Chapter Eighteen

Cassidy whistled as she strode toward Dr. Carlene Young’s office. Four weeks ago, on the way to her first appointment, her feet had dragged. Things sure could change in a month.

On this Monday after Labor Day, the weather was still warm, tourists still explored the town, but there was a different feel to the late afternoon air. A hint of autumn. She loved that season: leaves turning color, a crispness to the air, the scent of wood smoke on the breeze. She’d bet autumn in Caribou Crossing was terrific. She had been here two and a half months and her feet weren’t the least bit itchy yet. Perhaps she’d stay until December, when she’d go to Victoria for her brother’s wedding.

Her job at the Wild Rose was the best ever. When Madisun had returned to university in Vancouver, Dave had promoted Cassidy to assistant manager. He gave her lots of autonomy, listened to her ideas, and supported her when she needed it.

Their personal relationship was wonderful too. The sex just kept getting better, and so did everything else. She loved his company, whether they were riding, fixing meals, hanging out with Robin, visiting his family, or sprawling on the couch watching a movie.

It wasn’t just Dave and his daughter who’d drawn her into their lives. Cassidy had become good friends with Ms. H, and often had coffee, lunch, or drinks with Jess, Brooke, the newly wed Karen, and Dave’s sister, Lizzie. She and Maribeth from the thrift shop went to dinner and a movie together every couple of weeks. When she left, she’d miss them all. More people to keep in touch with via Facebook and e-mail. Though it wouldn’t be the same . . .

She brushed away that thought. Sometimes she couldn’t wait to leave one place and head to the next, and sometimes there were people, scenery, activities she’d miss. Always, when she reached the next destination, she dove into life there. She’d perfected the concept of moving on.

Besides, why was she thinking about the future? That wasn’t her way. Today, right now, was perfect. Especially perfect was the fact that her leg hadn’t given her the slightest bit of trouble in more than a week. Dr. Young had referred her to a neurologist in Williams Lake who’d sent her for all sorts of tests, and now Cassidy didn’t have to worry about the results. Whatever the mysterious problem had been, it had finally healed, perhaps due to the yoga Dr. Young had recommended.

How crazy she’d been to worry that she might be turning into her great-grandmother.

Rather than forcing herself to step through the door of the doctor’s office, today she went in blithely, a smile on her face as she greeted the very pregnant redheaded receptionist, Sonya.

“I’ll take you in right away,” Sonya said, starting to heft her bulk out of her chair.

“No, you sit. I can find my way. Aren’t you almost due to go on mat leave?”

“I’m working right up to the end. What better place to be when the labor pains start?”

“Good point.
