attentive. I knew typically a nurse would do what you
did, taking me to the radiology department and all.” Hesitating,
she took a deep breath, but kept going anyway.
    “ I’ll admit that it felt
weird at first, but then as I listened to you talk and watched you,
I knew you weren’t just being polite. The way you touched my
forehead and the way you helped me, it just seemed like it meant
more.”
    “ I’m not usually taken off
guard myself,” he began, “I was so afraid that my asking you out
would scare you. I didn’t want you to think I was some sort of
creep. Like I said, I don’t date much.”
    Robin leaned in toward Matt and rested her
arms and elbows on the table. Folding her hands, she continued
peering into his chocolate brown eyes. She studied him carefully;
his gestures, his chiseled features, his perfectly symmetrical
face.
    “ From what I see, you have
a beautiful soul Dr. Gregory. You have a great sense of humor and I
personally believe if you cannot laugh at life, then it’s
hopeless.”
    He leaned in also.
    “ Interesting perspective,
Miss Hillard,” he said pleasantly. “Are you psychic? What if I am a freak who stalks women with sprained
ankles?”
    Robin’s very deep understanding of
spirituality gave her incredible discernment. This assisted her
greatly in her job duties, but also in her personal life. However,
her discernment had come at a high price. As she continued staring
at Matt, she knew it wasn’t the right time to have a discussion
about her beliefs, so she just smiled warmly.
    “ I am a pretty good judge
of character.”
    The conviction in her tone reassured
him.
    Matt took another sip of his coffee and
receptively leaned in closer to Robin who still hadn’t sat back in
the booth.
    “ I may be going out on a
limb here,” he started, his voice even and seductive, “but there’s
a concert next Saturday night and I happen to have that night off.
I have two tickets and I wondered if you might want to go with
me.”
    “ Who’s playing?” she asked
still leaning on her elbows.
    “ It’s just a local band;
nothing big,” he shrugged. “It really doesn’t matter who is playing
because I like live music. My buddy and his girlfriend are going,
too.”
    “ I would love to
go.”
    “ Awesome, awesome” he said
smiling as he sat back in his seat. “I’ll pick you up at six?
Doesn’t start until 7:30, but we’re driving to Cincinnati, so it’ll
be an hour and fifteen minutes if traffic is good.”
    “ Sounds like a lot of fun.
Would you like to come to my next softball game to make sure that I
don’t fall and break something?” she asked humorously. “At least if
I do fall again, you’ll be there and can maybe just fix me on the
spot.”
    “ I’d love to come. When is
your next game?”
    “ We always play on Tuesday
and Thursdays nights. I’ll give you directions. We’re playing the
local police department Tuesday and that is always entertaining.
They are power freaks.”
    “ I will be there. I don’t
have to be at work until 10:00 p.m. on Tuesday.”
    “ Our games usually start
at 6 and are over by 8, sometimes earlier.”
    “ Can I take you out to a
quick dinner afterward?” he asked sweetly.
    “ We usually go out as a
group for burgers afterward. Why don’t you come with
us?”
    “ Sounds great,” he
replied. “Can I chat with you online this week? Maybe call you? You
can give me the directions to the field?”
    “ Absolutely,” she
answered.
    Two hours passed before they realized it.
The darkness under Matt’s eyes worsened as the exhaustion
manifested. Robin could see he needed to go home and sleep. So,
after exchanging email addresses and Facebook ID’s, they went their
separate ways.
    That night, before Matt went to work, Robin
chatted online with him. They constantly exchanged text messages.
Monday evening before Matt went in for his shift, they talked on
the phone.
    Robin felt excited. She loved getting to
know Matt. She enjoyed his funny
