A young mother held her infant against her chest about five feet away by the window Her frantic cries echoed through the restaurant , " What's wrong with my baby ? Oh God ! What's happening ?

She comforted the family while teasing the baby , praising how adorable he was When she turned around to retum to her table , she noticed Donovan standing nearby . He had come over at some point and witnessed the entire rescue . He was staring at her as if he had seen her for the very first time .

There was a softness in his eyes that she wasn't used to , something unfamiliar " What are you looking at me like that for ? " she huffed . " I'm still a doctor , you know , " Giselle added teasingly . " Even if I usually treat animals , that little emergency was a piece of cake for me . It's hardly worth the tuss , " Donovan said nothing , but that unexpected moment had changed his perception of her .
