.* * * * *A pediatric dentist’s office wasn’t the kind of place Wesley Chandler frequented, but he was doing a favor for his sister.Cheryl had brought her son, Anthony, to his appointment but she’d had an important errand to attend.She’d asked Wes to come and wait for the boy then bring him home.He’d agreed only because he adored the eight-year-old boy.One day, he’d love to have a few of his own, but finding the right woman hadn’t been easy.He’d been so absorbed in his thoughts, he wasn’t paying attention to the person walking by and heading toward the check-in desk.He did notice, though, that all of the chairs, with the exception of the one next to him, were already occupied.Wes had to check to be sure his jaw wasn’t on the floor as she walked toward him, looking for a place to sit.She was perfection personified, in his eyes, anyway.She was tall and slender, her long, wheat-blonde hair pulled back into a ponytail just above the nape of her neck, the curls falling to the middle of her back.Eyes the color of sapphires caught his for only a moment, then a voice that could only come from an angel was speaking to him.“May I sit here?”It was an odd question, he thought, because it was the only seat available.“Of course,” he said.“I won’t bite.” He hoped his smile conveyed the intended joke.She chuckled.Music could only hope to sound as delightful.“Thank you.I promise not to bite, either.” Her smile was more radiant than a hundred suns.A clean, barely floral scent wafted to his nose as she sat.It stirred things within him he never knew existed until that moment.Just then, he became aware, for the first time, that a little girl was with the woman.She seemed nervous, which was normal for a child when visiting a dentist.“You have a beautiful daughter.”Though it was mostly habit for him to compliment a person by praising their child, he truly meant it this time.The girl had sky blue eyes, light brown hair that touched her shoulders, and the roundest face he’d ever seen.She wasn’t a heavy child by any means, so her facial features stood out as if begging to be noticed.“Oh, thank you.Janie’s my niece,” the woman said.He felt the warmth in his cheeks and was sure his embarrassment showed through.“Sorry.Natural assumption.”She simply smiled in reply.“I’m waiting for my nephew.He should be ready to go any minute now.” He didn’t know what else to say.Her smile remained as she said, “Not that it’s a problem, but do you always stare at women like that?”Until then, he hadn’t been aware he was staring like he'd forgotten the muscles in his eyes worked.He cast his gaze to the floor between his feet.“My apologies.” His voice was soft and low.“It’s not often I get a chance to see such beauty up close and personal like this.”He glanced back at her and saw that her cheeks were now turning pink.“Thanks again,” she said.What was it about her voice that entranced him? Every word she spoke was the sweetest sound he’d ever heard, and he couldn’t get enough of it.“Wes Chandler,” he said, with sudden inspiration to hold out his hand to her.She grasped it and gave it a quick shake.“Kristi Lloyd.Pleased to meet you.”“I promise you, the pleasure is all mine.”He knew he was grinning, but hoped it didn’t make him look like a goofy teenager speaking with the object of his first obsession.She giggled, but all he heard was the tinkling of Heavenly bells.His nephew came out, saw him, and quickly made his way toward them.He stood as the boy approached him, and was instantly hugged around the waist.“Hi, Uncle Wes!” the child said excitedly.“Hey there!” He reached down and ruffled the boy’s dark hair.“The dentist didn’t hurt you, did he? I don’t want to knock all his teeth out, but I will if I have to,” he said jokingly.Anthony giggled.“He didn’t hurt me, Uncle Wes.”He heard Kristy try to stifle a chuckle.Reaching into the pocket of his suit jacket, he turned and handed her a business card with his cell phone number on it.“I don’t normally do this, but I’d like to take you to dinner sometime.I’m even free tonight, if you don’t have other plans.”She took the card, looked at it, and slipped it into her purse.“No promises, but I just may take you up on that.I’d have to find a babysitter for Janie, though.”“Bring her along.I’d like to get to know both of you, if that’s okay?”“Well …,” She looked uneasy about that suggestion.“I can clear it with my sister to bring Anthony along, if that’ll help you feel more at ease.”“I’ll think about it [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
