Lisa's Mountain Man

There she was doing it again. Every time she walked out into the corridor or into the dining room, she did a complete scan looking for him and she didn't understand why. They'd never spoken or even been introduced. At 33, Lisa Ann Tripp looked nice enough, and sexy too, to command anyone's attention. She was 5 foot-6 inches tall with auburn tresses that fell on and below her shoulders, emerald eyes and a special smile that would make anyone think they were special. Yes, she was still hurting from her recent breakup but, Trey Dulany, the object of her affection, she thought she wanted him to be, worked in the employee pharmacy, on the opposite side of the long corridor, as an assistant at Vidant Medical Center. She'd done her homework knowing that he was single, and he'd been in the pharmacy 7 years. Before that, ECU and was still enrolled there. The magic happened and unbelievably, by Christmas, they were engaged to be married come next June. He'd be at VCU in Richmond, VA for 5 months finishing his degree work. Then he could take the state test and be licensed as a pharmacist. Everything was falling in place, her Mountain Man, he was from Asheville, would be hers but she made a surprise visit in late March finding him at Nate's with that woman!
