`` for the last time , you have nothing to be embarrassed about . ''
`` sorry , but that does not make me feel any better , '' she grumbled .
`` what can i do to put you at ease about working with me ? ''
rubbing her now aching head , she replied , `` i do n't know .
if i thought it would n't make me look bad , i 'd request a transfer . ''
`` i offend you that much ? ''
pesh asked .
as she gazed up at him , his expression was wounded .
`` no , no , you do n't offend me .
it 's just that ... '' she chewed mercilessly on her bottom lip before she continued .
after taking a ragged breath , she replied , `` it 's just that for the past two years , i had pretty good control of my life .
the night i was with you , i let all that control crumble .
by getting drunk , i became someone else-someone i used to be .
the girl , or woman , who would do anything to get a man 's attention .
i do n't like that person very much , and i do n't ever want to go back there .
seeing you just makes me remember all of that . ''
megan could n't help being surprised by how honest she 'd been able to be with him .
pesh remained silent for a moment .
his dark eyes bore into hers .
`` i am sorry that you reflect so negatively on the night we were together .
for me , it was not marred by drinking or you getting sick .
i enjoyed spending time with you and getting to know you . ''
he swallowed hard .
`` i enjoyed waking up with you .
i would give anything for you to be able to look at me without having to feel bad about yourself . ''
`` you really enjoyed being with me that night ? ''
he nodded .
`` when i told you i wanted to see you again , i was serious . ''
she sighed .
`` that 's very sweet of you , but i have n't changed my mind about dating . ''
`` you have n't ? ''
with a shake of her head , she replied , `` i have too much going on in my life right now to get involved with someone .
it would n't be fair to them ... to you .
especially since we still want very different things from each other . ''
`` i see , '' he replied .
megan noticed the sadness that darkened his expression .
`` i 'm sorry , '' she murmured .
`` you have nothing to regret .
any grief i 'm experiencing is once again my fault . ''
he gave her a rueful smile .
`` i seem to keep falling for women who are n't meant for me . ''
she sucked in a harsh breath at his words .
`` falling ?
you are ... you were falling for me ? ''
pesh opened his mouth to reply , but at the sound of kristi coming back from the break room , he shut it .
closing the gap between them , he whispered , `` do n't worry about working with me , megan .
we 'll always be friends , and i will respect your wishes and your distance . ''
for some reason , his words had the opposite effect they should have , and regret ricocheted through her .
finally , she managed to say , `` thank you .
i appreciate that . ''
with a smile , he then turned and walked away .
she heaved a painful breath as kristi walked up to her .
`` such a sweetheart , is n't he ? ''
`` yes , he is , '' megan murmured .
`` not bad on the eyes either . ''
a nervous giggle escaped megan 's lips .
`` no , he 's not . ''
`` i swear that half of the women here in the er act like they 're in heat whenever he comes around . ''
kristi fanned herself .
`` i mean , that body , those eyes , and those dimples .
lord , if i was n't a happily married woman , what i would n't want to do to that man ! ''
megan knew exactly what kristi meant .
unfortunately , she was never going to get the chance to experience it for herself .
somehow she 'd managed to find the only man left in the world who would n't partake in just a sexual relationship .
no , pesh had to want more than she was willing to give .
`` did you hear what i said ? ''
kristi asked .
megan snapped her gaze from pesh 's retreating form back to face kristi .
`` i 'm sorry what ? ''
kristi laughed .
`` oh no , i 'm about to lose another one to dr. nadeen 's charms , huh ? ''
shaking her head wildly , megan replied , `` no , no , we 're just friends-i do n't feel anything like that for him . ''
kristi winked .
`` yeah , just keep telling yourself that , honey . ''
chapter eight as pesh exited one of the exam rooms , he saw megan sitting on a stool at the counter , working on a chart .
when the door shut behind him , she jerked her head up and caught him staring .
he cleared his throat and walked over to her .
`` hello , '' he said , pleasantly .
`` hi . ''
`` so , are you settling in ? ''
she nodded .
`` everyone has been so nice and helpful . ''
`` good .
i 'm glad to hear that .
we usually have very good success rates with our clinical candidates . ''
megan smiled before her head dipped back down to work on the chart .
nervously , he scratched the back of his neck .
things were rolling along with them now that he knew he should n't try to rock the boat .
after all , he had promised her he would keep his distance .
but he could n't help himself .
in the two months since their first encounter , he had n't stopped thinking about her .
now that she had shown back up in his life so out of the blue , he could n't help feeling that it was fated .
ask her to dinner , his mind shouted .
he bit down on his lip to keep the question he was burning to ask from escaping his mouth .
finally , it rushed forth before he could stop himself .
`` why do n't you let me buy you dinner after work ? ''
megan 's scribbling pen stilled on the chart .
she glanced up and cocked her head at him .
`` dinner implies a date , and i thought we were clear on that . ''
he gave her a nervous smile .

`` for the last time , you have nothing to be embarrassed about . ''

`` sorry , but that does not make me feel any better , '' she grumbled .

`` what can i do to put you at ease about working with me ? ''
