“What the fuck are you doing here?” Ethan’s sharp voice pulls me out of my thoughts.

Mark has been sleeping for the last hour as I’ve sat on his bed and held his hand. I carefully untangle my fingers from his and stand. I walk across the room toward Ethan as I sort of feel like I’ve stepped into a movie. It’s so weird to be in the same room as two people whose performances I’ve admired for over a decade. One’s half in love with me, I think, and the other hates my very existence.

“Brian told me he was here,” I say quietly.

“You’re the reason he’s here.” Ethan’s eyes are hard and his voice is cold.

I close my eyes in pain for a beat at his words. I know he’s just lashing out, but he’s not wrong. This is my fault. Mark admitted as much when he said he was looking for something that makes him feel the same way I made him feel. “I know. And I’m going to make it right.”

“How?”

“Look, you’re not exactly innocent.”

He narrows his eyes at me.

“He told me about the last time he was hospitalized for exhaustion.”

I don’t miss the surprise that flashes through his eyes, but our conversation is cut short when Becky walks back into the room. “Is he still sleeping?” she asks. She glances at her watch.

I nod.

“This is the first time he’s slept for more than a few minutes since he got here,” she says. She looks at Ethan and points at him with a glare. “Don’t you dare wake him up, Ethan Fuller.”

He grins at her with innocence, and it’s easy to see how he and Mark together make one hell of a team. Both devastatingly handsome bad boys with a proclivity for sex.

Becky rolls her eyes and looks at me. “He seemed to instantly calm when you walked in. Keep doing whatever you’re doing.” She heads over to the counter to flip through her paperwork again.

I give Ethan a pointed glare then walk back to the bed. I sit in the chair beside it and slide my phone out of my pocket. Ethan collapses on a couch by the windows, but I don’t pay attention to him.

Mark jolts awake in the bed a few minutes later. I drop my phone with a clatter onto the table beside his bed and stand as he pants out a breath.

“Are you okay?” I ask. Becky rushes over.

He looks gratefully at me and nods. “Some water, please.” His voice is dry and scratchy from sleep, and I hand him the cup sitting beside my phone. He gulps it down and hands the cup back to me, and Becky starts poking and prodding at him to check his vitals.

“When the fuck can I go home?” he growls at her.

“We’re keeping you one more night for observation, but if everything looks good in the morning, you’ll be released then.”

He groans in annoyance. “I was hoping to get out tonight.”

Becky shoots him an apologetic smile. “Sorry Charlie.
