“This isn’t how I pictured this.” This in a low voice as he smeared medication all over her arms.

“You’re blind to the erotic qualities of calamine lotion, Dr. Baker?”

He snorted. True to his word, he’d returned within the hour in time to hand her a robe, politely look away as she dropped the towel to slip into it, then got her to sit down and briskly rubbed her hair with another towel. After she’d gone to the bathroom to comb out the mess he made, he politely hectored her into downing a couple of Benadryl, gave her sugared ginger to chew on

(Where the hell did he find that? And where has it been all my life? It’s roughly a zillion times better than Pepto!)

and then got out the calamine lotion.

He cleared his throat as he dabbed more lotion until she looked like someone with vitiligo. And not someone beautifully cool, like Winnie Harlow. More like Michael Jackson just before the autopsy. “I … think about you all the time.”

“Yeah? Well, I definitely haven’t thought of you more than several times an hour for the last few days, so don’t get your hopes up.”

He smiled and dabbed.

“Like what?” she persisted. “When you think of me?”

“I think about the night we met.” Dab. “And about what it might have been like…” Dab-dab. Dab. “… if you’d invited me up that first night.”

She could feel her face getting warm, because she’d be lying if she claimed the thought hadn’t crossed her mind, either. “Well. It wouldn’t be like this. I’m pretty sure. Is the calamine doing anything for you?”

“Not really,” he confessed, and they both giggled.
