CHAPTER NINE

HER SHIFT THANKFULLY over after twelve hours, Katy headed to the changing room, grateful to put on real clothes for what seemed like the first time all week. She felt physically and mentally exhausted. Emotionally, too. Today was the anniversary of her father’s death. It was the one day of the year she allowed herself to mourn and be sad. The distance between her and Alec added to the heaviness in her chest.

The heaviness had been weighing there since the wedding. Just as the two of them had been about to dance, after they’d shared a kiss so sweet she’d nearly melted to the floor, he’d yanked his hand from hers like she was a leper. Told his parents he thought of her as a sister, and the words had felt like he’d jammed his fist in her solar plexus.

The man had kissed her three times, damn it. Wouldn’t any woman think that meant he wasn’t thinking of her as a “sister”? Player or no player, she had to believe Alec didn’t kiss every woman he met before turning as cold as the proverbial cucumber and running away. Then again, history had shown she was very capable of deluding herself when it came to Alec Armstrong.

It had been a week since Dr. Boswell had taken over Alec’s teaching rounds. Except for her current weariness, Katy felt like she was really finding her sea legs and not drowning in the hospital undertow. Dr. Boswell had proved to be a good teacher on rounds.

Diverted from listening to what patients had to say as he touched them with his long, beautifully shaped surgeon’s hands. Engrossed by the vision of how incredibly sexy he looked in his green scrubs, his muscular chest and athletic tush filling them out in a way that would make any woman practically swoon.

She yanked off her scrub top and pulled on her sundress, thinking of how wonderful Alec had looked in his suit and tie at the wedding, how adorable he’d been, trying to Greek-dance. He’d seemed so much like the Alec she’d been getting to know again, teasing and fun and natural, and the memory of their kiss at the hospital had made her insides all warm and gooey. She’d felt a little Cinderella-like in her beautiful dress, dancing and eating with an oh-so-handsome prince then kissing him until she’d been breathless.

Then he’d just walked away, their planned dance apparently forgotten. Angry for deluding herself, she’d found someone else to dance with.

But then she’d seen him standing there, watching her. And the look on his face, a peculiar combination of fierceness and
