be the problem, little man?” He says with a bite to his voice, almost like he was asserting authority. God damn it all. Andy keeps his head down low and steps back slowly avoiding eye contact. “Errm, never-mind. I’ll fix it later.”
    Poor Andy. I almost feel bad for him. It’s a good thing he’s so committed to his boyfriend of two years and would never cheat on him. I’m pretty sure Anna would kill him if he messed up their bowling nights with a spur of the moment sexy fling.
    Ronan laughs and walks over to the couch where Anna is sitting up at full attention, just watching his movements as he leans down and pulls out some of his medical tools from his bag.
    “Now what seems to be the problem here?” Ronan asks, keeping the tone of his voice passive when he speaks. Anna just gawks at him with her mouth hanging open, making a smile form on my face. She is so taken back by this guy, it’s unreal.
    “I…umm…I had an anxiety attack, then I collapsed onto the floor, sir,” she says barely above a whisper. I almost didn’t hear her but I guess she was so nervous around the hot luscious man, she didn’t think to raise her voice.
    “I see, okay well we’ll check you out and see what happens next.” Andy, Gwen and I step aside and let him work his magic on Anna. He checks all her vitals and makes sure everything is working properly.
    A half hour goes by and he seems to be packing up his medical bag so I take that chance to ask him what’s going on.
    “So what caused this? Why did she have the anxiety attack?”
    He just shrugged as if it was nothing. “It’s hard to say, to be honest. Stress, overwhelmed, it could be a number of things. Gwen sort of filled me in on what happened so I’m contributing it to that. I’m Ronan, by the way.” He formally introduces himself by sticking out his hand for me to shake, which I do.
    “I told Gwen to keep me in the loop in case it happens again. If it happens again, I might suggest she go to the Emergency Room.” I nod at Ronan’s suggestion. He gives one long look back to Anna and smiles before taking his leave out the office door. I’ve never seen such a man who just fills up a room as soon as he walks in the door. Once he’s gone, it’s like the room’s energy has shifted. A slight feeling of dread fills Anna’s face at his departure.
    Shaking my head of my thoughts, I walk over to the couch and sit beside Anna. “How are you feeling now?” I ask, seeing her eyes glued to the door where Ronan just walked out of.
    “I’m…fine…real fine. Who…why…oh my god.” Anna tries to gather her wits but it doesn’t work because we all bust out laughing. Even Gwen who is probably used to having women throw themselves at her brother is laughing so hard now.
    “Oh like I’ve never seen that reaction before. I knew Anna wouldn’t be immune to Ronan’s charms. This is nothing unusual for me. I get this all the time.”
    Turning back towards Anna, she has seemed to gather some of her focus back. The poor girl is still staring off into space but her eyes don’t have that glazed over look to them anymore.
    “I just don’t think I’ve ever seen somebody that muscular and hot. Oh my god, I sound like a little school girl.” Gwen snickers from across the room before disappearing out of Brooke’s office and onto the rest of the newspaper main floor. What the hell made her giggle like that?
    Anna stands up to test her balance but Andy is quick by her side, helping her stand steady, much to her disapproval. “I have it under control, Andy. I don’t need your help to walk.”
    “Shush it woman and let somebody help you for a change,” he commands making Anna shut her mouth and accept his assistance. I have to say this little tumble she took might have rattled her brain a little bit because Anna never accepts help from anybody. Allowing them to help Anna out, I step out of the way and into the rest of the office to oversee how everything was going since this
