Refreshed after her aromatherapy session, Ellie sailed through lunch and the afternoon clinic, energy in every movement. With afternoon as the quiet time coming up, she was going to take the opportunity to catch up on her e-mails that she missed yesterday and drop a line to her mother. Several days had passed since she’d e-mailed her, and Ellie knew that her mother worried. Though her brothers were both in the same general area as their mother, they were married with kids and had busy lives that revolved around sports and summer activities for their kids. With a sigh, Ellie took her aromatherapy supplies back to her room.

When she returned, she stopped short and put her hands on her hips and looked down at the floor at an object that hadn’t been there just moments ago. “Where did you come from?”

The little baby girl sitting on the floor looked up at her. “Ga?”

“Yeah, you.” Ellie knelt down beside the baby when the screen door squeaked. She looked up, then screamed, “Vicki!” Ellie leaped to her feet to embrace her friend. “I can’t believe you’re here. Why didn’t you call?”

The baby still on the floor gave a happy squeal and flailed her arms at the excitement in the room.

“Takes that surprise factor right out of it,” Vicki said and pulled back from Ellie as Sam entered the infirmary. With another squeal the baby raised her arms to her daddy, who picked her up.

Vicki introduced Ellie to the little girl. “This is Myra. I know you’ve seen pictures, but this is the real thing.”

Sam moved closer to Vicki, then leaned over and kissed Ellie’s cheek. “Nice to see you again, Ellie.” The baby wiggled to get down, and Sam returned her to the floor with a stuffed animal that she grabbed by the nose.

“Same here.” Warmth filled her heart as she watched the family together. Joy mingled with a touch of envy in her heart. She was so happy that Vicki and Sam had worked things out between them, proving once again that good relationships could be had.

“Where’s Mark?” Sam asked and eased his arm around Vicki’s shoulders. Vicki looked up at him and the affection between them nearly filled the infirmary.

Ellie had to take half a step back, the energy nearly overwhelming her. “I’m not sure. Let me page him.” She used the phone to access the camp intercom and asked Mark to return to the infirmary. “He’s never far, so he should be here in a few minutes.”

They chatted, and Ellie knelt to eye level with the blonde, curly haired girl. “She’s just darling,” Ellie said.

“Who’s darling?” Mark asked as he entered the building from the side door.

Ellie looked up as Mark’s long strides carried him closer to her. Seeing him so full of life and energy, vibrant and masculine, an overwhelming flood of attraction hit her. “What?”

“I said, ‘Who’s darling?’” He squatted down beside them. “This little one? Where’d she come from?”

“Right here,” Sam said.

Surprise covered Mark’s face and, for an instant, she saw the boy beneath the man.
