CHAPTER EIGHT

“SO THE PARTY is tomorrow, Bonnie, and I was wondering if you had any interest in helping me conduct some games for the children and potential parents,” Hope said over the tea she and the energetic new midwife were sharing in the hospital cafeteria. “A few other people from the hospital will be there, and some of the parents coming have other children. I thought it might be a fun way for you to meet people.”

“Sounds really nice, Hope. How sweet of you to think of me!” Bonnie smiled. “What a wonderful thing, a Christmas party to bring children together with people looking to adopt. I don’t know Dr. Cartwright, other than that he’s dreamily good-looking, but he’s now high on my list of wonderful people at CRMU.”

On Hope’s, too, but she wasn’t about to say so. Also had to stop thinking about the dreamily good-looking man. The man who wasn’t only dreamy, but an amazing doctor, a caring man. With eyes like warm fudge and a crooked smile you couldn’t help but smile back at.

How could she have fallen under the man’s spell after spending mere hours with him? Clearly she wasn’t cut out to have quick flings, if she couldn’t stop feeling all gooey about him when it was over with. Who would have known she was even capable of that?

Which instantly turned icy when she thought of her appointment this afternoon, and how she’d have to make sure she stealthily avoided Aaron Cartwright like a cat burglar while she was there. “I’ll be picking up the party agenda from his office, and you and I can see what might fit into it.”

“Could I bring my daughter, Freya?”

“I don’t see why not. She’d probably have lots of fun. How old is she?”

“Just five. But fun is her middle name, believe me.”

“Five is such an adorable age. I can’t wait to meet her. And since I’m sure you have lots of experience playing games with Freya, it’ll be wonderful to have you play with the children her age at the party, too. I’m so glad you can come.” Hope drank the last of her tea, swallowing down the sick feeling in the pit of her stomach at the thought of heading to the offices the IVF doctors shared. “Got to go. Thanks for helping. See you tomorrow.”

Hands sweating, she hurried down the hallway to meet with Dr. Devor. She
