The rapid thumping of Mac’s heart didn’t calm by the time they sat. Luke had been about to kiss her. And she had wanted it more than she’d realized. Ached for it.

Though she didn’t know him well, everything about him felt right. How could that be? She’d never been one to form quick attachments, but Luke made it easy.

She wondered if the villagers could tell what she was thinking. Of course, they didn’t know, but she couldn’t help but feel awkward, like a teenager in love. She was Doctor Mac, and she needed to get a hold of herself.

The potluck was set up as a buffet so everyone could serve themselves. There was so much food and everything looked and smelled amazing. Long, rectangular tables lined up along the walls, leaving the center of the room open for the kids to sit on blankets like they were picnicking.

“It’s hard to decide what to eat first.” Luke leaned into her.

Heat colored her cheeks, and she chastised herself for thinking about kissing Luke. She’d become hyperaware of how handsome he was and how good he smelled. She’d noticed his looks the night she’d met him at Kirima and Yutu’s house, but she’d dismissed it. Looks weren’t everything.

And denial was a girl’s best friend when seeing something she couldn’t have.

Mac spread the napkin across her lap. Luke sat beside her, close. His arm almost touched hers, and she swore she could feel the energy.

Stop it, Mac. You’re being ridiculous.

“Yes, everything looks and smells great.” She cut into a piece of meat and popped it into her mouth before she said anything she might regret later—like, “so do you.”

Oh great. A man showed her a little affection and almost kissed her, and now she was smitten. No, Mac. You don’t have time to entertain the idea of a relationship. Besides, Luke wouldn’t be in the Arctic for long. He was visiting. They both had careers that were important to them, and neither were in a position to be thinking about relationships.

Luke nodded and began eating. Mac welcomed the comfortable silence they fell into as they ate and watched the kids goof around on the blankets. The kids weren’t doing much eating.

Then again, this whole dinner was about celebrating and coming together. Being happy that Elisipie was safe. For the moment, the village was content. The low hum of conversation filled the room, and silverware clinked against plates as everyone ate. Occasionally, a laugh would punctuate the air.

It was so good to see everyone so happy. At least for the moment.

“What do you like to do when you’re not working?” Luke asked.

Startled out of her daydreaming, Mac stared at him. He didn’t look at her. Instead, he focused on his plate. Was he trying to get to know her? The way he pushed his food around with his fork told her he wasn’t used to small talk.

She dabbed at her mouth with her napkin. “This is the first time in a really long time I’m doing something other than taking care of others.
