On their way home, Alexis happily chattered about her lunch with the girls. “How did you like the vegan place?”

“It was amazing! I had eggplant parmesan, and I have never eaten better. I will drive you every time for the opportunity to eat at that amazing restaurant,” Dirk told her.

“Works for me. I don’t think I realized just how lonely this drive was until today. You made it so much better.”

He didn’t take his eyes from the road, but he did grin. “I’m glad. I like to drive, and I like to know you’re safe, so I’ll feel better making the drive anyway.”

“You should pull over somewhere so we can kiss.”

“I keep telling you. We have a bed for that!”

“Just because I kiss you doesn’t mean I want to jump your bones. Sometimes I just like to kiss you.”

He let out a low chuckle and she smiled, feeling as if she was doing her job properly. “Your colorful phrases do have a way of getting to me.”

She shrugged. “Colorful phrases are what I’m all about!”

They stopped for supper as soon as they got back to Albuquerque. “You don’t want to cook, do you?” he asked as he pulled into the parking lot of a pizza place. “I feel like pizza tonight.”

“Me too!” She jumped out of the car. “Let’s each get our own so your yucky veggies don’t touch my side.”

“I don’t want your yucky meats to touch my side!” He wrapped his arm around her shoulders walking toward the door. He never would have thought they’d have figured out how to co-exist so easily in just two weeks. Maybe Dr. Lachele hadn’t lost her mind after all.

Once they were sitting together in a small booth, the waitress approached the table. “Hi, Dr. Blanton.” She did a double take. “Alexis? You two know each other?”

Alexis smiled at her client she had seen just the day before. “We got married two weeks ago today.”

Jessica stared at them. “Really? I would never have put you two together.” She looked back and forth between them as if they’d totally lost their minds. “Seriously, how did this happen?”

“Opposites attract,” Alexis said with a smile. She had a feeling that Dirk would feel as if his reputation was totally shattered if she admitted they’d been introduced at the altar.

“I guess…” Jessica shook her head. “Okay, let’s talk food. What do you want?”

Dirk answered for both of them. “We want to share an order of cheesy garlic bread, and then I’d like a medium veggie pizza. Put every veggie you can find on it. She would like a medium meat pizza.”

“No anchovies!” Alexis put in.

“To drink?” Jessica asked, still seeming a bit dazed by seeing the two of them together.

“I’d like a Coke,” Alexis said. She knew Dirk wouldn’t approve, but she didn’t care.

“I’d like water.” Dirk looked at his student, wondering why she was so shocked he could be with a beautiful, fun-loving woman like Alexis. Was he really so different? Small children didn’t run in the other direction when they saw him.
