Facing west lucy lennox6/23/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Spending time with West made being back in Hobie feel almost like a good diversion from my regular life. ![]() The rest of the afternoon passed easily with the hot doctor whose bedside manner was beginning to settle around me like a healing balm. “Yes please,” I said before reluctantly peeling myself out of his embrace. Nothing but the clean, fresh air blowing off the water and through the trees and the light sounds of the water lapping along the shoreline. I pictured us walking along the lakeside trail with Pippa in the stroller and how incongruous the image was with my real life. How nice it felt to spend down time with someone like West-smart, kind, happy. I thought about how easy it was to be in his company sometimes. Let’s pack up the Pipsqueak and go somewhere-maybe a walk down by the lake before I have to be on call again at the ER. Large hands rubbed up and down my spine until his strong fingers threaded into my hair. I squeezed my eyes closed and let out a breath. ![]()
