"I don't have to be at the hospital for a few hours. Where do you usually go for mice?" Tess asked, wheeling the cart toward the edge of the aisle to peek around to see what's in the next aisle over.
(I'm crying laughing at this meme!) "It is a sponge, drenched with the power of SATAN."
‘Yeah, but it’s also a sponge that gets off even the mess from my cooking,’ Seth responds with a grin, dropping the pack of four into his over-the-arm basket. ‘Try it,’ he continues just before picking another one off the shelf for Tessand hovering that hand over her shopping cart.

[Text] I think the main ones who understood it were the interns and residents. The older doctors and nurses just gave me weird looks.

Accents were nothing new to Tessa. Her father's . . . connections . . . had come from all over the world and when Ollie was angry, even Irish folks couldn't make out what he was saying. This one, however, was new, though understandable, and she was tempted to ask where it came from, but she held that one back.
"Sharkdog, huh? Well, he seems nice," she said, giving Patch more pats while he was close enough.
“Pleaze don’t touch me.”
Tess took a step back, holding her hands up where the man could see them.
“Sorry. Are-are you OK?”

Tess took the offered hand. "Tessa. Tess. Whichever. Nice to meet you. I think Rion looks after me sometimes. He got up to get a drink last night and told me to go to bed."
Her mind was starting to calm down. Ulric didn't seem to mind that she was parenting a child that wasn't originally part of her world. She'd be lying if she said a part of her wasn't living in fear that someone like Rion would try to take him away from her, papers or no. It was the same part that was terrified he might choose to live with those who looked like him. If that was his choice and she was confident the family he wanted to live with was a good one, she would let him go, let him be happy, but she knew it would hurt like hell.
“Oh shit. I didn’t mean to trip you, I’m sorry.”
It wasn’t often that Tess fell, so she was more surprised than hurt. Her knees had hit the floor pretty hard, though, and she knew she’d be feeling that for a few days.
“It’s not all you,” she said, pushing herself to her knees. “I should have been looking where I was …” Then she got a look at who was speaking to her and saw a very familiar face. “… going.”

[Text] That vine you sent the other day arrived when I was in surgery. The nurse who checked my phone for me accidentally hit play. That was quite a choice for the moment. Really set the mood.

Tess resisted the urge to jerk her hand away at the sight and feel of the tongue. 'Just pretend it's a Labrador giving kisses,' she told herself.
"Well, nice to meet you, Patches." She looked back up at the man she'd bumped into. "Can I ask . . . What is he? I've never seen a shark with legs before."
“Pleaze don’t touch me.”
Tess took a step back, holding her hands up where the man could see them.

"Can you even get those here?" Tess asked, both hands pushing the cart forward. "Or are we going hunting where they store the surplus food?"
(I'm crying laughing at this meme!) "It is a sponge, drenched with the power of SATAN."

This is it, Tess thought. It's got to happen sometime.
"My, uh, my son is one of you guys," she stammered, her mouth dry with nerves. "He looks just like you. You have different eyes, but the rest is . . . Well, we ran into each other this past winter and we've been together since. Minion makes three."
Was that too awkward? Where did "makes three" come from? Gah, please don't let this be a mistake!

Tess knelt down in front of the strange creature and offered her hand for a sniff, as though he were a dog. If she'd taken more time to think about what she was doing, she probably would have thought twice about offering her hand to something with so many teeth, but he seemed friendly and that face was hard to resist.
She rubbed the snout, grinning wider at the pleased reaction. "Hey, handsome! What's your name?"
“Pleaze don’t touch me.”
Tess took a step back, holding her hands up where the man could see them.

Tess stands and reaches for his cup. "More cayenne, it is, then."
"What can I say? I'm a fountain of wisdom."
‘Yeah, but…’ Making an uncertain face, Seth eyes the drink Tess had talked him into ordering. Even if he did enjoy spice-heat, this was weird even for him. ‘Chili powder in coffee? You sure this’s a good idea?’

Tess shrugs. "You're the dad. You know her best."
Tess had once brought up the idea of getting a lizard or other reptile as a teen and Marie had roundly forbidden it, even when the boys lent their voices to the begging. Dogs and cats and maybe fish were the only animals she was letting into her house, thank you very much. Tess had dragged friends or her brothers to the mall to look at the more exotic pets at the pet store and even toyed with getting a gecko in college, but she knew she'd barely see any pet with the rigors of med school, internship and residency.
"What's next?"
(I'm crying laughing at this meme!) "It is a sponge, drenched with the power of SATAN."
‘Yeah, but it’s also a sponge that gets off even the mess from my cooking,’ Seth responds with a grin, dropping the pack of four into his over-the-arm basket. ‘Try it,’ he continues just before picking another one off the shelf for Tessand hovering that hand over her shopping cart.

[It was dark liquid in a coffee pot in the residents' lounge, so I can only guess.]
[The coffee cart is closed until 7. I miss it so much.]

[A girl can dream, right? I’ll be better after I go home in four hours and sleep. You should nap for half an hour or so at some point. It’ll help with memory.]
[Yeah, but that dream might not be coming true.]
Didn’t mean she couldn’t wish for it, though, and as soon as he hits send Seth feels guilty over the way it had been phrased.
[I will after I finish this chapter.]
[I have vodka or Bailey’s at home if I need it. It’s all good. Takes that burden off of Hubert. It might be an interesting business opportunity, though 😜]
[So don’t fill it all the way to the top, then?]
Even with Seth knowing he wouldn’t have to worry about her complaining, asking beforehand was the better idea anyway.
