He accepted her hand, but released it quickly. "Yes, well." Dr. Connors looked at the blonde woman with barely disguised distaste. "And you are?"

"I'm — "

Lex cut off the smaller woman's answer. "This is my," she smiled, "fiancee, Amanda Cauble." She was pleased to note the look on the doctor's face. Asshole.

"Umm." He blinked several times, then extended his hand. "Nice to meet you, Miss Cauble." He smiled at her. Fiancee, huh? She's still a bit young—probably just a phase she's going through. "If you'll excuse us, I'd like to examine my patient."

Amanda felt the hairs on the back of her neck rise. What a complete jerk. No way I'm going to leave Lex alone in here with him. "I think I'll stay here, thank you." She crossed her arms over her chest and backed up against the wall. "I'll keep out of your way."

Dr. Connors sighed. "Right." He pulled on a pair of latex gloves and took a penlight from his pocket. "Open up so I can take a look at your throat," he directed Lex. He continued his examination for several minutes in silence, only speaking enough to get information from his patient. With a final heavy sigh, he peeled the gloves from his hands and tossed them into the waste bin. "I'm going to give you a shot, and then you'll be ready to go. Drink plenty of fluids, and don't call back unless something drastic happens."

"I assume I'm going to live?" Lex asked sardonically, as she buttoned up her shirt. "What do I have?" She sneezed several times, which triggered a bout of coughing. Amanda rushed over and rubbed her back.

"Nothing more than a cold, Lexington. Quite a few folks have come in with the same symptoms." He handed her a tissue. "Take a few aspirin for the fever, and you should be fine in a few days." Dr. Connors had cut the examination short, since he'd seen many of the symptoms from other patients that morning. "You could have probably survived with over the counter remedies without coming to me. I'll leave your paperwork up front." He turned on his heel and left the room quickly.

Amanda started to follow him out of the room, her face red with fury. "That little—" The hand that grabbed the back of her belt stopped her.

"Hold on, there." Lex pulled Amanda towards her. "Let him go." She wrapped her long arms around her lover and kissed the younger woman on the neck.

"Mmm." Amanda leaned back into the embrace and tilted her head to one side. Her eyes closed in reaction to the rancher's lips on her skin, and she sighed quietly. "Okay. I'll allow him to live, for now." She turned around and linked her hands behind Lex's neck, her heart aching at the red-rimmed eyes that looked back at her. "C'mon, I want to take you over to Gramma's house, so you can get some rest."

Lex shook her head. "No." She leaned forward and rested her forehead against Amanda's chest.
