Til? Something about the informal way he addressed her made her knees go weak. When she’d first met William, he’d seemed so rigid, but as she spent more time with him, she noticed that he saved a special part of his personality for her. No one else saw this side of Dr. Powers. She was quite certain of that.

Tillie’s heart was beating wildly in her chest. She wished it was out of worry, but it definitely was not. She could feel heat spreading in her belly as she watched William working. Rowing. No wonder he looked so strong. She’d admired his strong arms after dinner the night before when he’d taken off his suit coat and rolled up his sleeves to pour himself a nightcap. Now she was admiring his backside, which was so nicely displayed as he stood on his toes to reach up and hammer the nail into the wall.

“Clock.”

Tillie reached up to hand William the clock, and when his hand brushed over hers, her body responded with a rush of butterflies in her stomach. She wondered if he felt the heat between the two them as well.

William hung the clock and was leaning back to make sure it wasn’t crooked when his right foot slipped off the backside of the desk. Tillie was immediately jolted out of her trance, and she put her hands up to stop William from falling.

She couldn’t deny the tingles she felt flooding down her arms as her hands pressed up against his strong legs.

William tried to turn around, and Tillie realized that she was still holding his legs. “Oh! I’m so sorry,” she said, jumping back.

“Don’t apologize. You just saved my life,” William said as he climbed down from her desk. “Here I am talking about the good ol’ days at Harvard, and I nearly maim myself trying to hang a clock. You must think I’m pathetic.” He shook his head and smiled a dazzling smile that simply intensified everything Tillie was feeling. She could feel her cheeks grow even hotter.

“I’m just glad you’re all right.”

William took a step closer to Tillie, leaving only inches between them. “I wouldn’t have been, without you,” he said, grabbing her hand. “Thank you, Til.” His warm breath caressed the skin on the back of her hand as he leaned down and kissed it.

The fluttering Tillie had felt in her stomach suddenly jumped into her heart, and she briefly wondered what it would it would feel like for those lips to touch hers. She let herself fall into the fantasy of being Dr.
