could be no mistaking his meaning. Amy chuckled again and shrugged. ‘Of course. I live in the biggest and the most ostentatious mansion of them all, and I do so all on my lonesome. I have nine spare bedrooms and three whole spas you can choose from. You can have one and your dog another. You can tell your father that you need to be alone to write—and you can be. You can sit and write conference notes to your heart’s content and we need never see each other. If that’s what you want.’
Of course it was what he wanted. Wasn’t it? But…that smile…

‘You make me sound like a stray puppy,’ he complained, and her smile widened.
‘That’s how you sound.’
‘Hey…’
Her grey eyes twinkled. ‘I know. Nurse subordination to doctors has never been my strong point. Dreadful, isn’t it? Are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?’

‘Um…no, I won’t reconsider,’ he told her, and she laughed. It was as if she knew what he was thinking, and the feeling was distinctly disconcerting.
‘Until two o’clock,’ she told him—and left him to make of her what he would.
