“Hmm. And I thought they were off making babies in some cabin in the mountains,” she replies with a sly smirk, and I blow out a frustrated breath when I realize she’s right.
I like Camellia so far, much more than I expected, and I’m going to have a hard time staying away once Daisy and Landry start having kids of their own. Not to mention the dark-haired, tattooed beauty down the road I can’t seem to shake, even against my better judgment.
“Oh,” Tenley blurts out, snapping her fingers. “Speaking of, I’m about to start a round of Natural Family Planning classes. You should pop in for a refresher, just in case you start seeing some of our regular patients. It’ll be fun.”
“Okay,” I say, nodding. “That’s actually a good idea. Thanks.”
“I’ll remind you when it gets closer. In the meantime, give that offer some thought, pray about it, run it by the important people in your life, whatever it takes to arrive at the decision that brings you the most peace,” Tenley adds with a softer smile before she walks away.

Wth. Did you send me a gift?
Rowan
Well, good morning to you, too.
I’m doing great, thanks for asking.
How are you?
Claire
Pissed af because some weirdo bought me a robe.
Rowan
No need to send a thank you note.
Claire
I realize you were homeschooled, but you get why this is completely inappropriate, don’t you?
Rowan
I think you may be reading too much into this. It’s just a small token of gratitude for all the hospitalityyou’ve shown me.
Claire
Rowan …
You don’t send a woman lingerie unless you plan on helping her out of it.
Rowan
Well, then. Maybe I have made a slight error in judgment.
I promise my intention was to keep you covered. In fact, this is probably the most selfish gift I’ve ever given.
Claire
So you bought me a fancy designer robe to preserve my modesty? Because you want me to cover up in front of you?
Rowan
