“Katie Bell, what in Merlin’s name am I going to do with you?” He glared down at his patient, his arms crossed as he shook his head. “This is the third time this month you’ve been in the bed, and this time, the break was clean through.” He gestured to her leg, which was now in a cast.

Katie smiled up at Marcus. “Well, I have to see you somehow since you won’t agree to go out with me.”

Marcus scowled. “Katie, we’ve been through this, you’re my patient,” he said with a sigh. “It’s against my code of ethics to go out with you.” He shook his head. “Nevermind that we work together. There’s just all sorts of red tape.”

“Okay, so it’s not that you don’t want to,” Katie clarified, looking at him hopefully.

“Merlin, woman, no it’s not because I don’t want to.” He ran his hand through his hair. “Trust me, I do,” he admitted. “But we can’t, so stop pressuring me.”

“Well, I imagine I’ll be retiring in the next few years from the Appleby Arrows in the next few years… So maybe then?” she asked hopefully.

“If you still want to, maybe,” Marcus conceded. “But Merlin, Katie, stop getting hurt during games. You’re going to make my hair grey.”

Katie grinned sheepishly. “Sorry, you know I’m not actually getting hurt on purpose.”

“I know.”

“But it helps to make sure our Healer has job security,” she teased.

Marcus threw his hands in the air. “Your Skele-Gro is on the table. Drink it when you’re ready. This one is gonna be a doozy, that’s why we’ve set your leg in the cast for now.”

“Marcus, don’t leave!” Katie called as he strode towards the door.

“I’ll be back shortly, Katie, just going to get you something to help you sleep during most of the pain.”
“Thanks, Marcus,” she whispered.

Glancing at Katie over his shoulder, his chest ached. “Anything for you, Katie.”
