“Do you think Dr. Derek will let me change my cast, since he’s your boyfriend now?” Callie sat in the passenger seat, kicking her legs as she asked thousands of questions on our short trip to the hospital.

“Who said he’s my boyfriend? He’s a friend, honey. Don’t you have friends who are boys?” This was the first time she’d brought up Derek in any capacity other than a doctor since she’d caught the tail end of that kiss.

She nodded. “But I don’t kiss them, Mommy.”

From the mouths of babes, I thought with a wry grin. “It’s not as easy as painting your cast, honey. You might be stuck with this color until it’s time to come off.” And I still hadn’t decided if she would be allowed to attend the Fall Ball. I would be pulling double duty working and being Derek’s date, which left no time to look after a precocious little girl.

Callie let out a dissatisfied huff at that news and, thankfully, let the topic drop. For now.

I took advantage of the quiet, knowing it wouldn’t last long, turning my attention to the mile-long list I had to tackle before this week ended with the Fall Ball. Before I could even start thinking about food for the ball, I had two luncheons to cater, one for the Easton Chamber of Commerce in the next town over and one for a brand-new tech business that had opened on the outskirts of Tulip. Then I had to cater a lunch for a bunch of traveling businessmen convening in the business complex for a day-long conference. This week was a busy one and by the end of it, I would be exhausted and in need of a full day of sleep.

That busy schedule was exactly why I hadn’t seen Derek in almost two days, and it was also the reason I had to squeeze in an appointment to get Callie’s cast checked out. “We can’t be late, Mommy.”

Callie worried too much, so I didn’t bother telling her that Derek had promised to be free between noon and two, and since it was just past twelve-thirty, we had nothing to worry about. “We won’t be. I promise.”

That seemed to settle her enough that she tossed out random science facts for the remainder of the drive to the hospital, practically bouncing out of the car and through the automatic doors of the hospital. “Hi, nurses!” She waved to the group of blue-scrub-clad women, who waved back with big smiles for my friendly kid.

“Dr. Cahill is expecting us,” I told the nurse in the blue and green sweater with the kind brown eyes.

“I’m getting a check up on my arm,” Callie offered, raising her cast to show off before she leaned in with a whisper, “I’m hoping Dr. Derek will change my cast color.”

“A cutie like you, how could he resist?”

I sent her a grateful smile and she nodded down the hall where some of the officed were located.

“Office 1012A is where you’ll find Dr.
