For her safety, or his? Judging by the glow in her face, probably both. He recognized the starry-eyed glaze. In his business it came with the uniform, or the helicopter. Until now there’d been no interest in what longings might lay behind the look. Dangerous. He didn’t want serious entanglements, but a gambling man might say Vivian Dane did. “Yes. How much do I owe you?”
“I only charged you overnight and X-ray fees.” Viv failed to meet his gaze as she spoke, handing out a pink receipt copy.
Was it him, or did Dr. Dane seem nervous? Yes, he was sure of it, though he didn’t know why the sudden change. “Thank you. I’ll return the pet carrier soon. Janna told me to be sure and thank you for her.”
“Please tell her it was my pleasure.”
Connor lifted the cage and stared inside at Skittles and chuckled. “Your pleasure to babysit a skunk?”
“I admit it surprised me when she pulled Skittles out of the crate. I’m basically accustomed to working with cats, dogs, birds…house birds, not the huge wild ones the Reserve brings in. I can do without those,” she said and smiled.
Her slightly crooked teeth were white against the sunrise pink of her lips, and again he wanted to taste her as the punch from her smile left him breathless. He didn’t remember her as appearing so vital and exuberant at the accident. Everyone had a bad day now and then.
Clearing his throat, he turned for the door to realize dark had set. With a glance at his watch, Connor was surprised he’d been there for the better part of half an hour. Janna was waiting at his parents’ on the other side of town. “I’m sorry I kept you so late, Dr. Dane. I’d better go.”
“Viv is fine. Bring Skittles back in a few days for a follow up.”
Connor stepped back and nodded. He didn’t know what to say as time passed and his senses returned to level ground. He escaped through the door with a last “thanks” over his shoulder, before the needles digging through his groin made contact with long dormant neurons.
Best to go get Janna home for dinner. Better to forget Vivian Dane altogether and focus his energies on the daughter he was devoted to protecting and raising.
