A Little Bit Of Comfort

The next night Tommy was tucked in bed at Ryder’s on the lower bunk, passed out cold. She’d fed him a turkey sandwich and some soup that Payton had dropped over for them. There was plenty of food for a few days, sandwiches and soups for Tommy to eat along with a few salads and some cookies and donuts. Good thing Tommy didn’t see them or he’d want them right away and she was finding she didn’t want to deny him much.

Everything was going well, Tommy was doing great and not in a huge amount of pain, but they were still giving him some pain meds along with high doses of antibiotics. She knew it might be a long couple of weeks while Tommy recovered. Or more like while she tried to get him to slow down to not hurt himself.

But she wouldn’t be alone this week.

She had work to do and could do it remotely while Tommy rested. Sam even said he’d stop over tomorrow since he only lived a mile away and to call him for anything at any time. This wasn’t special treatment as much as it was the Fierce family taking care of their own.

Her mother had even called her this morning to see how Tommy was doing and to say she had a good time with Ryder’s parents out to eat but didn’t say much more. She tried to get information out of Cody, but he said it was fine and there wasn’t much to say.

It was better than if they asked her how it went with staying in that room with Ryder. How she and Ryder were sitting on the bed watching TV together and she’d planned on moving to the recliner to sleep but never got the chance.

Nope, she dozed off with the TV on and at some point in the middle of the night, the nurse came in to check on Tommy and give him more pain meds, and she was on her side with Ryder’s arm around her waist.

They both realized it at the same time, her jumping up and moving off the bed and over to the recliner, taking a blanket with her.

Was it as comfortable as staying there with Ryder’s arm around her? Hell no. But she wasn’t about to do it again and give him any ideas.

“I’m exhausted,” Ryder said when she walked into the living room. He was watching TV with his feet on the ottoman. They were both in shorts and barefoot and she found she was more comfortable in his house than she’d thought she’d be.

“I know. There is such relief that it is over with. Or I hope so at least.”

“I think so,” he said. “Sam is great. He’ll keep an eye on Tommy. As long as his liver functions are back up and everything is working well, Tommy should make a complete recovery. You heard Sam.”

“I did. Now I just need to make sure Tommy doesn’t hurt himself while he’s recovering.
