Chapter 13

“Guess they didn’t send you the memo,” Ella joked. “Are you really going out with Micah?”

“Yeah.” Or at least he thought so. Hoped so. “We’re friends. Good friends. It’s sort of sprung up from that.”

Ella smiled. “Well, look at you. I remember when you didn’t even seem to like him.”

“I was very wrong. I can admit that.”

“I’m happy for you. And do yourself a favor, doc. Stay clear of Dr. Spenser.”

Linus nodded. “Definitely.”

A few hours later, Linus finally had a chance to see Micah. He smiled.

“Hey, how are you?”

Micah looked tired, but he smiled back. “Better for seeing you. Sorry I had to rush out. Had to get to my shift. And had to go home and feed the cat first.”

“I figured it was something like that.”

“I’m off in an hour. How about you?”

“Got another three.”

Micah grimaced. “Wanna come over when you’re done?”

Linus’s heart felt instantly lighter. Stupid, probably. “Yeah. Yeah, I do.”
