When they reached the X-ray waiting room, the nurse said, “Just have a seat here. Dr. Mills will be out to get you when he can.”

“Thanks,” she said. She slid her earbuds back in. No reason to bring the Bluetooth ones and risk losing or dropping one. The ones that plugged in let everyone know what she was doing anyway with her phone in her pocket.

She barely got through one song when the sexy Carson Mills...the other Dr. Mills...came into the room where she was waiting.

“Laine Connors?” he asked.

“That’s me,” she said. “I’d raise my hand for clarification, but since I’m the only one here and you’re a doctor and all, I’m assuming you could deduce that yourself.”

He laughed like his brother had. “Hudson filled me in. He said you were funny.”

Guess the twins chatted back and forth while they were working. “Does this mean I get pushed to the top of the list to get out of here faster?”

She hated asking that. Her father would be throwing money around and she would have been out of here an hour ago.

Though she had more than enough of her own money for a comfortable life, she didn’t have her dad’s wealth. Not yet at least. But she didn’t want to think of that or how she’d end up with it.

“It’s not too busy back here,” he said. “I’ll read them right after I take them if you want to wait and keep me company. I could use some entertainment.”

“I could show how to bust a move if you want,” she said.

“Let’s just stay away from the walls,” he said. Which told her that Hudson had filled him in. Or more likely, he just read her chart like any other doctor could do.

“Trust me, I’ll be more aware of that next time. I was just going right at it. I shouldn’t have closed my eyes during the running man, and then I had to shut them when I was doing the head whip thing or I would have gotten dizzy. What I should have done was recalibrate myself before I went into the floss.”

“I’m getting a visual with everything but the floss,” he said.

She giggled. “You might look good doing it.” She stood up when he walked in. Before they moved to the X-ray room, she pulled her phone out, found a quick video and showed him.

“Oh,” he said. “Yeah. I can see how that might damage a finger.”

“There you go,” she said. “My impulsiveness celebration brought me to the ER. I should know better, but when excitement takes over, I just can’t control it.”

“I bet,” he said. His eyes were laughing at her, but there was a touch of something more going on too. She’d heard a bit about this particular Bond family member when it came to women.

She’d let it pass for now.

A little flirting never hurt anyone. Or at least she figured not much could hurt her tonight, including her pride.

VICTORY DANCE

Carson was doing his best not to stare at the woman in front of him looking like she’d gotten into a paintball war and came out on the losing end.

He supposed she should be lucky it was only her pinky that was injured.

They started to move to the other room after she showed him the video of the dance move she’d done.

If she hadn’t, his mind wouldn’t have been able to get the thought of her whipping her long blonde hair around like some ’80s music video.

Not that he was watching ’80s music videos when he was a toddler, but his mother liked to watch them years later when he was older. A teen. He’d laugh at them though some were a teenage boy’s fantasy.

It was like one was coming true right now with the thoughts of her movements that resulted in her being here.

“Is this going to hurt?” she asked when she was eying the machine.

“Nope,” he said. “I’m going to place your hand down and then it’s going to take some pictures. Don’t move it after I place it.”
