Even a grouch needs love ... Martin and Louisa are trying to be kinder to each other. I am a fan who believes people can change and I wrote this story to show that they are learning to get along. But it is so difficult for Martin to tell Louisa he loves her.

Doc Martin and Louisa are becoming aware of their attraction to each other. Then … Louisa has a chance to spend several summer months in the United States with an international teacher exchange program. Away she goes … and someone new catches her eye. Will she return to Portwenn and Martin? Please forgive a far away writer in America for not knowing so many English terms or ways.
