Olivia was going to be the end of his professional career if he couldn’t focus. He had semi-avoided her since he dropped her off at home in the wee hours of the morning the day before, only sending her a hello text the morning before. He knew he needed to get his game face on before her surgery the following day. Being close made him mindless, but now he seemed worse without her presence. She was getting close to obsession territory, something he had never experienced with a woman.“Dr. Palmer?” Petra, his nurse, popped her head in. “You’ve got a visitor.”He hadn’t been expecting anyone, but nodded to her when he saw the wide smile curving her lips. She ducked out and Olivia’s head replaced hers. “Hi.”He felt instantly giddy, rising from his desk. As she moved into his office, he saw she carried a large basket.“What’s all this?”“You work so much and I doubt you eat right. Petra told me what time you had a break today and I decided to bring you a picnic.” She smiled at him and it was like a punch to the gut.
