more than I can handle and I would love to have an experienced
nurse-practitioner—especially a bilingual
one—on board in the practice.”
“You’ll have to look somewhere else for that.”
He frowned at her dismissive tone. She wouldn’t
even consider it? Stubborn little thing. “Come on,
Maggie. We worked well together today, and I don’t see
any reason we couldn’t continue the same way. Can’t
we be done with this whole Hatfield and McCoy thing?”
“It’s not that. Well, not completely that. I’m looking

“You told me, but I suppose I didn’t really believe it.
Today just showed me what a terrible mistake that

were only translating, your compassion came through
loud and clear. All the patients responded to it. Everything
I know about you and everything I saw today
proves to me you’re too good to just throw it all away
on a whim.”
