Chapter Fifteen

Bree

I WOKE UP, MY FOOT throbbing on the pillow it was propped up on. I tried to stretch my toes and flinched when the pain from the stitched cut shot up my leg. I was still so pissed at myself. It was the little things that still tripped me up—literally. I was used to walking without really paying attention. Now, everything I did required concentration. I had to move slow. I had to feel out where I was going. I had not done that and now I was bruised and stitched. Painful reminders.

Slowly, I got out of bed and hobbled towards the kitchen in search of coffee. With the K-cups, I could make my own coffee, which was just a little piece of independence. I had insisted Luke go home last night. He had slept in the chair the first night, too afraid to sleep in bed with me. He didn’t want to kick me in the middle of the night.

“Bacon?” I whispered. I slowly walked into the kitchen. “Hello?”

“It’s me,” Luke said.

“What are you doing here?”

“I’m making you breakfast,” he answered.

I smiled. “You didn’t have to do that. I thought you were supposed to be taking it easy today.”

He laughed. “I am. That doesn’t mean we starve. I thought we could hang out, listen to one of those books you have or maybe we can just lay by the pool.”

I found my way to one of the barstools and sat down. “I can’t walk. I can’t see. I have never felt so worthless in all my life.”

“You are not worthless. You’ll be able to walk in a few days. Your cut is in a weird place and we don’t want it to pull. I wish you would have agreed to use a wheelchair for a few days.”

I groaned. “No. Absolutely not.”

“Fine, but you have to take it easy. Do you want eggs?”

I slowly shook my head. “I’m not hungry. I will take coffee, though.”

“You need to eat,” he lectured. “You especially need to eat with your meds. You don’t want that cut getting infected.”

“Fine, I’ll have some bacon.”

“Who says there is bacon?” he teased.

“Don’t forget my heightened senses,” I said, with a laugh.

“Bacon and some toast,” he bargained.

“You are not my nurse today,” I warned.

“I’m your friend and I’m telling you that you need to eat. You have to keep your strength up.”

“For?”

“If you want to have that surgery, you have to be in good health. Ellis is thorough. If she suspects you are sick or struggling, she’s going to postpone.”

I tried to roll my eyes. “Stop. It’s a stupid cut. I’m not sick.”

“You have to be strong in all ways. She told you that. She told you those first few weeks following the surgery are going to be taxing. You have to be in fighting form and ready to kick ass. Consider me your trainer. I’m sending my prized fighter into the ring and I want you ready.”

I forced a laugh. “That’s quite the analogy.”

“Eggs or toast?” he said, not giving me a way out.
