“Are you a patient of his?”

“No. I’m his girlfriend.”

“I’ll let him know. You’re the midwife who brought that girl in the other week, aren’t you?”

“Yes.”

“I’ve worked with Drew since he was a trainee doctor. It’s nice to see him with a smile on his face. That last girlfriend he had just made him miserable.” She pauses. “I hope I haven’t spoken out of turn.”

“Not at all,” I croak. Her words touch my heart.

“I’ll pass on your message. I’m not sure how long he’s going to be.”

“I understand. Thank you.”

Hanging up the phone, I burst into tears. While her words were lovely, all I want is to hear Drew’s voice. It might have been easier to get his voicemail.

I’m a mess. Carrying my phone with me, I drag myself to the bedroom and strip off my clothes. I pick up Drew’s T-shirt from the bed and tug it on over my head. It doesn’t smell of him, but it’s the closest thing to the man I’m falling for I have.
