CHAPTER 11

Monday morning finally arrived—the day Micha had told her she could get out of the hospital—and Zaire felt on pins and needles as she waited for him to do his rounds and actually sign her release papers.

The nurse had woken her at five when she came in to check on her, and Zaire had been too thrilled about getting out to go back to sleep. But now it was nearing noon, and Micha still hadn’t showed up.

She had a business to run, and every moment that she was stuck in here was a moment when she was losing business.

She fidgeted and pressed the call button.

While she waited, she thought over the events of the past two days.

Landon had stayed with her pretty much every minute that the hospital staff would let him. Saturday evening, they’d been watching TV when a nurse had bustled in and told him he had to leave. Landon had tried to fight it, pointing out that he’d been allowed to sleep on a cot in her room the evening before and that Dr. Stanton had said it was okay.

But the nurse had only plunked her hands on her hips and given him a “don’t sass me, boy” look. “That was before we all knew you two were divorced. Only family is allowed to stay in the room. Hospital policy.”

“But Dr. Stanton—”

“Is new and hasn’t yet familiarized himself with our policies.” Her tone left no room for argument and Landon had buttoned his lips after that, obviously not wanting to get Micha in any trouble.

Zaire had run a low-grade fever through the night on Saturday, but by Sunday morning, it had been gone again and the nurse looked relieved. “Apparently, those antibiotics are doing their job.” She’d patted the bag of medicine that hung form Zaire’s IV pole like she was patting a dog on the head for a job well done.

The new Riversong police officer—Phoenix Reardon, he said his name was—had showed up first thing, asked her a few questions, and then told her he was ruling her fall an accident. She’d thanked him and tried to go back to sleep, but had been too annoyed by the constant beeping of a machine that sounded like it was under her pillow, but was obviously one or two doors down.

Landon had showed up mid-morning and quietly asked her if she would mind if he did a Bible study with her, since she was missing church.

Her first thought had been a bit skeptical. Was he really interested in doing Bible study with her? Or was he just feeling bad that she was lying here in the hospital all alone?

But he’d been so sincere in his comments on the passages, that she’d had to repent of her skepticism by the time they concluded their study on the faith-filled people listed in the eleventh chapter of Hebrews. They’d chosen that topic, because it was what Pastor was preaching on at church that morning, according to the church website.

Mom and Dad had come to the hospital after church.
