Noah

I fell asleep holding Jordin and woke up the exact same way. She remained asleep when I climbed off the bed to go to the bathroom. I did my thing, then checked my phone to discover two missed calls. My cell and I hid out in the kitchen so I wouldn’t disturb her.

“Good morning, Mr. Dorian. Dr. Fields would like a word with you.”

“Is everything okay?” I rubbed my brow with concern, pacing back and forth in the small space. He rarely phoned me.

“I’ll put Dr. Fields on the line. Please hold.”

Tick tock, tick tock, get on the phone already! I continued pacing back and forth steadily.

“Hi, Noah, this is Dr. Fields.”

“What’s going on?” There was no time for pleasantries. I needed answers.

“Your brother had a breakthrough earlier. He uttered a word to Patty.”

My mouth dropped open in complete shock. “What! He did! What did he say?” I must’ve been loud, because Jordin entered the kitchen in a comatose state, yawning and stretching her arms above her head.

“He said your name. We were all beyond surprised. I wanted to know if you could stop by at some point today. Maybe if he sees you, it’ll encourage him to speak again.”

I nodded even though the doctor couldn’t see me. “Of course I’ll come by. I just need to get dressed, and I’ll be on my way.”

“Great. I’m very optimistic about this, Noah.”

Yeah, I was too. My brother hadn’t spoken a word in years. This was incredible news. Fuck. I needed to get there ASAP.

“Is everything okay?” Jordin gathered her long, beautiful hair and twisted it up, somehow making it stay put without falling down.

“Yes, baby. Everything’s great.” I hugged her enthusiastically, my heart racing a mile a minute. “I hate to run so soon, but I have to go. Something’s come up.” I headed for the bedroom to gather my clothes.

“What’s going on?” She followed, watching me get dressed.

My brother was a subject I never spoke with anyone about other than my family, and I wasn’t about to start now.

“I have something important to take care of.” I sat on her bed and slipped on a sock.

“Hmm.” She had disappointment in her voice.

“What’s hmm?” I eyed her, slipping the other one on.

“I have some clarity. That’s all.”

She stood in front of me with her hands on her hips. I had no clue what she was referring to, but I was in too good of a mood for an argument.

“Clarity about what?”

“Last night you told me it all begins with trust. I guess when you said that, it meant it only goes one way.”

Fuck. I rubbed my brow for the second time that morning.

“No. That’s not what it meant.” I sat upright. Seems we were going to discuss this after all.

“Enlighten me, then. You want me to trust you, but you don’t want to risk trusting me in return.”

She sat next to me, her knee hiked up on the bed, her other foot resting on the floor. At least she didn’t speak in anger.
