I nodded again. “I completely understand,” I said. “It’s a process.”
“Thank you,” he said, his expression softening a little. Then he crossed his arms over his chest. He licked his lips before he started speaking again. “I think Dr. Dayleview thought I was being paranoid, but I just want her to be okay.”
“I understand,” I replied. “Well, let me examine her, but she looks like a happy, healthy little girl.”
He smiled, but he still looked crushed.
I leaned in before I could think about it. “Listen,” I said. “I don’t normally do this, but I understand your circumstances are a little different from the standard ones.”
He raised his eyebrows.
“I’m going to give you my personal phone number,” I said. “Texting me is easier if you have any questions, okay? I’m normally a little too busy to answer it. But if you think it’ll help…”
“Thank you, Doctor,” he said, smiling at me, and this time, he did look a little better. “I really appreciate that.”
“Do you have your phone?”
“Yes,” he said. He grabbed it out of his pocket and was about to hand me a phone that was so big I could hardly fit it in my hands. He unlocked it first, before he gave it to me. “Thanks again. It’s been so difficult, we had to move right after she died, and it’s… it’s been an adjustment.”
“I bet,” I said as I saw Kelly give me a look. “Okay. I’m going to examine your daughter now, alright, Mr…”
“Wilde,” he said. “But you can call me Oscar.”
I looked up at him, blinking.
“It’s okay,” he said. “I’ll let you make a joke about it, since you’re my child’s doctor and everything.”
I laughed. “I’ll refrain. Though it is curious.”
“A highly recommended doctor, and very polite,” he said. “I don’t know what else I could’ve asked for.”
“I’m very competent, Mr. Wilde,” I said, smiling at him.
“Seriously,” he replied. “Oscar is fine.”

Author’s Note
Thank you so much for reading my book.
I love writing stories about love. I think they’re beautiful and fascinating. I think there are so many facets of romance left unexplored, and I’m so grateful that you decided to read this book and spend a little bit of your time getting lost in a universe I helped create.
I say help because it would be a lie to say I’m bringing these characters to life all by myself. They already exist—it’s just my job to bring them out of my head and into the world!
I really appreciate your time and support.
If you would like to support these characters, and this deep love I have for romance, for strong, passionate women, and for sexy, sensitive and strong men, here are a few things you can do:
Leave me a review. If you want, you can leave me a review before the book is officially released. Just drop me a line at [email protected] and I will make that happen.
Connect with me on social media. I have a Facebook account and I’m bad at checking it, but I love making new friends!
