Page 58 of A Kind Wedding: Christian & Charleigh

“Thanks.” I grinned. “Valentine’s Day is tomorrow. Do you and Gabriel have any plans?”

“We’re hitting the bar and celebrating that we don’t have to be bothered.” He sat down across from me.

I chuckled and shook my head.

“What are you getting Charleigh?” he asked.

“A few dozen roses, a box of her favorite chocolates, and a bracelet from Cartier to wear on our wedding day. I was going to wait until then to give it to her, but I figured I’d give it to her tomorrow.”

“And how do you know she hasn’t already bought a bracelet?” Grayson asked.

“Because Jillian called and said Charleigh tried it on and fell in love with it when they went shopping. She snapped a picture of it and sent it to me.”

“Why didn’t Charleigh just buy it if she loved it so much?”

“Because it cost three thousand dollars.” I smirked.

He sat and shook his head.

“What?” I asked.

“Nothing.” A smirk crossed his lips.

“You just wait.” I pointed my fork at him. “By the way, the nurses at the hospital are already talking about the new hot trauma surgeon.”

“They can talk all they want. I don’t get involved with people I work with. Been there, done that, one time, and it was the worst mistake I ever made. Lesson learned.”

I let out a chuckle.

The sliding door opened, and Aunt Barb walked in.

“Good morning, boys.” She smiled as she went over to the coffee maker.

“Morning, Aunt Barb. What are you doing here so early?” I asked.

“I’m helping Grayson move and get settled.”

“You are?” Grayson turned and looked at her.

“Of course, darling. You’ll need to get organized, and I can help with that. Tomorrow, I’ll help your brother when he moves into his house.”

“Aunt Barb, you really don’t—”

“Don’t be silly. Yes, I do. I want to help you.”

I sat there with a grin on my face as Grayson narrowed his eyes at me.

“Well, this has been fun, but I have to get to the hospital.” I patted Grayson’s back as I walked past him. “Have a good day, Aunt Barb.” I kissed her cheek.

“You too, darling. Where’s Charleigh?”

“She’s already at work. She’s working a half day and spending the rest of the day with her parents.”

“How is Gordy doing?” Aunt Barb asked.

“He’s doing good. I’ll see you two later.” I grabbed my keys and left.

I was down in the ER, checking out a patient who came in, when Nancy, one of the ER nurses, walked in.
