CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
Nathan
The moment he arrived home at Borson campus, Eleanor tackled him, eager to hear about his weekend with Ben. They headed straight for his room.
âOh my god, Iâm dying over here. You have to tell me how it went.â She slammed the dorm room door shut behind them.
Nathan chuckled at her enthusiasm. He was lucky to have a friend like Eleanor. âIt was awesome. Sit down, and Iâll tell you everything.â
âGood, and by everything, youâd better mean everything. Donât leave out any of the juicy stuff like you did last time.â She grinned, plopping herself down on his secondhand couch.
Nathan took the desk chair next to her and explained how difficult Ben had been to track down. âImagine being a werewolf at the Vampire Council asking stalker-y questions about their most renowned doctor. It wasnât any use. They werenât inclined to help, so I asked for Luther, but they said he wasnât available. No one bothered to check, though.â
Next, heâd gone to a patient care center. The nurse there had been kind enough to let him know if Dr. Arleth was working, heâd be at his satellite office, not the main branch, so he got back in his truck and headed for the address sheâd given him. At this point, heâd lost quite a bit of time already, and the doctor wasnât at his lab either.
Eleanor chided, âHow many hours did you waste when you could have called him?â
âA lot, but I didnât exactly have much of a plan.â
âThat much is obvious. I donât understand why you didnât call. You could have saved yourself a whole nightâs searching.â
âYouâre not wrong. I thought about it. But I fucked things up so bad over the phone last time I was afraid Iâd do it again.â
âYouâre dumb, Nathan. It would have saved you all that hassle.â
âAnyway, I went to the lab, but they were closing up as I got there. I managed to charm his receptionist, Jeanie, into pointing me toward the Eternal Knight Club, where Ben sometimes goes after work. Seeing as that was my last chance, I went.â
âI canât imagine you at a nightclub.â Eleanor grinned.
âYeah, right? At least this wasnât the crazy loud dancing kind.â
She leaned in. âPlease tell me he was there.â
âHe was there,â Nathan said with a smile.
âUgh, finally. Okay, tell me everything.â
Nathan poured the story out to her in a long, excited rush, telling her about Benâs house, their first date, and just enough about their first time to make himself blush. She listened with a grin, the perfect audience, her happiness for him palpable.
âHereâs the thing I donât understand,â Eleanor said. âHeâs a doctor, a surgeon, no less, but he doesnât spend his time at the hospital. He spends it at a laboratory. What does he do there? Like what, exactly, is his job?â
âOh, I guess itâs classified or something. I didnât really ask about it because heâs not allowed to discuss it,â Nathan said.
âAnd that doesnât weird you out at all?â
âNo. I mean, why should it?â
âI donât know.
