Parker glanced at his watch. It was quitting time.

He had enjoyed working the night shift with Sebrina and another doctor named Carla Burns. The three of them had been kept busy, but thankfully, there had only been one emergency to resolve. Other than that, the night had gone smoothly.

Parker liked Ravene—she was highly efficient. But then, he’d found that to be a common attribute among all the nurses he had been blessed to work with over the years. And that was why, when Rosemary Nestor had complained about the nurses at the hospital, he had set her straight.

“Ready?”

The corners of his lips curved into a smile when he turned and saw Sebrina. His gaze took her in, from head to toe. Even in a lab coat, she was beautiful. It had only taken one night of working with her to know what Mr. Miller and her cousin Rae’jean had said was true. She was an exceptional doctor. She had a way with her patients that was seldom seen among doctors of her caliber. And he noticed everyone she worked with treated her with the utmost respect. She never talked down to anyone, no matter who that person was. He’d even witnessed her getting a smile from the night janitor. Parker believed you could tell a lot about a person’s character by the respect they received.

It was quite obvious that like Parker, she loved being a doctor…and was very good at it.

“Yes, I’m ready. I’m also hungry. What about you?” he asked, walking beside her toward the elevator. It was the changing of the shifts and they were getting attention. He didn’t mind, and it seemed she didn’t either.

“I’ve never had what one would consider a hearty appetite,” she said. “Except for when it comes to ice cream.”

He grinned as they stepped on the elevator and was glad it was empty. “Is that why the freezer is loaded with butter-pecan ice cream?”

“Guilty as charged. I know you went grocery shopping. Between the ice cream and microwave dinners, I apologize for taking up so much of the freezer space. I can rearrange things.”

“No problem. I managed to get all my stuff in.” When the elevator came to the ground floor, they stepped out, and he turned to her. “I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed working with your crew last night.”

“And we enjoyed having you.”

“Thanks.”

They had just walked out the building when he heard his name being called. He cringed, recognizing that annoying voice. But good manners insisted he acknowledge her, even if he didn’t want to. “Good morning, Rosemary.”

“Good morning, Parker. You’re headed the wrong way, aren’t you?”

Before he could response, Sebrina added, “Good morning, Rosemary.”

Parker figured Sebrina was showing she had class, even if Rosemary didn’t. It hadn’t gone unnoticed that Rosemary hadn’t acknowledged her presence.

“Good morning, Dr. Bennett,” she said, then quickly returned her full attention to Parker.

Parker couldn’t help noticing that although Sebrina had referred to Rosemary by her given name, the other woman had referred to Sebrina by her professional one.
