Good news: we settled out of court. Your chivalry apparently convinced the lawyers that her claims weren’t legitimate. Her case was just falling apart. You saved me, my charming friend, and I owe you—big. Get well soon, Janelle Xxoo

“From one of my many admirers.”

I smiled as he turned to the shelf, resting the only bouquet where I could see it.

“Ah, the only one, apparently.”

He took the same seat as all the others had, and let his head drop to his chest.

Our eyes met, and I noticed that his eyes were welling up. He reached for my hand.

“Says the man with a head injury and several broken bones.”

“Well, when you put it like that…”

A corner of his mouth lifted and a partial smile appeared. He had been my rock and my sidekick ever since we were little. I understood his concerns. If the situation were flipped, I would feel the exact same.

“I’ll be fine, Ben. I just need a little time.”

“Okay, big brother. I’ll stop by the house this week. Can I bring you anything?”

“Yes, a new Audi R8. Maybe red this time.”

We smiled at that and he left.

They came at me in waves. I must have yelled out once during the night, because it woke me. I found myself both sweating and shivering. Alone in the dark, the only sound was that damn monitor, beeping. Then the nurse arrived and checked me over, helping me calm my breathing. She tried to reassure me that I was alright, but morning was still a long way off. When I finally closed my eyes and surrendered to the night, it took me violently.

But I welcomed dawn. Its arrival meant I was going home.
