“EARTH TO GRACE.” Cameron’s hand waved in front of her face, rudely interrupting her unsettled thoughts.

Annoyed, Grace swatted his hand away. This was her lunch break—her time. Why couldn’t he see she wasn’t in the mood to talk?

Cameron lifted his hands in surrender, giving her a don’t-shoot-the-messenger look. “Just wanted to let you know that your favorite patient is here.”

Grace’s eyes widened as panicked butterflies filled her stomach. Seth’s appointment wasn’t for a couple of days, which happened to be the amount of time she needed to prepare herself to see him again. There was a reason she hadn’t answered any of his calls or texts over the past two days. She wasn’t ready to talk. Did he really think that showing up at her work, unannounced, was a good idea? Because it wasn’t. It was a horrible idea.

Grace couldn’t face him yet, not when the memory of that kiss still burned in her mind like the worst temptation ever. She now understood how some people could become alcoholics after just one drink. One kiss was all it took for her to become addicted to Seth. Maybe there was a support group she could join, consisting of all the girls who had ever experienced one of Seth’s kisses.

Grace grabbed Cameron’s arm. “Tell him I’m not here.”

Cameron stared at his wrist. “Okay, ow,” he finally said.

Grace let go of his wrist, but her gaze still bore into him. “I’m not here,” she hissed. “Got it?”

“Looks like you’re here to me,” said a deep voice behind Cameron.

Grace felt an odd mixture of relief and disappointment when she heard Alec’s voice. She glanced around Cameron and spotted her brother sitting in his wheelchair, giving her a strange look. “You did say to come today, right?” he said. “Or did I get the day wrong?”

Grace glanced at her watch as though the digital numbers would somehow make everything clear. She vaguely remembered telling Alec he could come during her lunch break, but had she meant today? Grace couldn’t remember. She shook her head, trying to clear it. “Sorry. I completely forgot.”

Alec raised an eyebrow. “Who did you think I was?”

“My thoughts exactly,” Cameron added.

Grace felt her face warm. She pushed her chair back and stood. “No one. Cameron just caught me off guard, that’s all.”

“Yeah right.” Cameron gave his head a shake, forcing his hair away from his eyes as he glanced at Alec. “I told her that her favorite patient was here, and she totally freaked out. So . . . if you’re not her favorite patient, who is?”

A slow smile spread across Alec’s face. “I think I have a pretty good idea.”

“Really? Who?” Cameron said.

Grace glared at her brother. “I don’t have a favorite patient,” she said firmly, turning her glare on Cameron. “Isn’t it your lunch break too? What are you still doing here?”

Once again, Cameron’s hands went up in surrender, as though worried she might attack. “Just being curious, that’s all. C’mon, I’ve got to know. Who is he?”

Grace brushed past him, glaring once more at Alec.
