David shot her a look. “Pinch you where?”
Ella blinked, caught off guard, and then it hit her what he meant. Was he really making a dirty joke right now? This man just had to take things straight to the gutter.
Her cheeks went instantly hot. “You’re shameless!”
David strolled into Herbs Life, tossing the words over his shoulder. “What did I even say? Seriously, Ella, maybe you’re the one with the filthy thoughts.”
Ella could only stare, lost for words.
He looked like he had his life together, the picture of a gentleman, but honestly, no one was sneakier than him.
She decided she didn’t even want to bother with a response and followed him inside.
They hadn’t been there long before Dr. Wilson came rushing over. “Mr. Harmon, what brings you here so late?”
He wasn’t even on shift tonight. David had called him, and he’d dropped everything and come running from home.
“I brought someone for a pregnancy test,” David said.
Dr. Wilson glanced around. “Who?”
David stepped aside so Ella was in full view. “Her.”
The second Dr. Wilson saw Ella, his eyes went wide and he sucked in a sharp breath. “You… you… you…”
David watched him. “Dr. Wilson, do you know Ella?”
“I… I… I…” Dr. Wilson stammered.
Ella, on the other hand, was totally unfazed. “Nope. I don’t know him.”
Dr. Wilson was visibly sweating, totally thrown off. Two big shots showing up at once, and he hadn’t had a minute to prepare.
David said, “Dr. Wilson, can you get the paperwork started for the test?”
“Yes, of course. My office is this way, please follow me.”
Dr. Wilson clapped his hand to his thigh. “Oh, right, Mr. Harmon, this way as well.”
The whole vibe was just strange. Ella finally broke the tension. “Dr. Wilson, just give the test order to him. He’ll only relax if he takes me himself.”
“Of course. Mr. Harmon, here you are.” Dr. Wilson passed the paperwork to David with both hands, super respectful.
David took it, stepped up beside Ella, and said, “Let’s go.”
She followed him out.
Behind them, Dr. Wilson wiped the sweat from his forehead. His boss was here. With Mr. Harmon, no less. For a pregnancy test?
Was Ella really pregnant?
What kind of legendary kid would that be, with parents like that?
Whoever was about to be born into that family must be so lucky.
