âLIZZY, HONEY. STAY STILL.â Dr. Cody Brennan squatted on his heels in the hallway in front of the day-care suite to re-tie his daughterâs hair-bow. He couldnât keep his frustration out of his voice as he fumbled at forming a loop with the slick ribbon. Suturing heâd learned in medical school, not securing bows.
âDadd-yyy, it has to be right,â Lizzyâs whine echoed off the hallway built of glass.
âHey, mind if I give it a try?â a sweet-sounding feminine voice beside him asked.
Cody looked over his shoulder. Two large, sympathetic green eyes with thick dark lashes met his gaze.
âDadd-yyy,â Lizzy moaned.
Not giving him a choice, the woman moved in close. A hint of peach tickled his nose as she tugged the ribbon from his hand, hers brushing over his. With a quick side step he moved aside, giving her better access to Lizzyâs ponytail.
As if by magic Lizzy went statue still and the woman in a deft twirl of fingers secured the bow.
âThere you go,â she announced with such fanfare that she might have been giving Lizzy an award.
âThanks,â he muttered.
Lizzy pulled on his hand. âLetâs go, Daddy.â
âYou need to tell the lady thank you first.â He used his stern father voice.
âThank you.â Lizzy obeyed with uncharacteristic shyness.
âNo problem.â The woman smiled.
The beautiful upturn of her mouth captivated him. Her full lips surrounded white straight teeth, creating a unique sunbeam that pulled him toward her, making him feel good. A sensation heâd not experienced in a long time.
Lizzy tugged on his hand again. Seeing she had regained his attention, she towed him into day care. When he walked out a few minutes later he looked for the woman. There was no one in sight. Sheâd been wearing a knit top and jeans, so she must be making an early morning patient visit. Why she had grabbed his attention so, he couldnât fathom.
