Chapter Nineteen

“Luna?” A couple of hours later, Keegan’s head shoots up.

“How are you feeling?” I sit on the edge and once again feel his forehead. Then I reach for more meds on the nightstand and hand them to him along with a glass of water.

“You’re still here.” Keegan sits up.

“I’m not going anywhere,” I say.

“You really don’t—”

“I know, I know.” I wave him off. “You can quit trying to get rid of me, though. I’m staying.”

His face softens. “Thanks, Luna.”

“Plus,” I say. “I need to feed you.”

I leave the room, warm up the soup, and bring it to him. “This is the best soup you’ll ever have.”

“You got me soup?” He studies the bowl in my hands as if he doesn’t believe me.

“And a few other groceries as well,” I say. “Your fridge was pretty bare.”

“You didn’t have to,” Keegan says.

Keegan spoons the soup into his mouth as I look on. His coloring is already starting to improve, as some pink has started to form on his cheeks.

“When I was young,” Keegan says between spoonfuls. “No matter what I was sick with, my mom would make me homemade soup and let me have a can of Sprite.”

“It’s okay to ask for help, you know.” I bend my knee and tuck my foot underneath. “You don’t have to go at things alone all the time.”

Keegan slowly blinks. “Asking for help isn’t a strong suit of mine.”

“Can I draw you a bath?” I ask. “Get you into some clean clothes?”

“No bath,” Keegan says. “Sitting in my filth and sweat does not sound appealing to me.”

I chuckle at this. “Fine. But you should go shower, and I will change your sheets.”

Keegan nods and then looks at my outfit. “Sheets are in the linen closet in the hallway. And feel free to go through my clothes and put on something more comfortable.”

Keegan goes to his ensuite bathroom, shuts the door, and a steady stream of water turns on. I strip the bedding and throw it in the washer, and make up Keegan’s bed. I go back to his room and do a little snooping. His top drawer is filled with perfectly folded underwear and athletic socks. The next drawer down is full of cotton shirts. I smile as I see one from Cherry that says Mathletics across the front. I decide to put that one on, then grab a pair of scrub bottoms, and cinch them tightly around my waist.

The shower is still running, so I explore the rest of his place. The library is beautiful, with two blue velvet chaises pointed in the direction of the books. There are so many of them on floor-to-ceiling shelves. I run my hand along the spines of his countless anatomy textbooks.

Then I stroll to the kitchen, which is a chef’s dream. The island is massive and opens up to the inviting living room. I walk over look out a window and take a deep breath. If I lived here, I’d never leave. I heat more soup for Keegan and grab an orange from the bowl on the island to bring to him.
