One good thing about Molly’s red hair was she was easy to find in a crowd. Another—maybe not so good?—she drove him wild with need, but that was on hold as he tried to slow down his pursuit of her. Yeah, right. If that was so, why was he here? The challenge had got out of hand fast, to the point he didn’t know who was challenging who. Hopefully Molly was unaware she rocked him off his usually steady feet.

He stood watching her for a moment as she chatted with the women surrounding the table they stood at, her finger running down her cheek as she laughed over something someone said. This was a whole new Molly from the one he thought he knew in the ED. Yet the vulnerability was still there in the guarded way she stood, one shoulder slightly turned, ready to spin around if she sensed trouble approaching.

‘Hey, Molly,’ he called, a little louder than necessary, not wanting to disturb her comfort zone.

The curls flicked left then right as her head shot up and around. The smile spreading across her mouth hit him hard in the belly. ‘Hey, you, too.’ She shuffled sideways to make room for him.

Nathan stepped up beside her, happy when she leaned his way so that their arms touched. ‘Looks like you’re all celebrating.’ He nodded at the array of glasses on the table.

Her smile extended into a grin. ‘We won. Against the hardest team we have to play all season.’

‘We? You played?’ Hadn’t she said she was going to watch a game?

‘Since Coach knew me she asked if I’d fill in for the last ten minutes after one of the girls broke her wrist. Re-broke it.’

‘Why did you leave in the first place?’

Molly’s look told him to shut up, so he did, for now.

‘What Molly’s not telling you is that she scored eight points,’ one of the women said in a very loud voice.

Molly shook her head. ‘It was a team effort. Nathan, let me introduce everyone.’ She went around the table, stumbling when it came to naming the men and laughing when they teased her about her memory. ‘This is Nathan Lupton, a—a friend of mine.’ Colour filled her cheeks. ‘We work together.’

She didn’t have a definite slot to fit him into. Friend, colleague. What else? He had no answer either. ‘Can I get you a drink?’ He needed a beer, fast, before he came up with some whack-a-doo ideas and put them out there.

Molly shook her head. ‘No, thanks. I’m good.’

‘Be right back.’ Don’t go anywhere. Luck was on his side. The bar was momentarily quiet, no doubt a hiatus in a busy night. ‘Thanks, mate.’ He took his beer and handed over some cash before returning to his reason for being there.

She was toying with her glass. ‘I was struggling with fitting into the group. On court, fine. Off court, not so good.’

Nathan nodded. ‘Same as you’ve been with your workmates. I’m picking same reasons too.’

‘Yes. At least I’m doing something about it now.
