That was probably for the best.
“Martin...well, he’s busy with the bar tomorrow. A shipment is coming in. I don’t know if I should be driving on these meds.” He peered over at her, his head bowed slightly, his eyes locked with hers. “Would you mind taking me home?”

“I really appreciate this.” He grabbed his duffel bag, which Katrina reached for. Shaking his head, he added, “I’ve got this.”
“Are you sure?”
“Positive.”
“Are you all set? Do we need to wait for anyone for discharge?”
“They think they’re wheeling me out of here,” he said as he walked past her, invading her senses, making her pulse hammer.

“Oh, don’t worry about that,” the nurse said, a smile on her face. “We’re here to make all of you comfortable. Even when you don’t want to be. Isn’t that right, Lorenzo?”
This nurse was openly flirting with him.
The surge of jealousy, no matter how small or fleeting, overtook Katrina for a moment before she remembered.
She had no right to be jealous.
He’d gone on to live his life.
