Kate kept herself busy inside the cottage on Sunday. She took two aspirin for her headache and put on a load of washing before ironing everything with determined thoroughness. But the potent memory of Spencer's kiss continued to haunt her.

She even collected her few belongings together, as she considered giving up her position and moving on to gain some measure of peace. But, at the end of the day she finally unpacked again. Did that make her a coward?

She sat down on the couch in the lounge with a worried sigh. She had only been here for a week. The remainder of her three year contract stretched out before her.

If she did leave, this would be hard on the practice, which like all small towns would struggle to attract the right kind of qualified help in time. After a great deal of soul searching, Kate decided to remain, but to have as little to do with Spencer as possible. It was for the best, for both of them. Certainly it was the best thing for Jamie.

The idea sat uneasily in the pit of her stomach. She ate a lonely meal in front of the television and crawled into bed at an indecently early hour to toss restlessly all night.

It was a relief when Monday morning finally dawned, even if she was still awake to hear the opening chorus of birdsong. She showered and dressed before driving to the surgery with a heavy heart.

Her own unfettered response to Spencer's kiss she could put down to the wine. She had drunk more than her usual amount and it had certainly been far more potent than she was used to. It had stripped away all her inhibitions, leaving her open and vulnerable.

After Eric, her ability to understand and control her own emotional responses had been shattered. She was slowly coming to terms with the callousness of his betrayal, but she had thought herself basically incapable of responding again to any man.

Well, she thought wryly, that theory no longer held water. In fact, it leaked like a sieve!

"So, it must have been the wine." She settled for that rational explanation with a cautious measure of relief.

She wasn't in the habit of throwing herself at the nearest available man, no matter how attractive and tempting. She'd only been on a couple of dates before she first encountered Eric. And Spencer had made a definite point of saying he wasn't interested or available.

So be it. That was what she wanted, of course. She schooled her features not to reflect her state of inner turmoil before seeing her first patient of the day.
