i guess you could say he did n't like me invading his turf . ''
`` would he not take it from you ? ''
`` oh , he took it , ate it , and seemed to enjoy it .
but i did n't make any friends that night . ''
megan grinned .
`` good old beau . ''
pesh raised his brows .
`` you 're siding with the dog ? ''
`` in that scenario , yes .
he was merely protecting emma and noah . ''
`` i see . ''
tilting her head at him , she added , `` besides , i do n't like any scenario where you and emma are anything more than friends . ''
`` i was there in a medical capacity , '' he argued .
she wagged her finger at him .
`` you brought dinner with you .
that fact alone shows you were there for more than just practicing medicine . ''
when he quickly pushed her finger down , she gave him a look that was a cross between puzzled and infuriated .
`` are you trying to silence me ? ''
`` no , i 'm just helping you save face .
we do n't point-it 's considered rude . ''
megan 's eyes widened .
`` i 've done something else wrong now ? ''
`` you 're fine . ''
she shook her head .
`` next time , you better plan on giving me a crash course in indian culture before you even think about bringing me around your family . ''
across the table from them , shveta cleared her throat .
when pesh and megan glanced at her , she smiled .
`` you 're doing fine , megan .
please do n't worry about following all the rules of our culture .
we certainly do n't expect you to . ''
megan returned shveta 's smile .
`` thank you .
i would never dream of doing anything to offend you . ''
`` of course you would n't , '' charlie replied .
pesh did n't dare sneak a peek at his mother .
after all , she was the one who upheld the traditions and customs of their heritage while his father had tried to americanize himself as much as possible , right down to changing his name .
charlie dabbed the corners of his mouth with his napkin .
`` i understand you have a son , megan . ''
she smiled .
`` yes , mason is almost two .
he 's my entire world . ''
`` you should have brought him with you this evening .
we would have loved to meet him , '' shveta said .
`` maybe next time .
of course , after you see how much energy he has , you might change your mind . ''
as the table laughed , she glanced over at pesh .
`` mason truly adores pesh , and pesh is so good with him .
his patience is infinite . ''
pesh smiled .
`` he 's a good boy .
i enjoy spending time with him . ''
`` so it 's serious between you two ? ''
lavani asked .
`` uh , well- '' megan began before she was interrupted by the doorbell .
sanjay rose out of his chair .
`` that must be dev . ''
`` how surprising that he 's so late ? ''
shveta mused with a smile .
pesh almost laughed at the horrified expression on megan 's face at the mention of dev .
`` you did n't tell me he was going to be here ! ''
she hissed .
`` i was n't sure if he was coming or not .
but do n't worry .
things are fine between us now . ''
megan gave him a skeptical look as dev walked into the dining room .
`` hey everybody , '' he said , throwing up a hand .
at the sight of megan sitting next to pesh , dev 's eyes widened .
`` well , well , if it is n't miss right hook , '' he mused with a smirk .
`` it 's miss left hook , actually , '' she corrected .
dev grinned .
`` good to know . ''
`` you 've met megan , dev ? ''
lavani asked curiously .
`` we had the pleasure of meeting each other one day when i went by the hospital to see alpesh . ''
at megan 's sharp intake of breath , dev winked at her .
he then eased down across from them and began piling food on his plate .
`` so you guys work together and now you 're dating , huh ? ''
`` yes , '' pesh replied .
after taking a bite of his samosa , dev motioned at them while he chewed .
`` alpesh is sort of your boss , right ? ''
pesh could feel megan 's anger rising .
`` no , actually he is n't .
i have a preceptor , or head nurse , who is my boss .
and before you can make it sound any seedier , it is n't against the hospital rules to date each other .
besides , we met each other long before i started working at wellstar . ''
`` is that right ? ''
dev replied .
`` yeah , it is . ''
a slow grin slunk across his face .
`` i like you , '' he said to megan .
`` you have an interesting way of showing it . ''
charlie chuckled at the head of the table .
`` my , my , alpesh , have n't you picked a feisty one ? ''
pesh glanced at megan , who had flushed the red color of her blouse .
she gave charlie a weak smile .
`` i apologize . ''
with a tsk , charlie replied , `` please do n't .
it 's been rather refreshing to see you putting dev into his well-deserved place .
i understand you punched him , too . ''
when his mother gasped in horror , megan fumbled under the table for pesh 's hand .
