Chapter Fourteen

Candy

Once Colin left the exam room, Candy released the breath she’d been holding. She must’ve been visibly upset because Dr. Hayes eyed her with concern etched in the lines on her forehead. Candy squeezed out a smile, trying to look optimistic despite the throbbing pain in her face. She couldn’t believe Colin had snuck back to see her and even lied in the process. In what world did he think she’d be okay with that? His presence only served to add to her discomfort.

Dr. Hayes took a seat on the black plastic chair next to the bed and pinched her thin lips together. She gave Candy a quick onceover, paying special attention to the bruise on her cheek. With a gentle voice, she remarked, “I know you said these injuries were a result of an accident, but I do need to ask you this question. Is someone hurting you, Ms. Connelly? Rest assured that this is a safe place for you to tell me.”

Candy’s brows shot up as she understood the implication behind Dr. Hayes’s question. She immediately shook her head. “This was an accident, believe me. No one, least of all Colin, would hurt me. He’s as harmless as they come.”

Dr. Hayes relaxed considerably. “So, you really were running on the beach and tripped and crashed into some driftwood?”

“Yes. I should’ve been looking where I was going, but I wasn’t really thinking straight at the time.” Her fingers subconsciously went to her mouth, touching the spot where she could almost still sense the warmth from Colin’s lips. Heat rushed up her neck to her cheeks at the memory of their kiss. It had been wonderful, she had to admit that. So wonderful that she’d allowed herself to enjoy it.

But no more.

Being around Colin made her reckless, so reckless that she’d gotten herself hurt. She didn’t want to imagine what other regrettable things she might do because of him. It was time to set some firm boundaries, once and for all. No more emotions and no more playing around. And definitely no more throwing herself at his mouth. At least her facial injury prevented her from kissing anyone anytime soon. That was a small blessing in disguise.

“Well, thankfully your injuries weren’t worse,” Dr. Hayes continued. “It’s a good thing your friend was there to help you.”

“He wasn’t with me at the time, but he found me soon after. He really did try to help, but—it’s a long story.” She sighed, not knowing how to explain their situation. “Colin and I are like oil and vinegar—we might go well together, but we just don’t mix.”

Dr. Hayes cocked her head of frizzy blonde hair to the side and smirked. “Well, whatever it’s worth, I think you have a good man there.”

Candy bristled at Dr. Hayes’s comment. If she hadn’t known better, she would’ve thought Colin had put the doctor up to this. “I appreciate your input, but it’s a complicated matter.”

She nodded and stuck her hands into the pockets of her white jacket.
