Jon whistled as he waited at the hotel front desk, the concierge grinning as she recognized the tune. He’d started a Disney binge the night before, starting with the first—Snow White—and the song had been stuck in his head since.

“Okay, Dr. Bateman,” she said, her nails clacking against the marble countertop as she slid two keycards toward him, “you’re all set in one of our newly renovated luxury business suites in the North Tower.”

“Quite the mouthful of a room,” he joked. She didn’t seem amused.

“Take the first left,” she continued, gesturing with her entire hand. Obviously, she’d been trained not to point. “The elevators will be on your right. To get to your floor, wave your room key over the panel.”

“Fancy.”

She forced a smile through the annoyance showing in her overly done-up eyes. “Only the best for the doctors.”

Jon grabbed the handle on his duffel and slung it over his shoulder. Either she hated doctors, or she was having an off day, and he wasn’t going to sweat it, especially if he had an entire week of staying at the place.

The hotel was clean and sparkling, the lights reflecting off each and every creamy surface as he made his way to the elevators—not exactly the scene at hotels he was used to. He was an under-sixty-bucks-a-night kinda guy whenever he did the vacation thing.

A bar and lounge was set off to his right, decorated with all sorts of Halloween props. Glittery spiderwebs wove in and out of the checkered wood paneling above the lounge area. Black and orange bulbs lit up behind the bar, and the scariest mechanical clown he’d ever scene guarded the beer taps. He assumed that’d be the place to be after a long day of seminars and lectures. He wasn’t a huge fan of crowds, but in the back of his mind, he wondered if the setting might make Cassidy nostalgic, and he’d get another shot with her.

He slammed his eyes shut and shook his head. He couldn’t keep going back to her when she clearly wasn’t ready for what he wanted. Word around the office was that she dated someone new almost nightly, and it wasn’t like he could blame her; she was young and beautiful, probably living it up like everyone else in their twenties. Jon had skipped that period of his life for homework and residency.

But man had she mixed a cocktail of gorgeous imagery in his mind of futures and families and things that should not be there after only one night.

He waved the keycard over the panel on the elevator a few times like an idiot before a beep sounded overhead, and the doors eased shut.

“Hold it!” a familiar voice shouted from the lobby. Jon shot his hand and foot in the way, smiling as a rushed-looking Nat slipped inside. “Fancy seeing you here,” she joked, breathless and adjusting her Thomas Rhett concert t-shirt. It was odd seeing the midwife out of her usual scrubs and lab coat.

“They put you up in one of the suites, too?” he asked, his voice cut off by her derisive snort.
