“That makes no difference. I’m not Amish.”
The sheriff came over to them. Tall and blond, with eyes only a shade lighter than Amber’s, he smiled at her fondly. “Hey, cuz. Can you give me any information about what happened here?”
“Hi, Nick. I can tell you what I overheard but not much else.” She relayed her story while he took notes.
After a few minutes, he put his notepad away. “Thanks. Not much chance of solving this but I’ll give it my best shot. How about you, Doc? Can you add anything?”
“Sorry, no.”
Amber said, “Dr. White, this is Nicolas Bradley, my cousin. Nick, this is Harold’s grandson. Phillip’s taking over the clinic until Harold gets back.”
The two men shook hands. Nick said, “Sorry we didn’t meet under better circumstances. Ordinarily, this is a pretty quiet place. If you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to get back to work. Amber, see you later.”
As he went to finish interviewing the witnesses, Amber turned to Phillip. “We should get to the hospital.”
Reaching out, he gently brushed some dirt from her cheek. “I should get to the hospital. You should get home.”
Her heart turned over and melted into a foolish puddle.
Don’t do this. Don’t go falling for a man who’ll be gone in a few weeks.
It was good advice. Could she follow it?
Drawing a quick breath, she forced her practical nature to the forefront. This rush of emotion was nothing more than a reaction to their working together during a crisis. It would soon fade.
With a logical explanation for her irrational feelings, Amber was able to smile and say, “Dr. White, you can’t find your way to the grocery store. How are you going to find your way to Millersburg?”
He looked as if he wanted to argue. Instead, he nodded toward his car. “Get in.”
