Cindy Kirk – The M.D.'s Unexpected Family (страница 10)

“Cassidy. What are you doing here?”

For a second she thought she’d conjured up Tim’s image. She blinked once. Blinked again. Huh, still there.

Despite the “have a happy life” bouquet of flowers brush-off, she was genuinely pleased to see him. Even with sweat beading his brow and that lean, muscular body clad in gray gym shorts and a faded green T-shirt, he looked amazing.

He stared at her expectantly and she realized he’d asked a question. Frazzled, she tried to recall what it was. Oh, yes, something about not expecting to see her here. “I came for the book club. What about you?”

“Basketball.” He wiped the perspiration from his forehead with the back of his hand. “And it gives the girls a chance to play with some of their friends.”

“Esther and Ellyn are here?”

“Downstairs.” He smiled, the way he always did when mentioning his daughters. “We’ll stay for dinner then head out.”

“Thanks again for the flowers.” Cassidy decided she might as well get the niceties out of the way. She’d called last night to thank him personally, but had been forced to leave a message when she’d reached his voice mail. “They were beautiful.”

“I had a great time.” He rocked back on his sneakers, looking suddenly uncomfortable. “I’d have suggested we see each other again but—”

“Hey, it was a one-night thing.” Cassidy waved a hand. “It—”

“One-night thing.” Dr. Travis Fisher appeared out of nowhere, as if conjured up by a magician’s wand.

A tall, lanky man with sandy-colored hair, Travis always held a mischievous gleam in his eyes. Despite being a father of five and a respected doctor in the largest OB practice in the region, Travis had a playful, approachable side that Cassidy found refreshing in someone so prominent.

Travis crossed his arms, looking decidedly un-doctor-like in his sweaty gym clothes. His gaze slid expectantly from Tim to her. “Details are necessary for absolution. Confess to Father Travis, my children.”

Cassidy rolled her eyes. “Sorry to disappoint, Father Travis. Tim and I simply attended Old West Days together. A bachelor-auction date, hence the one-night-thing.”

“I heard you’d purchased my partner.” Travis’s lips turned down in mock sorrow as he glanced from her to Tim and back again. “Perhaps next year, you’ll do better with your money.”
