As much as Sage enjoyed Leahs company, the constant talk about Parker and how Leah had always relied on his help and how much he meant to her and how she loved Frank and how she once loved Parker was giving Sage a headache.
Then there was the time that Parker took me on a picnic, and Frank found out. Just when I opened the basket of food, Frank
A knock at the door interrupted any more talk. Leah stood and opened the door. She was a tiny little thing with a face like a childs doll. Parker would be foolish not to want her in his lifeas badly as the thought hurt Sage. We were just talking about you, Leah said.
At the sound of Parkers voice, Sages heart swelled like a rock sending ripples across water. She had to fight this. What if he could read her eyesor her heart? He stepped into the room, hat in hand, looking far too good for a man who couldnt ever belong to her. A taller man strode in behind him, but she only had eyes for one.
Glad to see youre awake. Parker picked up a chair and set it beside her bed. Your colors improved from ashen to white.
Im glad you think Ive improved. She captured his gaze. How could she be disagreeable to the man whod saved her life? Thanks for taking care of me.
Youd have done the same for me. John and Davis are mighty grateful. You did a brave thing.
Shed never known how to handle complimentsmade her feel uncomfortable. Id like to get out of this bed and to the hotel. Ive work to do.
He pressed his lips together and shook his head. Doc says youll be staying put for a few weeks. You nearly died when that bullet hole got infected.
A few weeks? She wanted her words to sound strong, but instead they squeaked out like a frightened kittens meow. Then a spark of hope ignited. Leah said four weeks. Has the doc changed his mind?
Parker rubbed the back of his neck. He did say four. The best thing you can do is rest so you can heal faster. Aiden is quiet right now, which gives us time to talk through what we can do next. Parker spoke softly to her like he did when they were in the mountains. But instead of comforting, his words irritated her.
I tried to explain that she needed rest, Leah said. But shes stubborn.
My guess is her stubbornness is what kept her alive, Parker said. But lifes too short to take chances with it.
The longer he talked, the more Sage realized her heart would certainly show if she didnt turn away from him. Ill talk to the doc myself. I heal fast. I understand Widow Bess has my clothes, and Id like to have them returned.
And I locked up your rifle and Colts. I have an idea to discuss with you later on.
The last I heard, taking a bounty hunters guns means a man is looking for a fight.
