Susan Crosby – The Doctor's Pregnant Bride? / The Texas Billionaire's Baby: The Doctor's Pregnant Bride? / Baby By Surprise (страница 17)

She nodded.

Sara Beth spent what was left of the evening doing laundry, paying bills and making out a grocery list—mundane, mindless chores that allowed her thoughts to run freely, which only left her more confused. How could she fight her attraction to Ted? Should she? She admired so much about him. Respected his intelligence and dedication. And she’d spent a whole lot of time wondering what it would be like to kiss him, to touch him, to feel him touch her beyond the mostly accidental brushes so far.

As she was climbing into bed, her phone rang.

“I hope this isn’t too late,” Ted said.

“Not at all.”

“I didn’t want to bring up our personal lives at work.”

“Okay.” She prepared herself for the worst. He’d decided to keep his distance from her, keep their relationship business only. Or maybe Tricia had gotten to him. Or—

“I’d like to take you out to dinner on Saturday after we’re done at the loft. As a thank-you. Would you like to go?”

“Yes.” Maybe she should’ve hedged a little, but she was so relieved, the word just flew out.

“Okay. Thanks.”

A small pause, then, “You’re probably wondering why we left Shots.”

“A little.”

“We decided it was too noisy.”

“Really? I would’ve said it had to do with Derek.”

Silence, then, “Yeah. I get tired of defending my research to him. I’ve said over and over that a practical treatment will take time. We’re going to put a dent in it, I hope, then maybe another and another. One step at a time. Everyone needs to be realistic.”
