*****

We make it back to Alex’s place, after a short pit stop at Hamilton. I’d decided I needed my laptop, so I can get a little work done. Plus, I have to make sure I’m on hand via email, just in case Natalie can’t handle every single thing until I get back, which, if I have my way, will be soon.

I sit down on the long, black sofa, and Alex drags over an ottoman and props up my feet.

“Honey, you’re very sweet,” I say, “But I didn’t hurt my foot.”

“No. But this will help you relax.”

He hands my computer to me, and then heads into the kitchen. I open my email and find at least twenty manuscripts in my inbox, waiting for attention. Wow, am I am ever going to have my work cut out for me while I am here.

“However long that’s going to be,” I mutter under my breath. We haven’t had a chance to discuss any of the details of my visit, particularly, how long he wants me to stay here. Until I’ve recovered from my injury a bit, obviously…and Alex seems hell-bent on keeping me around until someone nabs Bob. And then, the girls are coming over on Sunday, so I’ll be here until the end of the weekend, at least…

“Oh, what difference does it make?” I ask myself, “I’ll be here as long as I’ll be here. Meanwhile, I need to get some work done.”

I open one of the email attachments, ready to dig in to the first manuscript.

“I brought you some water and your pain medication,” Alex says, returning from the kitchen.

“But I’m not hurting right now,” I protest, frustration over the amount of work I have piled up making me sound harsher than I intended. All I want is a few hours of peace, so I can accomplish something tonight. A few uninterrupted hours.

“Just look at you.” I can hear Nicki’s voice in my head, chastising me for being such a workaholic. “Only you would want to spend the whole night working, instead of cuddling up with a hot man who thinks you’re the next best thing since sliced bread!”

I shake my head and mutter under my breath. “Shut up, Nicki.”

“What’s that?” Alex stands there looking at me, holding a bottle of water in one hand and my prescription bottle in the other.

“Nothing.” Again, I shake my head. “I’m just not in any pain, that’s all.”

“Which is exactly why you want to take this now, rather than waiting until later. If you take them like they’re prescribed—in your case, every six hours—you’ll manage your pain. If you wait until you’re hurting before you take them, you’ll have to wait twenty or thirty minutes each time, until they take full effect.” He set the water on the ottoman next to my feet, and then twisted the lid off the medicine bottle. He shook two of the pills into his palm and held out his hand. “Here. Take them now, and you won’t feel any pain.
