CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Addy had asked Trisha earlier to help her unwrap her hands. She needed to stretch them, and the bandages were suffocating her. Well, okay, not actually suffocating her, but it was driving her nuts that she couldn’t move her fingers individually. She’d expected that she would be able to rewrap any fingers separately that still needed it.

However, when she looked down at her swollen digits, she realized the task was too great for her alone. Gail and Trisha helped her clean and rebandage several fingers.

At least now she could hold a fork and a glass all by herself.

Several of her fingers were . . . gross. Not only were her hands and fingers crisscrossed with large red gashes, but they were swollen. Dark bruises covered most of the skin.

She had seen the stitches on three cuts: one just below her thumb joint, the second near her elbow on the same side, and the third spot, the largest gash, on her right knee, which was the reason she was walking so stiffly.

On the rest of her, the cuts ranged from scratches to glued-up lines that she knew would hardly leave scars.

It was the bruising that turned her skin a nasty dark color and hurt more than most of the cuts. She’d taken a Tylenol after breakfast instead of a codeine, which had allowed her to stay clearheaded.

Shortly after Trent had left that morning, she’d called Beau and filled him in on what had happened. Beau was worried about her, and it took half of the conversation to convince him that she was okay. Then she’d called her insurance and given them the information they needed along with the phone number for the police station so they could work directly with them.

She’d been so tired after all those calls that she’d rested and slept deeply until her phone chimed a message from her parents’ number.

She sat up and debated listening to the voice mail for almost five full minutes before swiping her screen and deleting it without listening.

They were done with her. She was done with them. Period.

She knew that a lot of her trust issues with Trent were thanks to her own parents’ rough marriage. She couldn’t imagine ever wanting anything close to what they had and, since she’d been a child, she’d believed that all marriages fell into that same pattern.

Addy didn’t have any more room in her broken heart to ache for them. She knew that whatever her mother had to say would have just upset her, and she’d had enough of that in the past day.

She actually felt better for it.

After stuffing herself with Hawaiian pizza at lunch, she sat in the living room and listened as Trent filled them in on what was going on at the police station. The family then talked about whether they should move their uncle to the specialty facility or not. He didn’t have insurance, which meant it would fall to the McGowans to pay for his long-term care.

Gail was looking into further possibilities closer to home.
