Chapter Nine

Dana waited while Trevor unlocked his door, then she followed him inside the room. Their wineglasses were still on the coffee table, as was the ice bucket, although most of the ice had melted.

A large cart stood just to the left of the door. She wrinkled her nose. “I have a bad feeling that everything is going to be cold...or warm, depending on what you ordered.”

“Nothing complicated,” Trevor said as he raised silver covers and studied the contents of the plates. “Salad, steak, potatoes. It doesn’t look very appetizing now.”

She crossed to the sofa and pulled out the wine bottle. “That’s okay with me. I’m way too excited to be hungry.” After emptying both their glasses, she poured them each cold wine, then handed him his. “I can’t believe how smoothly that went. You were great.”

“Thanks.” His smile was rueful. “You were a big help. I know I wouldn’t have fallen apart, but it was a lot easier with you there.” He squinted at the window. Outside it was dark, but the rain had let up. “I wonder if they’re at the hospital yet” The ambulance had left a half hour ago.

She glanced at the clock. It was already after ten. Funny, she wasn’t the least bit tired. It was adrenaline, she told herself. The situation had been unexpected and she hadn’t had time to do more than react Now she was sailing on those chemicals flowing through her body. In a little while she would crash and get tired and maybe a little shaky.

Trevor took the bottle from her and set it down. He raised his glass to her. “Here’s to Shelly and her new son.”

“To them both. They have an exciting start to a wonderful relationship.” She touched her glass to his, then took a sip. The wine was cool and crisp. “How are you feeling?”

“Relieved,” he said. “You?”

“A little wired. It takes me a while to wind down from things like that.” She shrugged. “It’s been a while since I was directly involved in patient care. At times I miss it. Now that I know everything is fine, I can say it was fun.”

He raised his eyebrows. “That’s not the word I would choose.”

She placed her free hand on his chest. “Come on, Trevor. It wasn’t so bad. Admit it You got a real kick out of helping her.”

“I’m willing to admit that the thought of assisting in another birth isn’t going to make me break out in a cold sweat, but I refuse to believe it was fun. Give me surgery any day.”

She laughed. He joined in, then suddenly they weren’t laughing anymore. When he took the wineglass from her hand and set it on the table next to his, she thought about protesting. She was enjoying her drink. Then he cupped her face in his hands and she couldn’t think about anything except the fact that he was going to kiss her and she was going to let him.

His mouth was sure and firm as it caressed hers.
