Sunday dinner went well, as Cecilia was quiet for a change, and spent the meal observing everyone. Carter was careful not to show any emotion where Susannah was concerned, lest it be construed as affection. Nathan cornered him on his way to the outhouse.

“So, who is she?” he asked, raising his eyebrows.

“A family friend.”

“If she’s not being courted by you, I might be interested,” Nathan said with a wink.

Carson felt his face flush with anger, but he tried to tamp it down. “I don't think she's ready for you, Nathan. I want her to fully recuperate, and her cousin may come for her at any time.”

“Recuperate?”

“If you must know, she was a patient from the hospital who’s under my protection.”

“Why? What’s wrong with her?”

“Nothing. She was committed by an aunt who wanted to be rid of her for her money.”

“Does that happen often?”

“I’m afraid it does.”

“Let me just take her for a ride in my new buggy…” Nathan let the sentence hang.

“No!”

Well, you don’t have to get so upset, unless, of course, you're stamping out your territory?” Nathan asked.

Carter shook his head. He had to tell Nathan something. “I do have a bit of a soft spot for her, but I can’t show it with Cecilia here. She’d tear Susannah apart if she thought we were more than just doctor and patient.”

“Are you more than doctor and patient?”

“No, not yet. I’m very fond of her, though.”

“I see,” Nathan said. “Your secret’s safe with me.”

“Good,” Carter said.

“So Cecilia’s still after you?” he asked.

“I thought she’d leave when I told her I had no intention of getting back with her. I never answered any of her letters, and yet she stays here and refuses to give up. Meg is tired of her,” Carter said. “If you want to take someone for a drive, take her—and leave her somewhere.”

“I wouldn’t touch her with gloves on,” Nathan said.
