HUNTER HAS BEEN on me like a hawk the last few days. He has cooked, cleaned, let me control the remote and what we watch, and even has gone as far as to taking residence up in my bed at night. The worry is still etched all over his face. No matter how many times I remind him I am okay, his concern and fear radiate from him. He reiterates over and over how I am all he has. And the reality is, he is right. He has made some new friends in Savannah, but as far as family goes, his is a waste. They haven’t been in his life for as long as I can remember. Sadly, even in this day and age, people are so closed-minded and don’t subscribe to the notion that love is love. We joke that we are two orphans who have found one another, but the truth in that statement resonates with both of us. And this is why my accident, and him seeing me the way he did, has been so hard on him.

Over the last few days, besides being a mother hen, he has been pestering me with questions about Trystan. He was quite surprised when he came to check on me in the hospital, the morning following my accident, and found me fast asleep in the arms of the man I have been pushing away and avoiding at all costs. Avoidance has been my response but that will not fly for long. If I am being honest with myself, I am not sure what to make of the whole thing. But I can say with absolute certainty, something about being in his arms felt very right. The stars aligned, and for that short period in time, I felt safe.

Speaking of Trystan, today is the day. The day I will be confined in a room with him, for God knows how long. I know the other night at the hospital, we were crammed in a hospital bed together. But there I felt safe. He was more concerned about my well-being and my injuries. Not to say he won’t still be concerned with those things today, but I have an inkling his persistent and domineering ways will make a return. And that makes me nervous. I have butterflies fluttering my belly. Curiosity has also gotten the better of me. Something shifted between us the other night. After being standoffish and closed down to him since my return to Savannah, a few bricks in the wall shielding my heart crumbled. That’s not to say I am not still on guard. Because honestly, I am. My walls are high and have multiple layers of brick and concrete. It is the only way I know to protect my heart. Surviving Trystan once almost broke me completely. A second time would be impossible. Keeping myself busy and not distracted with thoughts of him will be almost impossible for the next few hours.

I have still not been cleared to drive because of my concussion.
