crazy around here with the cancelation of our retreat.” Rachel clasped her hands together. “Do you want me to set y’all up? I’ve been dying to get him out on a date.”
    “I told you I’m not interested in him that way. And I’m still dating Jared, remember?”
    Rachel’s eyebrows pinched in confusion. “Then why are you stalking him?”
    Taylin explained what her manager wanted her to do and about the two run-ins she’d had with Luke. “I really don’t want to show up at the hospital tomorrow to interview him. He’ll probably think I volunteered for the project just so I could talk to him.”
    “He really was rude to you?” Rachel asked as she selected a donut for herself and tore it in half. “That doesn’t sound like the Luke I know.”
    “How do you know him?” Taylin asked, taking a bite of her donut. “And how did he end up in Mitchel Creek, Georgia?”
    Rachel explained her friendship with Diane, Luke’s younger sister. “Ever since college, Diane and I have kept in touch, and I knew Luke was looking to relocate somewhere else besides Montana. When Dave heard about the position opening up at the hospital, I let Diane know.” Rachel handed Taylin a bottle of water. “She told Luke, and since his hospital is owned by the same corporation as Mitchel Creek, he was able to transfer without any problems. Within a few weeks, he found himself a house and moved here.”
    Taylin uncapped the bottle and took a sip of water. “Is there a reason he wanted to leave Montana?” Maybe if she asked Rachel enough questions, she wouldn’t even have to ask the man himself.
    “Yeah, living in the same town with his ex-wife and her boyfriend was hard on the guy.”
    “He was married?” Taylin remembered the Facebook pic with Luke and the two little girls. “Did they have any kids?”
    A sadness filled Rachel’s eyes. “No, they didn’t have any kids. I don’t want to gossip, and his story isn’t mine to tell, but Vivian—that’s his ex-wife—gave birth to a baby boy about eight months ago, and Luke wasn’t the father.”
    Ouch. No wonder the guy didn’t like women. He’d been burned big time.
    “Oh, wow, that is so sad.”
    “Yeah. Luke is one of the nicest guys I know, so I’m surprised he’s been rude to you. Unless…” Rachel’s eyes widened as a smile curved her lips. “…Luke likes you.”
    “What?!” Taylin half-laughed and shouted. “That’s just crazy talk.”
    “I’m serious. He’s only been divorced for a little over a year, but they’ve been separated off and on for the past few years. I’ll just bet he finds you attractive and doesn’t know what to do about it.”
    “Right.” Taylin held up her sugary treat. “And donuts have zero carbs.” She took a big bite. She usually knew when a guy was interested, and Luke was not interested.
    Thankfully, their conversation was interrupted with the arrival of some of the kids. She and Rachel shooed them out of the kitchen, promising them donuts later on.
    “Luke likes you,” Rachel whispered as they went into gym.
    “Does not,” Taylin shot back.
    The mischievous grin on Rachel’s face had Taylin shaking her head. “Newlyweds are so annoying.”
    Rachel laughed, but dropped the subject. Taylin enlisted her friend’s help to organize the small group of kids who wanted to play the video dance game. Those who weren’t interested moved to the gaming area and started a foosball game with one of the other volunteers supervising.
    Glancing around the room, Taylin spotted a girl standing in the corner by herself. Long, dark hair hung like a curtain around the girl’s face, but Taylin recognized the teenager. Lindsey Rollins was fifteen going on twenty. She’d had a rough childhood and ended up in her grandmother’s custody three months ago while her mother was in rehab. Lindsey hated coming to the center, and judging by the scowl on her face, nothing had changed since the last time the girl had shown up a couple of weeks
