Carolyn hesitated and then finally said, “Did you two go on a date before I passed on your information to Jax?”

There was no reason to lie.

“We did,” she said.

“But after I told you he was willing to be set up with you?” Carolyn asked.

“That’s two questions,” she said, laughing. “You’re sneaky in your own right.”

“You froze two spots off of me,” Carolyn whined.

Since she knew it could be a little painful, she caved. “It was after you told us.”

“Phew,” Carolyn said. “So it’s still on me. I’ll pat myself on the back. You have a great day.”

“You too,” she said and watched Carolyn walk out of her exam room.

She pulled her phone out and texted Jax to share that Carolyn knew, but nothing else about how or why she saw her old teacher.

“Well,”Garrett said to Carolyn when she walked into her husband’s office.

He knew she was seeing Dillion today. Her husband was privy to all her appointments.

“Dillion and Jax are doing well. She’s in love. I can see it on her face without even asking. Oh, and I asked if they went on a date before I got them to exchange numbers and she admitted it. That’s still winning for me because she said it was after I told them they’d both agreed to it.”

Garrett frowned. “I don’t care about that. I want to know how your appointment went and what she said.”

“Oh,” she said, showing her arm to her husband. “It’s something that begins with an A. I don’t remember. I wasn’t paying all that much attention after she said she had to freeze it off.”

“It looks a lot worse,” Garrett said. “I was hoping it’s because she did something to it.”

“I had another spot on my neck,” she said, turning her head. “But she got it too. She’s sending it out for testing and fingers crossed it’s not skin cancer.”

“I hope not,” Garrett said, looking concerned and moving toward her for a hug.

“I don’t think so,” she said. “Neither did Dillion. It was almost worth it to get the information. Now I can brag that not only was I able to get the first couple to accept a blind date but that they are going strong months later.”

Her husband rolled his eyes. “I can’t believe you’re still focusing on that.”

“Hey,” she said. “It got me through. It’s all good and I was more excited to get this information anyway. Not that I would have wanted this done to get it, but she felt bad for me and let me ask two questions.”

“Only you, Carolyn,” he said, shaking his head.

“Whatever works,” she said, smiling. “And it seems I’m doing the best work of you all. Now I’ve got to call Jolene. She wanted to know how I made out at my appointment too.”

“You just want to gloat,” he said.

“I do,” she said, sitting in a chair in her husband’s office and dialing. Her sister-in-law in Charlotte picked up on the second ring.

“What did she say?” Jolene asked before she even said hi.

She explained about her appointment and then jumped right into Dillion and Jax. “Tell me I have this nailed, right?”

Jolene said. “Sounds it to me. I’m glad to hear the skin issues might not be serious. Looks like you got answers to more than one question today.”

“That’s what I said,” she said, pointing her finger at her husband who just rolled his eyes. “How are things going with Matt?”

“They are going,” Jolene said. “I don’t have a lot of reason to see Matt, but I can bug Ben.”
