About the Author
Determined, Molly
pulled back out onto the road and continued around a slight curve—only to slam
on her brakes again. Now she could see why oncoming traffic had been virtually
non-existent. Judging by the array of emergency vehicles blocking all four
lanes, there had been an accident.
As a licensed physician, it was her
duty to assist when needed. Critics of her show always complained that she had
the bedside manner of dry toast, but her real skill was as a diagnostician. And
when she was working on a case everything else fell by the wayside—friends,
family, romantic relationships. She’d sacrificed everything for her patients,
and success was her reward.
A twinge of loneliness pinched her
chest before she shoved it aside. The last thing Molly needed was a
relationship. Especially since her last one had ended without warning. She
parked on the berm, cut the engine, then blinked back the unexpected sting of
tears as she walked around to the rear of the SUV.
Yes, maybe she did sometimes wish she
had someone to share her life with. But, as her father had always said when she
was a child, “Wishes are for fools. People like us seize what they want.”
Trouble was, Molly had never felt like
her father’s kind of people. Or her mother’s, for that matter. In fact there
wasn’t really a single member of her family, parents or sister, that she truly
identified with. So she’d learned early on to live inside herself and bide her
time. Now, though, it seemed she’d gotten so good at keeping her emotions
bottled up she couldn’t seem to show them at all—not even with the people she
should. People like Brian.
She shook off thoughts of her ex and
rummaged through the car for her emergency first aid kit. The pungent smell of
spruce, mixed with a faint hint of fish and salt from the inlet, snapped her to
attention.
Dressed comfortably for the nearly
seven-hour flight from Chicago to Alaska, Molly didn’t pay much attention to
her appearance— jeans, sneakers and one of her favorite T-shirts that read, “Back
Up. I’m going to try Science”—as she approached the nearby officer guarding the
perimeter of the scene.
“Dr. Molly Flynn.” She drew herself up
to her full five-foot-four-inch height and held out her hand to the middle-aged
guy. “Looks like there’s an accident ahead. Do they require assistance?”
The cop looked her up and down, his
expression dubious. “What are you, twelve?”
“Twenty-seven, actually, thanks for
asking.”
Molly adjusted her bag, undeterred. She’d
put up with plenty of crap through the years because of her gifts. She’d
graduated medical school at the ripe old age of twenty-four, with dual
specialties in Immunology and Internal Medicine, but nothing made a girl feel
less welcome and confident than having no friends and no one to sit with at the
lunch table.
“Do I have to show my physician’s
license or are you going to point me toward the scene, Officer...?”
“Bentz.” He sniffed and looked away.
“The EMTs arrived a little while ago. Pretty sure they’ve got it under
control.”
“I see.”
The man was dismissing her, but she
was used to that too. Her mother had always been present, but aloof, and when
her father had been home from performing amazing feats of surgical genius all
over the world he’d only wanted to parade Molly around like some prize show
pony instead of treating her like his beloved child.
“Molly,
solve this impossible equation.”
“Molly,
impress my friends with another feat of mental acrobatics.”
“Molly,
earn my love by always doing what you’re told, always being perfect, always performing,
no matter what.”
