Before they reached the front door, Grace stopped and turned to face Wyatt. “I have something to ask you.”

“What’s that?”

“Just now, as we were getting ready to leave, I noticed that your place could use a little organization.”

For the first time, Wyatt realized she had never been in his office before. He knew it was out of sorts, as he tended to focus on patients and their illness more than anything else. He moved over to his desk and started straightening up. “I try to keep up on all of this, but sometimes I get behind.”

“I have a solution for that,” Grace said, coming over to stand in front of the desk. “What if I came to work for you. I can help keep everything in its place around here. Since I’m trained as a nurse, I can also help with patients when you need me to.”

“Why would you want to do all that?”

“Truthfully, I feel useless around Oak Haven. I have no training when it comes to farming, but I can work here. I can use whatever pay you’re willing to give me to help out my aunt and uncle. It’s the least I can do since they took me in.”

“I could use the help,” Wyatt conceded. “When I go visit families in their homes, it would be nice to have someone here, especially who knows medicine as well as you do.”

“Then I’m hired, Dr. Hammond?” she asked with anticipation clear in her voice.

He nodded. “You can start first thing tomorrow. Since we’ll be working together, I think you can go back to calling me Wyatt. For now, let’s go get your cousins and I can escort you to the livery.”

It was a short walk filled with pleasant conversation about the Abernathy children and Wyatt’s latest patient, that turned out to be a sick hog named Suzy. By the time they reached the square, Wyatt was wishing he had more time with Grace.

The children rushed up to them, shouting with excitement. “The gophers are back, the gophers are back.”

“One at a time, girls, one at a time,” Grace said, laughing at how they animatedly tried to tell her about the return of the infamous gophers that had wreaked havoc in the town square six months prior.

“Great, I bet the town asks the men to take shifts again to deal with the rodents,” Wyatt said, his irritation with the situation obvious from his tone and frustrated frown.

“That happened?” Grace asked, turning to face Wyatt.

He nodded. “It was cold and miserable, and I really don’t want to repeat any of it.”

“They should just let the gophers be,” Nancy whined. “They’re so cute.”

“You don’t know what you’re talking about. They eat all the grass and make holes that are unsafe,” Ida pointed out.

“Girls, stop fighting about the gophers. It’s time for us to head back to Oak Haven,” Grace said kindly. “Dr.
