Chapter Eight

Black

Phoenix

I stand looking out the window at Mags’ kitchen knowing she’s not coming back for a while.

I followed them to the hospital and waited in the waiting room to give him a ride back home.

It was six hours before he came out. Well, six hours before I was wakened by a big hand clamping my knee and startling me.

He asked what I was doing and I told him.

He looked shocked I had come and I told him that I adored that woman too.

He took me to her and in her drugged up state she told me to take her boy home and put him to bed. Gage laughed at her words and then told her he wasn’t going to leave her because she needed surgery and if they threw her in jail, she wouldn’t get it.

She fell asleep shortly after that and he sent me home.

I came back the next day and waited with him for her to come out. I actually held his hand. It was awkward at first, he didn’t seem to think so, and it became less so to me very quickly.

She came out of recovery, miserable and ornery, which made him a lot less anxious than he had been while she was under the knife.

I convinced him to go home and shower, get some sleep.

When he came back three hours later, I knew he hadn’t slept at all.

It’s been a week and Gage has been with her every night.

She broke her hip, had surgery, and at her age, things don’t heal fast or easy.

I go down into the city during the day and sit with her so he can leave and work on the property, that damn fence he’s hell bent on building, alone. And also because I miss her like crazy.

She’s miserable to most of them, but not to me and by the smile she gives him when he comes in she’s not to Gage either.

He messages me about an hour after I leave, and at least a couple times throughout the night.

-You good?

I reply.

-Yep. You good?

His reply.

-Yep.

Other than that we don’t talk much. In a sense it’s good. I mean, I don’t feel pressured to give into what he wants. What I know I want more and more every time I look at him.

I step away from the window and grab my cup of coffee off the counter and finish the cup before heading in to shower so I can head to the hospital. They may be transporting Mags to a rehab center today.

Pulling down the dirt road I see Gage pulling in, I move from the middle of the dirt road so he can pass by.

He stops when he gets beside me and I roll down the window.

His aviators are covering his eyes that I assume are red from lack of sleep, his beard needs a trim, and although his hair is totally gorgeous it’s a mess.

“She’s full of piss and vinegar today,” he tells me.

“Are they moving her?”

“They say so. She told them to go to hell.
