Nursing in Northlake (At the Altar Book 9) Read Online Free PDF Page B

she didn't want to be the only working wife in the family.
    "I'm a high school principal."
    "Oh, wonderful! I'm a nurse. I'm an Assistant Director of Nursing in a nursing home in Northlake."
    Slade looked down at her. "I didn't know you worked in a nursing home. I guess I just assumed you worked for a hospital."
    Heidi shook her head. "I did when I first graduated from nursing school, but not anymore." She didn't add that the hospital is where she learned to hate doctors, because she was sure he'd already surmised as much. He had to know as well as she did how most doctors treated nurses.
    "Interesting."
    Heidi shrugged at him, turning back to Michelle. "When does school start back up for you?"
    "Last week. We have to head back today, and I hate that we have no time together. Of course, if we had time together the day you married, I'd probably have a problem with you."
    Heidi laughed, looking over at Slade. He was talking softly with his brother, and she couldn't help but wonder what the conversation was about. "Is your school big?"
    "No, it's not. I know every single student in it. And they all know me. My students are pretty awesome, though."
    Seth smiled at Heidi. "I'm really glad Slade took my advice and called Dr. Lachele. I have a feeling you two are going to be very happy together."
    Heidi smiled, unsure how else to respond. "I sure hope so."
    Heidi's mom looked back and forth between Michelle and Seth. "Are you two really happy?" she asked.
    Michelle nodded. "It started out kind of rocky, but you'd expect that. When two total strangers have agreed to spend their lives together, it makes sense for them to have a tough start, but now that we've been married a few months, we're both really happy."
    Heidi nodded. "Did y'all take a honeymoon?"
    "We went to Disney World. It was amazing. Seth even wore the groom mouse ears all over the place."
    "Is there a picture of said mouse ears?" Heidi asked with a smile. She kind of wished she could put them on Slade for some of their wedding pictures.
    "There are!" Michelle fished her phone out of her Mickey Mouse purse. She quickly swiped through her pictures until she found what she was looking for.
    Heidi laughed softly as she looked at the picture of Michelle and Seth in front of Cinderella's Castle. "Oh, that's priceless!"
    Michelle nodded. "Those are memories I will treasure forever."
    Seth frowned at Michelle. "Are you showing pictures of me in the mouse ears again?"
    Michelle winked back. "Do you really think I'd do that?"
    "Every chance you get!"
    "I have that one framed in an eight by ten behind my desk at school. Seth went to a game with me on Friday night and the kids all came to meet the 'Mickey Mouse man.' He wasn't as impressed with his new title as I was."
    Heidi grinned. "I'm sure he wasn't. I should have done something like that with Slade, so I could send pics to the nurses he works with. I'm sure they'd love the blackmail opportunities."
    "Are you not doing a honeymoon?" Michelle asked.
    Heidi shook her head. "I couldn't get off work for that long on such short notice. As it is, my boss is covering for me this weekend."
    "I think Slade said his situation was similar. That's sad, but I'm sure you guys will work it out."
    "We will. We're going to go get pictures taken in Dallas after this. I always wanted sunset pictures of the Dallas Skyline for my wedding."
    "That's a great idea. I bet they're gorgeous."
    Heidi's mom put her hand on her arm. "You two need to go and cut the cake so you won't be late for those pictures."
    Heidi nodded. "Slade, we need to go cut the cake."
    Slade looked at Seth. "Duty calls."
    Heidi was impressed when Slade didn't smash the cake into her face--impressed and pleased. She fed cake to him with her fingers, making sure not to smear any. If he was good to her, she would be good right back.
    After they finished with the cake, they said their goodbyes. She walked past her car and cringed. There were condoms all over it. No, she was glad they
