The Lonely Hearts Club

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

Reilly’s beeper went off just as she slammed her locker, fi nally ready to leave for the night. Grimacing, she checked the readout. She’d been on call the night before and should have gone home fi rst thing in the morning. Instead she’d ended up working an extra ten hours because the ortho trauma service had a dozen cases scheduled for the day, and she knew if she didn’t stay and do some of them, the patients were likely to get bumped until the next day or even Sunday. And besides that, she hadn’t had any good reason to go home, other than to sleep, and she’d been too restless all week to do much of that. Every time she lay down and the quiet closed in around her, she thought of Liz. Funny, once Annie had occupied her thoughts in those moments between waking and slumber, but now it was Liz, and that was as disturbing as it was different. No, it was much better to work and keep all those confusing ruminations at bay.

She frowned at the four digit number. It was the phone at the security station in the lobby. A visitor? Her heart rate soared. Liz. She grabbed the wall phone and punched in the extension.

“Danvers,” Reilly said immediately, before the caller had even fi nished saying hello.

“Reilly? It’s Parker.”

Reilly swallowed her disappointment. “Hey. How’re you doing?”

“I just had my follow-up appointment. All systems go.”

“That’s great.”

“Listen, how about I buy you dinner? I owe you a lot more than that, but hey—it’s a start.”

“You don’t owe me anything,” Reilly said. “I appreciate the offer, but…”

“You got a game tonight?”

“No, Sunday.”
