were taking his car.
    He stopped at a relatively new Toyota. "Do you have what you need?"
    She nodded down at the bag she'd liberated from the bride's room. "I'm ready when you are."
    He opened the door for her, helping to make sure her dress was tucked inside. "Let's go to Dallas then!"
    She gave him the exact address of the park, so he could punch it into his GPS, and they were on their way.
    After the photographer had finished their wedding pictures, they went to dinner, and Heidi was amazed at the scenery from the top of Reunion Tower. "I assume you're moving in with me," he said.
    Heidi shrugged. "My apartment probably isn't big enough for two. Where do you live?"
    "Southlake," he said, naming a high dollar community north of Fort Worth. "You?"
    "Roanoke. I wasn't sure what would happen, so I'll give notice to my landlords, and we can move me." She rubbed the back of her neck. She hadn't even started packing up, and the time that would take was not in her schedule.
    "I'll hire movers to pack everything and move you."
    "Really?" She was shocked he'd even offer. Doctors usually expected nurses to not mind grunt work. As soon as the thought flitted through her mind, she forced it away. He was a man this weekend, and she was a woman. There was no doctor/nurse relationship.
    "Really. I know how busy you are. I'm happy to do anything I can to help you." He carefully navigated the busy highway toward his house as they talked.
    "Thank you!" Heidi leaned her head back against the seat. The pretty pink dress she'd put on after the photos were taken was nice, but she was ready to be back in her jeans and T-shirt, or better yet, her scrubs. She would wear scrubs all the time if she thought she could get away with it.
    "You're welcome." Slade carefully turned onto Hwy 114 to drive toward home. "Do you have everything you need for the weekend in your bag? Or should we stop by your house?"
    "I have everything I need." She thought about the sexy little nightie her coworkers had gotten her and blushed.
    "Good. I'm ready to be home."
    "Who's on call for you this weekend?"
    "I have a partner. We see each others’ patients on occasion, but not terribly often."
    Heidi nodded. "Good. So no chance of you getting called out of bed in the middle of the night?"
    "Not tonight or tomorrow night. After that, all bets are off. We try to go for our own patients when they're in labor, so there's really no time when I'm not on call."
    "I understand. The DON and I share responsibilities. She takes one weekend and I take the next. During the week we switch off as much as possible. She has a couple of kids still at home, though, so I tend to take the brunt of the overtime when I can."
    "Sounds like we're going to be two ships passing in the night."
    "Might make getting along easier," she said with a grin.
    "Probably. Absence makes the heart grow fonder—or at least gives you less time to hate each other."
    Heidi laughed. "Yeah. That's kind of what I was thinking."
    When they pulled up in front of his house, Heidi reached to the back for her bag and her dress. Slade put a hand on her arm. "You get the dress, and I'll get the bag."
    "All right." Heidi was pleased to see he was so considerate of her. It surprised her.
    He gave her a quick tour of the house, and she noted there were three bedrooms and a home office. If she ever got mad at him, she had somewhere to sleep. "You can make any changes you want. I'm not super particular when it comes to decorating."
    Heidi nodded. "All right. I'll change a few things, but probably not a ton."
    He took her to his bedroom last, waggling his eyebrows at her. "And this is where we're going to make magic happen."
    "At least I know you know your way around a woman's body," she said with a grin.
    Slade chuckled. "Better than most men for certain!"
    "I'm going to take a nice, hot bubble bath before bed. I feel hot and sticky after the pictures. What was I thinking getting pictures like that taken in August in a park in
