Caught

Misty’s return and backward embrace encourage Carson to let the kiss linger, in no hurry at all to end the exchange.

Rick stops dead in his tracks in the doorway, his eyes going wide, then narrowing at the sight. He mutters under his breath. “You’ve got to be kidding me.”

Clearing his throat loudly, he tries to break the other two up. “Excuse me for barging in on your little…party, but we really do have work to do today. You two might find it polite to do this at another time and another place.”

Carson breaks the kiss to straighten and look up, but allows no embarrassment or guilt to show as he keeps Misty locked in his hold. “We’re on our way, Doc.”
