Chapter fourteen

Trevor

Iguided Amelia through her front door, wrestling with her crutches and the narrowness of the hallway. Each wince and pained hop sent a fresh stab of guilt through my chest. This was all my fault. If only I hadn't suggested that dang hike.

"Watch out for the--" Amelia started to warn me, but it was too late. The crutch caught on the edge of a side table, nearly sending us both sprawling. I tightened my grip on her waist, steadying her.

"Sorry, sorry," I muttered, my face heating. Some rescuer I was turning out to be. Finally, we made it to the living room couch. I arranged the pillows, gently helping Amelia elevate her swollen ankle. She sighed in relief as she sank back against the cushions.

"I'll make us some tea," I said, needing a moment to collect myself. Amelia nodded gratefully, reaching for her phone as I headed to the kitchen. I put the tea kettle on and waited for the water to boil.

It had been a long 24 hours. When the rain had let up, and it got light outside, I carried Amelia the rest of the way down the mountain. Susan picked Amelia up to drive her to the doctor. I rode my motorcycle home and got Amelia’s car so that I could meet them there and bring Amelia home. Thankfully, she just had a sprained ankle, and the doctor said to stay off of it for a few days and keep it iced.

The tea tray clattered slightly as I carried it back to the living room, setting it carefully on the coffee table. Amelia flashed me a smile as she ended the call.

"Emily says hi," she said teasingly. "And she wanted me to ask - what exactly are your intentions with her poor invalid sister-in-law?"

I nearly choked on my tea. Leave it to Emily to cut right to the chase. "Ah... I think my current intention is to avoid further injuring you. And make you as comfortable as possible.”

"Lucky me, I have my very own knight in shining armor." Her eyes danced despite the pain she must have been in.

"At your service, my lady." I gave her a little mock bow, grinning. "Foot elevation and tea delivery included."

Amelia snorted with laughter as she reached for her mug. "Oh yes, such knightly duties. Forget slaying dragons. It's all about that tea service."

I feigned shock, clutching my chest dramatically. "Are you suggesting my tea isn't up to knightly standards?"

"Of course not," she giggled, sipping her tea. "You brew a mean chamomile, Sir Trevor."

I couldn't help the warm feeling that spread through my chest as we laughed. I was glad that Amelia was still in high spirits despite the accident.

"Do you wanna watch a show?" Amelia asked after

a few minutes of comfortable silence, her fingers tracing idly around the rim of her tea mug.

“Sounds good,” I replied, reaching for the remote, “Your pick.”

"How about a bit of 'Gardening Unleashed’? The competitors must do a DIY project using unconventional materials in a day.
