DIVORCED, BUT SPOILED BY MY FIVE BROTHERS
"That's very kind. I'll see you next week."
After he left, I sat back in my chair with a sigh. Edward's interest was flattering, I supposed, but also concerning. I wasn't ready for any kind of relationship—not after Rowan, not after everything I'd been through. And even if I were, dating a patient would be completely unprofessional.
Still, a small voice whispered in my head, it felt good to be seen that way.
I shook the thought away. Edward was vulnerable right now, still grieving. His attachment to me was part of his healing process, nothing more. I would need to maintain clear boundaries going forward.
