Dr. Cialdini held up his end of the bargain when he operated on Shane, and now it’s my turn.

I gulp as the phone rings. I know my friend, and she’s not going to like this.

“Oh, my God,” she says when she answers. Anabelle has never once answered a phone call from me with a hello. “Why did I get into public relations when I hate people?”

“Because of the money?” I ask.

She laughs. “No amount of money is worth taking shit from rich spoiled babies.”

“You should marry rich,” I say, trying to warm her up to the idea of going on another date with a doctor.

“That would be nice,” she says. “But all of the rich people I know are rich spoiled babies. Haven’t you been listening?”

I sit down on the stack of folded sheets in my usual supply closet where I come to make phone calls.

“You need a responsible rich guy,” I say, cringing at how fabricated this sounds. “I know just the one.”

“Mm-hm,” she grunts. “No way. I’ve seen what you have to offer, and I’m going to pass.”

“Mitchell was a mistake,” I say, starting to panic.

“You got that right. He sent me two dozen Frangipanis.”

“Frangi-what now?”

“It’s a flower from Thailand. He flew over flowers all the way from Thailand,” she says.

“That’s romantic,” I say with a cringe.

“That’s psychotic. I’m done with any guys that you have.”

I close my eyes and just spit it out. “I got you a date.”

She laughs so hard that I have to pull the phone away from my ear.

“It’s with a well-renowned surgeon,” I say quickly. “He’s hot and rich.” I leave the part of him being a bit of an asshole out. “You wanted a George Clooney type doctor, and your friend Madison delivered.”

“George Clooney?” she mutters. I grin. I got her now!

“Oh, yeah,” I say, nodding even though she can’t see me. “Big time. He’s gorgeous.”

There’s silence on the other end.

“And he’s on TV,” I say, laying it on thicker. “He’s been on a bunch of magazine covers too. He’s a real catch.”

“Send me a picture of him, and I’ll think about it.”

Yes! She’ll definitely say yes once she sees how hot Dr. Cialdini is.

We say our goodbyes, and I’m about to send her a photo when the door swings open and Dr. Mitchell Clark’s stern face is staring down at me.

Damn.

“Is that Anabelle?” he asks, looking at my phone.

“No—”

“Anabelle!” he shouts. “Hi, Anabelle, it’s me! Mitchell!”

“It’s not Anabelle,” I say, showing him the homepage of my iPhone. “Geez.”

He frowns when he sees it. “My office,” he barks. “Now.”

I sigh as he turns and charges away, leaving the door to close in my face.

“What can I do for you, Dr. Clark?” I ask when I’m seated in his office a few minutes later.

“Mr. Winters,” he says, folding his hands on his desk as he glares at me. “You had him walking around, gallivanting around the hospital before he was ready, and as a result, a blood clot formed.”

“That is not what happened,” I say, narrowing my eyes on him.
