CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN

BETH

“U

hnn…” The man below me groans.

I ease up on the stretch and apologize. “I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to push you too far.”

The man shakes his head. “No problem.”

It’s his first appointment, and I’ve been spacing out the entire time, I’m sure he thinks I’m the worst physical therapist ever.

Usually Fridays are a thing to be celebrated, but today has been a pile of shit. I had a bitchy patient this morning. I had a nasty run in with Trisha the Needle Queen during my lunch hour with Sissy. And I nearly walked into Angelo just an hour ago as he was coming out of the locker room. He looked handsome as ever in his loose shorts and t-shirt stretched across his oversized frame. I tried not to notice how good he smelled. I swear I even held my breath. But his stupid scent followed me all the way to my office.

The man groans again, and this time I pretend it’s on purpose.

“We’ll hold for another 3, 2, and there you go.” I release his arm and step away from the table.

The man sits up and smiles at me, as though I didn’t just absently torture him for the past 40 minutes.

Handing him a printout of the moves we worked on, I tell him to continue at home.

To top off my subpar performance, I can’t for the life of me remember his name. So, as he climbs off the table, I quick glance at his records on my computer screen. James.

As an apology, I grab out a baggie of cookies from my drawer. They aren’t very pretty, but Noah and I did our trial run of Christmas cookies last night, and if I don’t give some away we’ll be eating them until March.

“It was great to meet you, James.” I smile and hold out the bag. “I know it’s not quite the holidays, but please take these home and share them with your wife.”

He wouldn’t shut up about his pregnant wife, so I’m positive they won’t go to waste.

His face lights up as he takes the bag. “Wow, that’s so thoughtful!”

Opening the door, I guide James out of the office.

We take a few more steps until we’re out on the main floor. “Trust me, you’re doing me a favor by taking these.”

I see the mountain behind James, moving our way, but I purposefully ignore it.

“My wife will kill me if I don’t give you a thank you hug,” James says as he holds his arms out.

Normally, I’d say this is creepy behavior, but this guy is just weird enough, and obsessed with his wife enough, that I think he’s being honest.

The approaching form is getting larger, and unmistakable.

I smile and hold my arms out to accept the hug. “Can’t have you getting killed on my behalf,” I joke.

When James bends to hug me, I see that Angelo is now just a few feet away. His eyes are narrowed, and his fists are clenched.
