Aside from the mu...clay, Louis’s evacuation went well. You made the right call regarding the hospital. And I admire the way you handled Jacob Weil. He can be pretty intense, if not outright intimidating. I know you had Ginger’s best interests in mind. Anyone could see your compassion. Except...”

      “Except what?”

      “Except that I’m wondering if you’re aware of Dr. Boyd’s opinion on this subject.”

      “Which subject?”

      “But it’s legal now.”

      “Not at the federal level. And he lobbied hard against it here in Alaska.”

      “Ginger brought it up.”

      Tag exhaled. “I know, and like I said, I think you handled it very well. But you need to be careful.”

      A million invisible needles pricked at her skin. “Careful?” She repeated the word flatly. Careful was the opposite of what she needed to be in order to get her message out, especially when medical marijuana was a topic about which she should be able to speak freely.
