ELLIE

Although my head is throbbing, I remove my blood pressure cuff and crawl out of bed as soon as Landen and Noah leave and go to the bathroom. When I look in the mirror, I gasp with horror.

“Oh my God…”

My hair looks like it got stuck in a windmill and all my makeup rubbed off, making me look like a banged-up ghost who got electrocuted.

You’d think I’d be tan from working outside all day, but I wear a lot of sunscreen to avoid getting burnt or prevent skin cancer.

It’s bad enough I don’t remember Landen or anything about our history. I don’t also need him seeing me like this.

It’d be my luck that I’d wake up to the sexiest man I’ve ever seen next to my bedside and he’s not my boyfriend.

A six-foot-something, blue-eyed cowboy staring at me like I’m his.

Noah’s words from a moment ago repeat in my head.

Landen continued to be nice and supportive because he liked you. He tried for years to get you to like him back. But I guess he finally realized you never would and has a girlfriend now.

If that’s true, this nagging feeling about the things I can’t place is going to drive me even more crazy. What would make me hate anyone?

As I search my brain for answers, I realize there are a lot of holes in my memory that won’t surface.

I’ve never had a seizure or concussion before, so maybe this is a completely normal side effect, but it doesn’t feel normal to me. Something is off.

Continuing to study myself, I notice a massive bruise on the side of my forehead surrounding the bump that’s covered with gauze. I’ve fallen off Ranger before but never to this extent where I’ve hit a barrel and caused this much damage. I wish I could go see him right now and reassure him this isn’t his fault. We’ve been through so much together over the years and he won’t understand any of what happened.

Wetting my hands, I thread my fingers through the strands around my face. I normally keep a hair tie on my wrist or in my bag, but I don’t even know where it is. Or my phone.

I’m in an unattractive hospital gown, so my clothes must be here somewhere.

Once I’ve finished combing through the best I can and washing my face, I get myself somewhat comfortable back in bed. The pillows are too soft and the blanket is scratchy, so I’ll be happy to get out of here tomorrow and back into my own bed.

I already know my parents are going to stress out seeing me in here. As much as they’ve supported me for the past several years, seeing me hurt is going to make them second-guess letting me continue. It could’ve been worse, though. Whatever caused the seizure could’ve happened while I was driving and then I could’ve crashed with no one around to help me.

When Landen returns, my heart races and my chest swells with anticipation. I
