By the time I was ready to leave for work, Thom had walked Gunner, and Lyla had passed out on the sofa wrapped in a blanket before either of us had a chance to get her to take the painkillers. Her brow was furrowed from the discomfort even in sleep, but neither of us were willing to wake her in case the pain became worse.

With my bag in hand, I hovered in the doorway, my feet refusing to move. No matter how much I knew I’d get shit if I arrived late to work, I couldn’t bring myself to leave her.

A large hand settled on my shoulder as a stubbled jaw rubbed against my ear. “I’ll keep an eye on her.”

“Just… yeah, okay. Give me a text if you need me. Any change and I’ll come home.” Even with Thom’s assurance, my feet still didn’t move from the spot as we both stared down at her.

Thom’s hand dropped from my body, but not without trailing his fingers down my spine first.

Fucker.

With a kiss pressed to my cheek, he reminded me, “You’re going to be late. She’ll be fine. Go.”

Annoyance spiked to an all-time high as I dragged my gaze away from her and left the house. Several times during the drive to work, I’d had to talk myself out of turning the car around and going home to make sure she was okay.

It did occur to me then that I was in far deeper than I ought to have been. It was supposed to be a bit of fun, not heavy on the feelings, but right then I didn’t care. She was ill and taking care of her was all that mattered.

But it wasn’t only her and me. Thom was very much a part of what we had, and I knew he felt the same. Thom was there, Gunner too. They’d take care of her.
