Kate wasn’t sorry either. Even though she was still convinced keeping her distance would be best for all concerned, she was enjoying her time with Joel and Chloe. The conversation moved to braces and all things orthodontic. When her stomach growled—even more loudly—Kate finally gave in and accepted a piece of their hamburger pizza.
She’d finished her first piece and had been laughing about something Chloe said when she heard her name being called from across the room.
Sarabeth Brown, one of Kate’s patients, waved wildly.
Kate swallowed a groan and waved back. That was one thing she’d quickly discovered after moving to Jackson Hole. Her pediatric patients—and their parents—were everywhere. Restaurants. Grocery stores. Gas stations. It was one reason she always liked to look her best when she went out.
Not today, she thought with a rueful smile. Today she looked … approachable.
As Sarabeth and her mother crossed the dining room, Kate hurriedly wiped her lips with a paper napkin.
“We don’t want to interrupt your meal.” Mrs. Brown offered an apologetic smile. “Sarabeth saw you and insisted on coming over to say hello.”
