THE NEXT TIME I awake, I’m alone. But the warmth of the bed beside me tells me that Damon was just here.

I didn’t have any nightmares, and I know it’s because feeling him by my side kept them at bay.

My bedroom door opens, and I expect Damon to enter, but instead a man with a stethoscope around his neck walks in. He’s tall and older with dark hair that’s gray around the temples. He has kind, gray eyes and a gentle smile.

“Hello, Victoria. I’m Dr. Warner. I’ve been taking care of you ever since your…ordeal,” he says after pausing to search for the right word to use.

Ordeal isn’t exactly how I would describe what I went through, however. I would say I survived a trip to Hades itself and back again.

“Is it okay if I examine you? I’d like to listen to your lungs and check your vitals.”

“Sure,” I utter.

The next several minutes are spent with Dr. Warner asking me to take deep breaths, which is extremely difficult to do, and him taking my blood pressure and temperature.

“You’re doing a lot better,” he says, giving me a kind smile. “I think we can even take out this IV and start giving you oral antibiotics and medicine as needed for pain.”

He goes to his medical bag on a chair in the corner of the room and comes back with some alcohol swabs, gauze and tape. I turn my head as he goes to work on removing the IV and taping me up.

“Thank you,” I tell him.

“You’re welcome,” he says before gathering up the used materials and throwing them away. “If you need anything, I’m just down the hall. And I’ll make sure the staff knows what medicine to give you with your meals.”

So the doctor is living in the house, probably on call twenty-four-seven. And I assume he’s taking care of both me and my father, so I decide to ask him, “How’s my father? Is he doing all right now that he’s home?”

Dr. Warner furrows his brow. “I think that’s something that you and Mr. Romero should discuss. I’m afraid I’m not privy to that information,” he tells me before leaving the room.

His words stay with me for a long time after he leaves. Once again, I feel like I’m being kept in the dark about something. But what?

Maybe my father hired his own doctor or team since his injuries were so serious.

That’s the only plausible thing I can come up with right now. And since Damon said we’ll talk about everything when I’m better, I’ll just add it to my ever-growing list of questions.
