Kinsley laid another lukewarm washcloth on Damon’s forehead then stepped back. “His color looks so much better,” she said to her brother.

Wade folded his arms. “Of all the people you could contact, why did you call me down here again?”

“Damon needed ginger ale and more Tylenol. I couldn’t leave him like this. Plus, I thought he should be examined by a doctor.”

“I’m a veterinarian.”

“Is there really that much difference?”

“In that case, I should tell you that both his coat and teeth look good, but you should bring him in next week because he’s due for his rabies shot.”

“I’m serious.” She planted a hand on her hip.

“Kinsley, he’ll be fine. His fever has broken and you just said yourself that his color looks better. Keep giving him Tylenol every four to six hours and make sure he stays hydrated. That’s the best thing you can do for him. I’m sure he’ll bounce back by morning.”

Kinsley rung her hands. “Okay. I guess you’re right.” She tucked the covers around Damon’s shoulders then walked Wade to the door.

Her brother narrowed his eyes. “Since when did you get all Florence Nightingale-y? And I thought you considered Damon the enemy.”

“Yeah, well, that was before.”

“Before what exactly?”

Before she started seeing him in a new light.

“It’s not what you think,” she said, noticing the concerned look on Wade’s expression. “But I’m curious, what happened to Damon when you two were in college?”

Wade’s brows came together. “What do you mean?”

“Weren’t you two roommates or something for a semester? Then he ended up transferring, right?”

“Oh, that.” Wade suddenly got a distant look on his face. He shook his head. “It was around that time when his younger brother passed away.”

She raised a hand to her mouth. “How awful.”

“Yeah. I don’t really know any of the details, though. The college had his stuff packed up and he was gone before I ever had a chance to speak to him. Sad thing to have happened so young.”

Even without knowing the whole story, Kinsley knew the situation was still sad. Unbelievably so. Her heart broke for Damon and his family.

“After that, I never saw Damon again until just recently. His parents pulled him from college and he ended up finishing his degree somewhere else.”

Kinsley blew out a breath. “Wow. That explains the dreams.”

“Dreams?”

“Before you came over, Damon was dreaming. Murmuring something about being sorry. It sounded like he was apologizing to his dad for his brother’s death.”

Wade shrugged. “Like I said, I don’t know anything about that. You’re going to have to ask Damon if you want the whole story.”

Kinsley frowned. “Yeah, maybe.” She’d ask, but she wasn’t so sure Damon would tell her anything. He was guarded with anything personal and she imagined he trusted very few. Yet, for some reason, she wanted to be one of those few people.

Wade took the stethoscope from around his neck and tucked it into his back pocket. “I’m going to head home. I’m exhausted. But text me if you need anything else. I’m sure you will anyway,” he said with a wink.
