his arm. “Are you okay?”
Ty rolled his eyes then winced at the pain. “I’m fine. I don’t need to go to the doctor, you two.”
A stubborn expression crossed Jena’s face. “If Evan says you need to see a doctor, then you will go.”
“She’s just overreacting.” Ty felt the women were definitely going overboard.
“Evan’s a—”
“Um, we’d better get going,” Evan quickly said, interrupting his sister.
“Yes, no point in arguing with him,” Jena agreed. “I’ll be right back with my keys.”
When Jena returned with the keys, she said, “I’m going, too.”
Ty shook his head “No, you’re not. You have more important things to do. Like get ready for your rehearsal.”
“Are you sure?” Indecision reflected in his sister’s gaze.
Evan took the keys. “Positive. Ty’s in good hands.”
Jena cast a thankful gaze Evan’s way. “I know that for a fact. Thanks, Evan.”
Once they’d climbed in Jena’s vehicle, Evan drove straight to Dr. Shelton’s office.
Ty cast his gaze her way and noted her stiff posture as she pressed harder on the gas pedal. “Slow down, speedy. It’s not like I’m in danger of passing out on you.”
“It’s ten ‘til twelve. Dr. Shelton closes at noon on Fridays.”
Ty studied her. Yeah, they were short on time, but something else was bothering her. A few seconds ago she was concerned, but she still joked and reprimanded him. Now she seemed tense. What had caused her change of mood?

Ty walked into Dr. Shelton’s office behind Evan. While he filled out the paperwork, the doctor’s secretary said, “Hi, Evan. It’s good to see you. If you two will have a seat, Dr. Shelton will be out in a minute.”
Ty and Evan had been sitting all of a minute when a side door opened and a dark-haired woman in a long white physician’s coat walked out.
“Ty Hudson. I can’t believe it!” She looked up from her clipboard. Her surprised brown gaze locked with his.
Ty’s chest constricted. He stood and worked hard not to show any emotion as he responded in a low tone, “Lily. It’s been a long time.”
Evan stood beside him. She glanced at him in curiosity before addressing the doctor. “Hi, Lily. Ty needs stitches and probably a tetanus shot, too.”
“Come on back.” Lily smiled at him.
Ty’s stomach knotted as he started to take a step to follow her back to the exam room. Lily stopped when Evan joined him.
“You can wait out here, Evan. I can take it from here.”
Ty glanced at Evan and noted the determined set of her lips. He could tell she was about to insist on coming back with them. “I’ll be fine. Be right back,” he said.
The hurt look on her face pulled at his heart, but Ty didn’t want Evan to hear the mini-version of his past he was sure Lily would dredge up. Hell, he didn’t want to hear it either.
Once Evan walked back to sit down, Ty followed Lily through a door, past a couple of doors until they reached an empty exam room. His gaze ate up her petite, trim figure and her pitch-black hair clamped in a quick twist. She’d grown into the beautiful, sophisticated woman he’d always thought she would become.
Lily closed the exam room door behind them. “Since I’ll be working on your forehead, have a seat on the stool. When’d you last have a tetanus shot?”
“Six months ago.”
She nodded and jotted down a note on his chart. “Since your last tetanus shot was so recent, I think you’ll be fine without one.”
Ty sat down on the cushioned rolling stool and waited.
“I couldn’t believe it when I read the name on the patient’s form.” Lily washed and dried her hands then retrieved a bottle of antiseptic and cotton balls from the white, glass-doored cabinet.
“Yeah, a real shocker,” he commented. Floored was more like it. The last thing he expected was for the town’s doctor to be the woman he’d fallen in love with all those years ago. “I see you married.” He glanced at her name badge. Her
