Gold Coast Angels: Two Tiny Heartbeats. Fiona McArthur
stranger.’
She grinned at him. Looked him up and down and shook her head. ‘Ha. I’m not the strange one. I’m not wearing shorts and joggers with black socks.’
‘Ouch.’ He looked down at his trunks and runners, and decided to throw away the socks, even though they barely showed above his shoes. He’d thought he looked okay. ‘I’ll have you know this is the latest in trendy jog wear.’
‘My bad, then.’ She didn’t look sorry. She sat back and wiped her hair out of her eyes and the thick mane flashed like fire in the sunlight. Funny he hadn’t noticed her hair that much at work. ‘So, where do trendy joggers run to?’
He blinked. ‘Mostly to and from the beach. And back to the hospital apartment building where a lot of the trendy staff stay.’ He sounded like an idiot, so he glanced away and pointed to a tall building a block back from the ocean.
‘Wondered where that was.’
He looked back at her and the slight breeze rippled her hair as she turned her head to look. He’d never had a thing for redheads before—but now he could see the attraction. He’d heard they had a tendency for fire and passion and he could just imagine young Lucy letting fly. The thought made him smile even more.

His mind was five per cent on the conversation and ninety-five on admiring the view. ‘Not that long. I live next door to my sister, Chloe. Two years now. Very convenient.’
‘Someone said you had a sister who was a nurse at the hospital.’ She nodded, and everything on the top half of her body wobbled a bit. He tried not to stare at her cleavage.
Things were getting foggy. ‘Bless the grapevine. Yep.’ Why was he brain dead? ‘We used to share but she wanted her own place and couldn’t see any reason to shift.’ He was rambling. ‘It’s close enough to the hospital that I can walk if I want to. Or run in an emergency. Most times I drive because usually I’m going somewhere later.’
