Chapter Eleven

Laurel didn’t think Grady would ever make any sense to her. He should be relieved. He should be skipping out of the hospital room. Free.

But he was fuming. Fuming.

“Clint isn’t a part of it,” she repeated. Maybe the concussion was making it hard for him to think straight or understand everything properly. “Which means I don’t need your help anymore. At least, there’s no reason for you to help me. Your brother is in the clear. Probably.”

“You really don’t think I have a reason to still be involved in this?” Grady asked incredulously.

“Well—”

“Someone hit me over the head with a shoe and gave me a concussion. It could have been a lot worse, too. So, I am going to be a part of bringing him down.”

“Grady,” she began, doing her best to find a reasonable tone.

“Do not argue with me, princess. I am in this now. No one knocks me out and gets away with it. I’ve got a little revenge to enact.”

“My job isn’t about revenge. It’s about justice, so you wanting revenge can’t—”

“Consider my revenge justice. Now—”

A knock sounded at the door and an older woman in nurse’s scrubs stepped in. “I have your discharge papers, Mr. Carson.” She smiled pleasantly at Laurel. “And good, you have someone who can drive you home.”

Laurel opened her mouth to argue. She should not be driving him home. He needed to call one of his cousins, or his sister or even Clint. Anyone who was not her.

She needed some distance from Grady. No matter if he had revenge or justice on the brain. She had let herself be compromised by all his irritating goading and charming smiles and that kiss, and she had done things she knew went against protocol.

Laurel never went against protocol.

But Grady flashed the nurse a charming smile. “Yes, I got myself a ride home. Now let’s get me out of here.”

“We just have to go over some paperwork, I’ll need a signature, then you’ll be free.” Again the nurse turned to Laurel. “Will you be staying with Mr. Carson overnight?” she asked innocently.

Grady grinned. “Yeah, I think she owes me that.”

Again Laurel opened her mouth to protest, but there was no point in arguing in front of the nurse. There was no point in arguing, period. Grady would get her to do what he wanted. He always seemed to.

So, she would get him home to the Carson Ranch. The other Carsons would kick her out so fast her head would spin, and the fact that idea disappointed her was reason enough to go through it. She needed a Grady-ectomy and stat.

“Here is a list of symptoms you may have for the next few weeks,” the nurse said, handing Grady one of the sheets of papers she’d brought in. “You should avoid driving for at least twenty-four hours and tonight, if you’re sleeping, you should be woken up every two hours to make sure you’re responsive. All of these papers have information on how to deal
