I drive back to the hospital the next morning. As I approach Ian’s room, I can hear Bailey and her mom laughing about something. I rap my knuckles on the door.

“Come in,” Alice calls out.

When I walk in, I’m met with a tired smile from Ian and a loving one from Bailey, who mouths a sweet little hi to me.

“Oh!” says Alice, standing up from her chair. “Dax. How nice of you to come by again.”

I nod and look over at Ian. “How you feeling today, bud?”

“Like I had a heart attack,” Ian jokes. “Pull up a chair.”

It’s good to sit with the three of them. Good to see Ian doing better. But the longer I stay, the more ravaged with guilt I feel about what Bailey and I did last night. I know it’s got nothing to do with her dad having a heart attack, but all of this feels like a bad fucking sign.

I still need Bailey. I still want to marry her, have babies with her, be with her until my dying day.

But I don’t want us to sneak around behind her parents’ backs. I don’t want to be that guy.

“Hey,” I say, standing up and setting my chair back against the wall. “I’m gonna head out.”

“You don’t have to leave yet,” says Bailey.

“No, I should,” I say. I shoot a grin at Ian. “This old guy needs his rest.”

I say goodbye to the three of them and step out of the room, closing the door behind me.

But I only make it halfway down the hall before I hear rapid footsteps chasing after me.

“Dax!”

I turn. My heart swells at the sight of Bailey rushing up to me. She reaches me and smiles as she catches her breath.

“Thank you for everything,” she says.

“It was nothing,” I say.

“No. You saved his life. I doubt my mom or I would have gotten him here so quickly last night.”

“I’d do a hell of a lot more for the guy. For all of you.”

“That’s really sweet of you.”

I run a hand over my chin. Something has just occurred to me about last night. “Did they see you sneak back into the house?”

Bailey shakes her head. “No. I climbed back in through my bedroom window. And I changed into my own clothes right away. They had no idea.”

“Okay. Good.”

She worries her bottom lip between her teeth. “Hey, um…about what you said last night…did you really mean that?”

I smile. “Never been more serious about anything in my life.”

Bailey’s eyes glimmer. “You really want to marry me? Dax, we barely know each other.”

“No, we do know each other, sweetness. We just haven’t spent much time together yet. There’s a difference.”

She cocks her head to the side. “But still…”

“I’m in love with you, Bailey,” I say. “And I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”

She draws in a quick breath. Her eyes prick with tears. Then she jumps up to wrap her arms around me and hug me tight.

“I’m in love with you, too,” she whispers into my ear.
