Truck watched in frustration as Mary left. She was keeping something from him. Something big. And he hated it. He believed her when she’d said she hadn’t meant to tell the others about his headaches, and he’d already forgiven her for that. But he’d wanted her to explain why she’d felt the need to change the subject earlier.

He wanted to find the nurse Mary had been talking to and demand she tell him about the appointment Mary had missed, but he knew she wouldn’t talk to him. It was frustrating as hell.

“You sure you’re all right?” Ghost asked for the tenth time.

“I’m fine,” Truck said…again. “Enough.”

“It’s been three weeks,” Coach said. “The headaches should be receding.”

“The doc also said there was a chance they wouldn’t. That it would take longer for the bruises on my brain to heal,” Truck told his friend.

“Are you remembering anything more?” Beatle asked.

“Maybe.”

“Maybe?” Blade asked. “What kind of answer is that?”

“An honest one,” Truck said with a chuckle. “I don’t remember anything specific, it’s more like feelings, as if I’ve been somewhere before or done something before.”

“Like?” Ghost asked.

“Like earlier today when I entered this waiting room, it felt as if I’d done it before.”

“You have,” Coach confirmed. “When Kassie had her baby.”

“Right. That’s what Mary said,” Truck agreed. “But it’s more too. Scents are big for me. I can smell something and get an immediate sense of déjà vu. I might hear something and get the same feeling. It’s…odd.”

“It’s good,” Ghost said.

“Yeah, I think so too. Which is why I’m not too concerned about my headaches. They’re really just a nuisance.”

“So why did Mary make such a big deal out of them then?” Blade asked.

“Because she’s worried about me,” Truck said without hesitation. “I honestly don’t think she meant to get me in trouble with you guys, but she missed an appointment of some kind and the nurse was asking her about it. When I asked what the appointment was for, she clammed up, which isn’t like her. She usually has no problem answering my questions, especially when it’s something she knows I’ve forgotten.”

He waited for someone to tell him what he wanted to know—but suddenly everyone was extremely interested in their watch. Or the floor. Or the walls.

Damn it all to hell. He was done with this shit.

“I’m out of here,” Truck told his friends.

“Truck, wait,” Ghost implored.

“I’m sick to death of being kept in the dark about things from my own fucking life. I thought we’d gotten past that shit?”

“It’s not our place to tell you,” Coach said. “It’s Mary’s.”

“It was your place to tell me about your women,” Truck fired back. “But you didn’t do that either. Mary did. Someone tell me. Right fucking now.”

He gave his friends ten uncomfortable seconds, and when no one said anything, Truck shook his head and headed for the door.

He was pissed. Beyond pissed.

A woman was about to enter the room when he stormed out the door, and she squeaked in alarm when she saw him.
