kisser.” She moaned and closed her eyes, probably reliving the goodnight kiss she’d received from her date. “I think I’m in love,” Ashlee said dreamily.
“Really?” Taylin tried not to sound skeptical, but her sister fell in love on a regular basis.
“Yeah.” Ashlee looked over at Taylin. “I know I’ve said it before, but he’s the first guy that’s made me actually forget about Beau.”
Poor Ashlee. Beau Jacobson was their brother’s best friend and had been the drummer in Chase’s band before they disbanded and went their separate ways. Ashlee had been in love with him for as long as Taylin could remember. When Chase married Addie six years ago and moved to Idaho, Beau had left his architect firm and joined the army.
His leaving had crushed Ashlee, especially when he’d extended his four-year commitment another two years. Even though Beau was ten years older, she’d been sure once she graduated from high school, he’d finally see her as a woman, and not Chase’s little sister.
“You know Beau’s tour is almost up?” Taylin said.
“I know.”
“And you heard Chase say he’s comin’ back to Mitchel Creek to work at his firm again?”
“Yeah, but I think I’ve finally given up on ever gettin’ him to not think of me as his little sister.” Her eyes dimmed. “I’ve emailed him almost every week and every reply I get back sounds like he’s my big brother.”
“Ash, he’s thirty-four. I think he is too old for you.”
“How old is Luke?” she asked, slightly defensive.
Taylin lifted one shoulder up. “I don’t know. Probably around thirty?”
“Do you think he’s too old for you?” The tone in her voice said she wasn’t as over Beau as she claimed.
“No, but I’m not dating him.”
“But would you if he asked?”
Having never lied to her sister about a guy before, Taylin answered honestly. “Yeah, if he asked I’d say yes.”
Ashlee grinned. “I knew it!” She held up the poster board so they both could look at Luke’s picture. “Now, when are you going to dump Jared?”

L uke glanced at the clock of the hospital dining room. He only had thirty more minutes to go before the meet and greet was over. Reece leaned into his arm as she introduced him to the nurse over the hospital’s infection control.
While she made some joke about getting his flu shot, Luke’s gut tightened when Taylin walked into the room. Although he hated to admit it, he’d been looking for her all evening.
She was with another nurse he recognized from labor and delivery. The fact she wasn’t with her boyfriend shouldn’t make him so happy, but it did.
Earlier, Margaret showed him the bulletin board Taylin had completed. He’d been embarrassed, but very impressed by her creativity. She’d gone to a lot of work, adding little extras that reflected his hobbies and his home state of Montana. Thankfully, she hadn’t added anything about the movie Frozen , or his impromptu announcement about not dating co-workers.
Since his divorce, Luke realized the most likely place he’d meet a woman he wanted to date would be in the workplace or at church. It was logical, but not always practical in case things didn’t work out. So really his rule was to use discretion when deciding whether or not to date a co-worker.
With Reece discussing something work related with the infectious control director, Luke moved away from her. She’d been at his side the entire night. It was like they were a couple at a wedding reception instead of colleagues at a social reception for a new employee.
Taylin and her friend were seated at a table talking with some of the other employees from their floor. Zach, the anesthetist working today was also seated there. Luke headed in their direction. It wasn’t like he was singling Taylin out, since the people with her were his colleagues too.
“Hey, man,” Zach said. “Have a seat and I’ll buy you a drink.”
“Thanks.” Luke took a seat next to
