We roll into the early days of summer with no news from Wendy. The anticipation keeps growing and I’m not sure how much longer I can pass the time. Parker said we should call, but I can’t bring myself to do it yet. It’s been almost three weeks since the implantation and I’m terrified to hear that it didn’t take.

I don’t think I’m prepared for that.

Pushing the double doors open, I enter For the Love of Paws. Parker had an early meeting and left before me this morning. It’s my second day back working here and everyone has been welcoming.

When I reach Shannon’s desk, she’s laughing. “Somebody’s in trouble,” she sings as she staples some papers together, not looking at me.

“Excuse me?”

She nods toward Parker’s office.

Confused, I set my purse down and walk to Parker’s office.

The clinic is split into two. The left half is the regular clinic and the right half is the emergency clinic where there are three exam rooms and two procedure rooms. With the expansion came new staff, who I get along with well.

Parker’s office is my favorite in the entire building. I helped him pick out all the furniture and artwork. He even had a built-in bookshelf and a comfortable couch put in for me so I’d never have a reason not to visit.

His office door is slightly ajar and I can hear him talking. “Yes, that’s perfect. Yeah, that would be great, and don’t forget to—. Okay, good.”

Knocking softly, I push open the door to find Parker sitting in his big black leather chair behind his almost-too-large-for-the-room cherry wood desk. He motions me in.

“Hey, I don’t mean to cut this short, but Aundrea just walked in,” he says. “Just let me know what I owe you. Thanks. You too, bye.” Hanging up, he stands and walks over. “Good morning.”

“Hi.”

He pulls me into his arms before I can even ask how he’s doing. He kisses the top of my head, then releases me.

“You do know you’re late, correct?” He looks at his watch. “Start time is 8am, Mrs. Jackson. You’re twenty-five minutes late.” His face is stern, with no signs that he’s joking, and I laugh internally.

I pout. “I’m sorry, Dr. Jackson. Please don’t write me up.”

Leaning down, his lips brush along the shell of my ear. “I’m not going to write you up; however, I don’t have a problem with showing you a little discipline.” I suck in a sharp breath. His eyes dart over my shoulder and he quickly steps away. “Now, get to work. I expect my employees to start on time.” His words come out annoyed and I can only laugh at his bossy behavior.

As I turn to walk away I hear him say softly, “We’ll discuss your discipline later, when we’re at home.” I look over my shoulder to see his wicked grin.

Shannon shakes her head when I see her. “I tried to warn you.”

“I’m not worried. That man has nothing on me.” I take my seat behind the desk next to her.
