Chapter Seventeen

Aaron walked into the hospital room. Marina was lying in a bed with a bandage on her forehead. She was watching television with a sullen expression.

"Hey!" he said. "How are you feeling?"

She looked over at him. "It's about time you showed up! I'm bored out of my mind. If one more nurse takes my temperature, blood will be spilled. I'm not kidding."

"Sounds like you're feeling better."

"Just a little headache, but I'm ready to work. More than ready."

She got out of bed. She wore a blue gown that was ugly even on her amazing body. Her red hair was a tangled mess.

He handed her a paper bag. "Your clothes."

She immediately began to change in the middle of the room.

"You'll never guess where we're going today," he said. "A carnival. Wiley's Wild and Wacky Carnival of Fun, to be exact."

"Huh?" She gave him a funny look. "Why?"

He quickly summarized yesterday's events.

"Sounds like you had fun," she said. "I'm sorry I missed it."

"It wasn't that much fun, really."

"You spent a lot of time with Smythe. What is your assessment so far?"

Aaron pursed his lips. "Capable, but very stubborn and opinionated."

"Ethel must love that."

"If you mean she would love to kill him, you're right. Are you ready?"

She now wore jeans and an orange, knit sweater, a much better look for her. She quickly brushed out her hair.

"Yes," she said.

He grabbed her around the waist and kissed her softly. "I missed you."

"Me, too." She kissed him back. "Let's go."
