“I haven’t had a chance. I saw that woman today from the bar.” I stared at my brother and cousins.

“Where at?” Christian asked.

“The medical center. When I approached her and said hi, she acted like we’d never met. Then she told me she would remember if we had and that I must have her confused with someone else.”

“Damn.” Simon chuckled. “Even we never took it that far.”

“What did you say when she said that?” Gabriel asked.

“I couldn’t say anything. She walked away and into Charlotte’s practice.”

“She’s a patient of Charlotte’s?” Simon climbed out of the pool and wrapped a towel around his waist.

“I told him he dodged a bullet with that one and to forget about her,” Conner said as he stole Christian’s beer and took a sip.

Christian grabbed it from him. “No baby, no beer.” His brow arched.

“Wow, bro. Your uncle is so mean to your daddy, Isabella.”

“For fuck’s sake. Give her to me.” Christian reached over, took her, and we all laughed.

“I agree with Conner about dodging a bullet. Ask Charlotte about her,” Simon said as he sat down.

“Charlotte can’t say a word about her,” I said.

I glanced over and saw Charlotte heading toward us.

“Do not let that woman take my baby.” Conner sternly looked at his brother.

“I heard that Conner.” Charlotte walked over. “It’s our bath time, and I need your help.” A smirk crossed her lips.

“Give me my baby, bro.” Conner quickly stood up.

“Hey, Charlotte,” Simon said. “Grayson slept with one of your patients, and not only is she pretending it didn’t happen, but she’s also insisting they never even met. What’s up with her?”

“Douchebag.” I reached over and slapped the back of his head.

Charlotte stared at me momentarily, and I knew she knew exactly what Simon was talking about. She walked over, leaned down, and sniffed my neck.

“What are you doing, Charlotte?” Conner’s brows furrowed.

“Nothing. Let’s go, Conner.”

“What the fuck.” Simon laughed. “What was that all about?”

I shook my head as I tipped the beer bottle to my lips.

One Week Later

“Hey, Dr. Kind.” Vera, one of the nurses, flirtatiously smiled as she walked over to me.

“Hi, Vera.” I glanced at her.

“So, I was thinking that I could buy you a drink after our shift ends.” She chewed the bottom of her lip.

“That’s sweet of you, but can I let you in on a little secret?”
