W ELL, THIS IS UNEXPECTED—Beau sleeping at my house. Perhaps even in my bed. With me. Drew warned me not to try anything with her, but if I know she’s naked, soaking in a tub somewhere in my house, I don’t think I’ll be able to help it. Ever since Beau came back into my life, I’ve been reliving our night in New York.

Yeah, I thought the fact that she’s pregnant with a donor’s baby would’ve put me off, but it hasn’t. Not even a little. Not to mention the woman vomited in front of me, and I still think she’s incredibly sexy. Sure, I’m a doctor but vomit is the opposite of hot.

Then again, based on the way she’s looking at me with that crooked smile, maybe I should heed Drew’s advice.

“Okay, Mr. Donovan—”

“David. You can call me David, Doc,” Mr. Donovan, I mean, David says. At least one of them is warming up to me. Beau’s been jumpy and standoffish today.

“Well, David. You’re doing great. I’ve got another procedure scheduled soon, so I’ll be back to check on you later today.” I send a nod to both Beau and Kate. “I’ll see you both later too.”

“Hey, Mick!” Beau calls.

“Yes?” I turn back in the doorway.

Her brow wrinkles as she drags her feet over, her flat shoes scrape across the floor. There’s a deep look of concern in her eyes. “Can I talk to you?”

The heavy expression on her face weighs on my gut. Whatever she wants to talk to me about doesn’t bode well. “Sure.” I wave for her to follow me into the hallway and lean against the wall a few feet away from David’s room.

Beau glances around the starkly lit corridor as a nurse in green scrubs whizzes by, shoes squeaking with every step as if they’ve been immersed in water. “Can we go somewhere we can be alone?” Maybe this conversation isn’t bad at all. Maybe she doesn’t really want to talk. “Outside, perhaps? I could use some fresh air.”

Somewhere we can be alone but not “alone.” “All right. Fresh air sounds good. It’s not too cold. About ten degrees.” I start down the hall for the stairwell.

“Ten degrees! That’s freezing.”

“Celsius,” I offer, looking back as she follows two steps behind me. Her arms are folded tightly over her chest like she’s bracing herself for the “freezing” weather.

“Oh, right. So that’s . . .”

“Fifty degrees Fahrenheit.”

“Well, that’s still freezing where I come from,” Beau grumbles.

My feet land on the second-floor landing, and I glance back at Beau who’s doing her best to keep up. There’s not much time before my next surgery. “It’s a lot warmer in the stairwell. We can talk here.” For whatever reason, the anticipation of what she’s about to say is killing me. Probably because it’s her.

A door slams, echoing down the stairs, followed by someone’s clunky footsteps. Beau hangs onto the rail and looks up. “I think outside would be better.”

I shrug, keeping focused on the next set of stairs. “All right.
