piece of the pie. There’s not really much that we can do about that. Jim will take care of it. I’m sure he’s already all over it, but this still got printed and will be delivered far and wide to curious people who won’t stop talking about it until the next big scandal comes up.”
     
    “I’m sorry.”
     
    He turned and looked at her hastily. “Don’t be sorry, please… don’t. This isn’t your fault, and I’m so glad that I got to be there for the appointment. Really, it was one of the most incredible things I’ve ever gotten to experience. This is just some of the fallout of me being in public with you, that’s all. It’s not that big a deal. I just hope your family doesn’t see it, or anyone else we might have to explain anything to.”
     

Chapter Five
     
    There was considerable fallout from the image hitting the newspaper. It hit the presses all over, and social media, and spread like wildfire. Delilah’s parents were on the phone to her immediately, and she didn’t answer their calls because she had no idea what to say to them. Several of her friends called her, and just as she had done with her parents, she ignored the calls, though it hurt her enormously to do it.
     
    Cameron’s entire team expected honest answers, but he kept it simple and said to them, “She’s a friend of mine.” Which was true. They had seen him go so long without a girlfriend that they thought nothing more of it and dropped the matter, thinking that Cameron was just helping out a friend.
     
    The obstetrician was inundated with calls and visitors looking for information and interviews, but Jim had squared the doctor away immediately, and the doctor refused to take any calls or visitors that weren’t prior patients of his.
     
    Maryanne and Renee were at the house more often, trying to help console the ruffled feathers of both Cameron and Delilah, and they did help take some of the pressure off at home. Renee asked if she could take Delilah out for a massage and a spa day, and Cameron made it clear that they could go as long as they weren’t seen so that no more rumors would be spread. He thought the relaxation would do Delilah some good.
     
    He came home from practice the day that Renee and Delilah were out, and was just relaxing on the sofa when the doorbell rang. He wasn’t expecting anyone and was more surprised than he had been in ages when he opened the door and saw the woman who was standing on his doorstep.
     
    She was a tall redhead, extremely beautiful, her body amply curved in all the right places, her big blue eyes planted on Cameron, and her full red lips in a solid pout. She looked like a pin-up girl from the forties. Cameron felt like his heart had just been ripped out of his chest.
     
    “Well Cam, aren’t you going to invite me in?” she purred, sliding her hand up to her hip.
     
    He shook his head to try to clear the chaos that was exploding inside of it, and he stepped back to let her waltz into his home. He could not take his eyes off of her; she was just the way he remembered in college, except more beautiful, somehow, sexier, wilder, naughtier, and perhaps some exotic blend of really good and really bad.
     
    “Amanda. This is a big surprise. I didn’t actually expect to see you… ever again.” He followed her as she took her time walking through the front part of the house, and then strutted into the living room and kitchen area, stopping in the kitchen.
     
    “I was surprised too, baby, but it’s nice to see you. You’re looking really,” she let her eyes travel slowly over the entirety of his body, “…really good. Be a darling and get me a glass of wine, would you? You should have one with me; you look like you could use a drink.”
     
    He stared at her for a moment, and then realized that she was probably right, and a drink would do him some good. It might calm his heart down so that it wouldn’t beat right out of his chest and go running out the door. He handed her a
