Surprising Delight Rucas By Haley Alexis

02

On Monday Riley got her early morning cooking done then went to Lucas house and let herself in with the key he had given her she walked through the rooms alone and tried to imagine coming home every night to such emptiness How could the man survive like this

That was the problem she decided he survived and that was all he had no ties outside the hospital nothing and no one to draw him away from his work Lucas had isolated himself with his studies and his training until his life withered around him Ebeb his reason for moving to New York had to do with the patients who needed him

But Riley believed that somewhere deep inside he'd known he had to find a place to do more then just exist A place to live and her job her calling was to show him how why she should believe that after only one meeting she couldn't say love at first sight had never been part of her agenda Destiny was a concept with which she felt comfortable Life was work in progress and she intended to make her work worth while And to share it with Dr. Lucas Friar for as long as they both should live

In the following days every moment she could squeeze from her cooking schedule she spent prowling fabric shops and  furniture stores searching for the right touches that would make Lucas house a home  she read consumer Reports in bed at night to choose the best television and sound system she renewed her close acquaintance with the man at the paint and wallpaper outlet
