18 Chris Chris bang bang

Chris wandered back into consciousness. His first thought was that he had a nasty flu. His head pounded, his mouth was dry, he was a little giddy, and his bedroom light was unbearably bright.

He squeezed his eyes open. ‘Mom?’ he said to the blurred human shape above him.

‘Shh,’ she said. ‘Lie still. You’ve got a bastard of an untreated concussion.’

‘Roz?’ he muttered.

‘Yes.’

‘Oh Goddess,’ he said, suddenly realizing where he was.

‘Am I okay? Are you okay?’

‘Don’t try to sit up, you idiot!’ She pushed him back down, the heel of her hand pushing into his naked chest, but he grabbed hold of her and hung onto her.

‘Oh Goddess,’ he said again. ‘I’m sorry, I can’t think properly. Oh, Roz, they were going to cut me up!’

‘It’s okay,’ she grumbled. ‘You’re all right now. Hey?

You’re all right.’

‘I’m sorry,’ he said. He was starting to cry, the panic he’d been forcing down coming out of nowhere. Bright lights flashed inside his head when he moved. ‘I’m sorry,’ he gasped. She was so strong that he could feel the steel of her muscles as she held onto him, awkwardly. ‘I’m so sorry.’

‘Quit that.’ She took his face between her hands. ‘You’ll be all right. Just calm down.’

‘Thank you,’ he babbled. ‘Thank you for coming and rescuing me.’

‘Just stop it, Chris. You’re okay now, for Christ’s sake!’

He couldn’t help it. He grabbed hold of her and kissed her.

She made a muffled, outraged sound, and kissed him right back.

She tasted like rosemary and gunpowder.

Somewhere in the middle of it, he lost consciousness again.
