Scarlet Wilson - The Doctor's Baby Secret

Blair shook his head again. ‘If you say so, Corrine. I’m not the expert in chemistry. I’m just the payload specialist. But when you two are in the same room...’ His voice tailed off.

‘What?’ She couldn’t help the edge in her voice. It was bad enough trying to ignore the buzz in her body whenever he was around. The last thing she wanted was for anyone else to notice it too.

Blair gave her a huge grin. ‘Let’s just say it’s best not to have combustible materials in space.’ He pointed to the stats. ‘And it looks like this guy isn’t going to be flunking out.’

She sighed and folded her arms across her chest. Austin had aced it. Not only that—his was the fastest time of any candidate ever. Great. Once he knew that, he’d be even more unbearable. Blair gave a little shrug. ‘My guess is he’s in it for the long haul.’

She looked over at the pool. The rest of the candidates were just emerging from the water—their ten minutes of treading water over. Her stomach flip-flopped. They were right at the start of the process. How many of them would actually make it into space?

‘They’re all in it for the long haul,’ she said quietly. She reached over and pressed a hand on Blair’s shoulder. ‘I’ll see you later. The benefits of being a doctor mean I’ve got special permission to see Frank.’

‘Tell him I’ll visit tomorrow.’

She nodded. ‘I will.’ She had one last glance across the pool. All the candidates were now stripping out of their flight suits. She hated the fact that her eyes were drawn to one body.

She could tell even from here he was still mad. His jaw was set and he was barely making eye contact with the rest of his colleagues. For all his bravado it seemed that Austin Mitchell ran a little deeper than she’d first suspected. It didn’t matter that he and Michael had finished first out of his group of candidates. He’d no idea how previous candidates might have performed and it was obviously playing on his mind.

She couldn’t prevent a small smile from playing around her mouth. Finally, she knew which buttons to press with Austin Mitchell.
