Spencer opened his eyelids, the room blurring in front of him. “What happened?” he whispered to Shane, standing over him, beside a doctor Spencer didn’t recognize. Such concern was on their expressions that Spencer knew something was wrong.

“You either fell or passed out and then hit your head on the way down,” the doctor explained, while still checking Spencer’s head. “And, although you have a hard noggin, you appear to have a concussion.”

“Is that why there are two of you?” Spencer groaned, as the doctor pushed gently on his temple.

“Absolutely. And now you get to spend the next couple days resting. No more rehab therapy and I don’t want you trying to get anywhere for a while, not until this calms down.” He stepped back and glared at Spencer, but his voice was gentle when he added, “Do you understand me?”

Spencer stared at him, trying to comprehend what just happened. Surely the doctor wasn’t serious, was he? “It’s just a small head wound surely?”

“For the moment, but we don’t want that simple injury to become something much worse. So bed rest and under observation all night. No arguments.” With that, he made a few notes on his tablet, then turned and walked out.

Spencer couldn’t believe it. With a side glance at Shane—who was also on his tablet, writing notes himself—Spencer muttered, “Seriously?”

“Absolutely,” Shane declared quietly. “Head wounds can be serious. Do you know what happened?”

He frowned, thinking back. “Honestly no. I think I was in a hurry to get changed and just fell.”

“Why were you in a hurry?”

Heat washed over his face. “To meet Bella in the dining room.”

Shane chuckled. “In that case I understand the urgency, but next time make safety the primary concern.”

“Yeah, I will. I missed my meet-up now I presume.”

Shane smiled. “Absolutely you did. And you won’t be meeting her for a couple days now.”

Spencer muttered a curse word.

But Shane heard it, and, with a full chuckle, he added, “I wouldn’t worry. She’ll be there when you get back on your feet.” And, with that, he left Spencer to his thoughts.

Two days in bed?

No way.

And not after missing an evening with Bella. He needed to get back on his feet and fast.
