Tanner kissed her lips lightly before sitting down at the table. Madison hadn't stopped smiling since they returned from Las Vegas the day before. Being with Tanner made her happy. He seemed to feel likewise, although he'd had a moment of dark clouds right as they were boarding their plane. It had quickly dissipated and he'd been acting normally since.

"I'm sorry I'm late. I had to talk to Chris after the meeting. Have you been waiting long?" Tanner asked.

She shook her head. "Just long enough to get settled and get a hot cup of cocoa. It's freezing out there today." Madison shivered, even in the warm restaurant. It had been cold in Chicago, but she'd spent most of her time in the hospital so it rarely mattered. Here in Springwood she had more of a personal life. Not that it was easy having one when it was around zero degrees with a couple of feet of snow on the ground.

The waitress came to take Tanner's drink order and then bustled away. "You look tired, Maddie. Hard day?"

She smiled remembering the long list of patients she'd seen. "More like long day. I saw my last patient less than an hour ago. Tina Sands brought her eleven year old in today. He'd broken his arm playing King of the Mountain on a fifteen-foot snowbank. Up until then I was running on time. After that, I was late all day."

Tanner thanked the waitress for his coffee. "That's right. School was out today for some teacher thing. I take it he took a tumble down that snowbank? Hell, I remember doing the same thing when I was his age. Lucky I ever made it to twelve."

"I'm very glad you did. That reminds me, Sheriff. What are we going to do for your birthday?"

Since finding out his birthday was this week, she'd been trying to think of a present or something special they could do. The problem was he seemed to be a man who had everything. Or at least everything he needed. She couldn't even think of something he didn't need but would like to have, other than to have a better relationship with his son. She wasn't sure she could do anything there, and she wasn't one to stick her nose where it didn't belong. If he wanted her help with it, he'd ask. Until then, she planned to butt out.

Tanner winced. "Ignore it and maybe it will go away? Honey, I'm going to be forty-five. I outgrew balloons and ponies a long time ago. Maybe we can just have a nice dinner or something." His smile grew. "I can think of a few 'or somethings' we can do. If you're game."

Madison pretended to pout. "You have to have cake. And ice cream. If not for yourself, think of others. Like me, for instance."

"How about if I eat the cake off of you?"

That sounded like a good idea. Maybe they could get some dessert to go from the restaurant tonight. If something was worth doing, it was worth doing more than once.
