CHAPTER FIVE

THE NEXT MORNING, Wesley detected an extra sparkle in Mary’s eye when she showed up in the gym. He hoped it had something to do with all the kisses they’d been sharing, but he was on task and didn’t wait to find out.

“Let’s skip the gym exercises for now, okay?” he said. “I’ve got some things I want to show you.”

That totally captured her interest and, instead of disappearing, the sparkle brightened. “Such as?”

“Get out your laptop.”

She pushed a small table toward his wheelchair, then brought a chair to sit on. Digging into that overgrown shoulder bag, she dug out her laptop.

“I want you to have a look at this.” He took charge, booting it up, and soon clicked on the video he’d discovered about a doctor who’d become a paraplegic and designed a special wheelchair so he could continue to perform surgeries. The accompanying article showed how the electric wheelchair could elevate to a standing position with support around the chest and on the legs above and below the knees.

Mary studied the contraption carefully.

“I wondered how healthy it might be, staying in that position for long hours performing brain surgery. How it might affect my breathing and circulation. But the idea of being able to do procedures is a game changer.” For emphasis, he played a short video with the guy doing an orthopedic procedure.

“Amazing what someone can do with motivation,” she said.

He took it as though she’d just questioned his, and immediately got defensive. “I went back to work too soon, there wasn’t a contraption on the earth that could’ve helped me.” He’d had the misfortune of running into Giselle his first day back and what he’d seen in her eyes hadn’t been sympathy but pity. She’d wanted to help push him down the hospital corridor, and he’d hated her for it. He’d miscalculated so many things about returning to work, like leg spasms and patients caring more about his condition than their own. Even the logistics of performing a simple examination had tripped him up.

The week-long experience had been humiliating and he’d never felt that way in his life before. He’d hated every second of it, had gone home and never wanted to open his door to the outside world again. Good thing he was a guy who got bored with wallowing quickly, and buried his feelings behind barbells and weight machines.

“Wow. With something like this, nothing can stop you from picking up your career and carrying on with your life.”

He understood why she held him accountable for his future, it really was all up to him. Her belief in him felt hopeful, and he was grateful for that, so he smiled. “I know.”

“And we’re on the same page!” Instead of gloating, which he’d expected her to do, she reached back into her bag of goodies and produced a deck of cards. For some crazy reason her doing something so off the wall tickled him, but he donned a poker face until he could figure out where she was going with the prop.
