Ryan brought me back to my apartment in his car and helped me inside. It was hard to deny something was going on between the two of us when Ryan was practically carrying me into my apartment.

Rose woke up but didn’t say anything until Ryan was about to leave. She seemed pretty awestruck to have Ryan standing in our apartment at almost midnight on a Sunday evening.

“What’s wrong with her?” Rose asked.

“I think she probably ate something that didn’t agree with her. Find some Tylenol and let her rest. She should be fine.”

I hadn’t felt all that bad, but the fever was the worst part. I took some Tylenol and lay down on my bed.

“I probably won’t feel well enough to come to court tomorrow,” I said as I hoped he would just let me not go.

“Jennifer, I need you there tomorrow. It is so important that we are both there to show a united front for Calvertino.”

It was hard as hell to fight off Ryan. When he wanted something, I could tell that he normally got it. His piercing blue eyes looked into mine and his smile hypnotized me. In the heat of my fever, I was no match for him.

“Well, maybe I’ll be feeling better tomorrow.”

“You will, I’ll come get you before court. I need you to soften up our defense bench a little. It is well known that a judge has an easier time saying no to an appeal when the defense attorney is male. By adding you to the mix, we are giving Calvertino the best shot at getting his appeal.”

“You know he is going to leave the country the second he gets his appeal. Why would you help him? It is going to ruin you!”

I couldn’t hold back my thoughts at all. I didn’t want Ryan to throw away his whole career and I couldn’t figure out why he was so willing to help this man. Maybe it was my fever that gave me the courage to speak up or maybe I was just delirious from food poisoning, but I couldn’t sit quietly anymore. I had to tell him my thoughts.

Ryan just smiled at me and pressed my hair away from my forehead. He didn’t seem shocked by my revelation and he didn’t respond specifically to what I had said.

“Don’t worry, everything will be alright.”

Ryan leaned down and kissed my forehead before making his way to the front door. He stood there for a minute and looked at me before he smiled and walked out of the apartment.

I turned to Rose because I knew she would have tons of things to add about what just happened. I held my finger up to my mouth to quiet her. I felt too horrible to deal with her and her questions. All I wanted to do was get some sleep. Especially if I was going to have to get up in the morning and get myself ready for court.

Rose had a million questions she wanted to ask me I could tell.
