Patt Marr - The Doctor's Bride

“No! I’ve tried to tell Dad, but he’s just obsessed with Zack becoming part of our family. He’s never gotten angry with me before, but I’ve seen how he gets with you. You can take it, but I don’t have your courage.”

Courage? It was more like she’d had no choice. Dad could lose his temper with her any time, any place, and she’d never known when it was coming.

“Carmen, I can pray that Dad takes the news calmly, but that’s a very big prayer. I’ll need your help with that one.”

The corners of Carmen’s mouth twitched. “You’re probably right. Tell me what to say.”

Chloe laughed out loud. “To begin with, you don’t need a script. When I talked to the Lord while I was getting dressed—“

“You did that?” Carmen sounded shocked.

Chloe nodded. “I asked the Lord to keep my head straight tonight. Since neither you nor Cate fell for Zack, there’s no reason to think I will, but he was all I could think about this afternoon.”

“And what’s wrong with that?”

“Everything. Nothing. It just makes me nervous to be this interested in a guy.”

Carmen grinned knowingly. “You could always try praying that away.”
