Chapter Twenty-Four

The elevator door opened, and Rem almost skipped off. Already missing Mikey after he’d dropped her off at her car in the hospital parking lot, he turned down the hall and headed toward Daniels’ room.

The morning with Mikey had been magical. They’d slept late and awakened in each other’s arms with the same need as before and after satisfying each other fully and collapsing into sweaty sheets, they’d jumped into a quick, but pleasurable shower together. Afterward, Rem threw his sheets and towels into the laundry, made a big breakfast and a full pot of coffee and ravenous, they’d eaten like they’d never had dinner.

Cleaning up, they’d started kissing again and probably would have ended up back in bed if Mikey hadn’t been the stronger of the two and reminded him that she was three hours late for work and still needed to go home and change clothes. Reluctantly, he’d given in, and they’d dressed and headed to the hospital.

They’d agreed that Rem would visit Daniels and after Rem left, he’d pick Mikey up at Mason’s and they’d either have dinner or they’d go back to his place, order pizza and feast on each other. Rem already knew what his vote would be.

Smiling as he recalled his unforgettable night and not paying attention, he stopped short when he almost bumped into Elana Daniels as she left Daniels’ room.

“Hello, Aaron,” she said.

“Hi, Elana. How is he this morning?” He hadn’t heard from Marjorie, and he wondered if Daniels had shown any additional signs of waking up. Since his dinner with Mikey, he hadn’t thought about much else and now he felt guilty. “Any progress?”

She let the door close behind her and, eyeing the officer standing at the door, she stepped away. “Not much I’m afraid. Poor Marjorie is worried.”

The magical world he’d escaped to faded as the real world intruded. “About what?”

Elana adjusted the purse strap on her shoulder. “She got her hopes up after Gordon showed signs of improvement. She was positive he’d wake up today, but he hasn’t. Now she’s concerned he’s getting worse although the doctor told her there’s no indication of that.”

Rem understood Marjorie’s impatience and need to talk to her husband. “Did the doctor give an updated timetable for when Daniels might gain consciousness?”

“Not really. He said these things vary. We couldn’t pin him down on anything. He didn’t seem worried, although he would like to take Gordon back into surgery soon.”

“If he wants to do that, then Daniels must be getting stronger, otherwise he wouldn’t do the surgery.”

“I agree. I told that to Marjorie, but she’s still upset.”

“I’ll talk to her.”

She patted his arm. “Good. I think that will help. If I know anything about Gordon, it’s that nobody can force him to do anything if he’s not ready yet.”

“That’s the truth.”

She checked her watch. “I’ve got to get to my massage appointment, but I’ll be back tomorrow. Have a good visit.” She studied him. “Did you have a little massage yourself? Your face is all flushed.
