“Tools are too delicate.” Drake held up his massive hands.
“Plastic surgery. Your logo can be, Get done by the god,” Conner said.
“That’s what I do, idiot.”
“Oh yeah, that’s lame. Emergency is where it’s at: broken bones, life-and-death injuries. Those doctors are high-speed adrenaline junkies. You could move back and get away from all those fake people in LA,” Connor said.
Drake nodded. “Yeah, but you know who else works in emergency at Mercy?”
Finn piped up, “My teammate works in emergency, but who else?”
“Miss Margo Monroe,” Drake said.
“Damn. Well, you could go to a different hospital,” Finn said.
“Or you could settle that score with her,” Conner said.
Drake forced a smile, even though just saying her name made his stomach twist into knots. He wasn’t about to admit he’d kissed her at the event the night before. It was best if he stayed far away from Margo. Even now, the memory had his heart pounding, and his interest flared.
“Did someone say Margo Monroe?” Hannah said as she settled on Connor’s lap.
Drake groaned.
“Yes, dearest.” Conner pretended to spit off to the side. “But we don’t say that name.”
“Why not? Margo is fantastic. I saw her save a kid’s life this week—” Drake groaned.
“Did I say something wrong?” she asked.
Finn laughed, and Connor kissed her nose.
“No, my cousin just has some unfinished business with Margo,” Conner said.
“Well, he looks annoyed, so maybe you should change the subject.”
“Probably for the best,” Drake said.
Connor took a sip of his beer while he held his hand up, counting down on his fingers.
“What unfinished business?” Hannah asked.
“I’m glad you asked, babe. Once upon a time, Drake and Margo dated.”
“They did?” Interest was written all over her face.
“Yep,” Finn replied.
“What happened?”
“They were high school sweethearts, then dated for four years while attending George Mason, and both got into the same medical school across the country in California.”
“Wow.” Hannah’s eyes looked sad. “But there was no happy ending?”
“Nope, Margo broke Drake’s heart when she dumped him and went to school here instead of going with him to Cali.”
“There must be more to it than that,” she said, squinting her eyes on Drake. “Did you cheat?”
“No. I was beyond obsessed with Margo. She just had a change of heart, said it was too far from home, and stayed here.”
