CHAPTER EIGHT

The days blurred into each other. Dare’s condition continued to improve. Jenny wrote while he slept or had appointments with various therapists, but she was relieved to be at the start of a new story and not on deadline. Daily calls with Missy reminded Jenny there was life outside of the hospital and kept her on track with to-do items she could check off the list. Brief visits to the hotel gave hints at the sights San Antonio had to offer, but Jenny didn’t want to play tourist. She preferred being with Dare. He seemed to feel the same way.

He liked falling asleep with his hand on hers. Whenever he woke, the first thing he did was look for her. Knowing how much he wanted her to be with him gave her a rush.

Not that they’d done anything other than hold hands, but she was learning more about him each day. His favorite color was blue—the same color of his gorgeous eyes. He loved watching football. He ate hot dogs with mustard and relish. Christmas was his favorite holiday.

When she returned to the hospital after a quick trip to her hotel, Jenny couldn’t wait to find out how Dare had done at physical therapy. She walked into the room and found him sipping water from a straw. Squatchy sat against the pillow.

“Where’s your mom?” Jenny asked.

“Coffee break. She’s addicted.”

Susan did like her coffee.

Dare was smiling. His bruises had faded to a yellow color. Some of the scratches had healed. The stubble on his face gave him a sexy, bad-boy edge. “Guess what?”

“You saw a UFO,” she joked.

“Better.”

“Better than a UFO?” She set her purse next to the chair. “I’m all ears.”

“I got to talk to one of my guys. Ethan Humphreys. Nice kid from Peoria, Illinois. He’s recovering and should be heading home soon.”

The relief and happiness in Dare’s voice made Jenny feel warm all over. She reached out and touched his hand. “I’m so glad to hear that.”

Dare nodded. “Lee Yang is already home, so that just leaves Carlos Garcia. I haven’t been able to talk to him. Humphreys told me Carlos was messed up bad.”

She gave Dare a squeeze. Between his leg, hip, and arm injuries, he couldn’t get around in narrow or small spaces. “You’ll see Carlos once you’re up and about.”

“I’m going to keep asking until they get tired of saying no and let me in.”

“I’m sure you could sweet talk a nurse.”

He raised a brow. “You think?”

“Definitely.”

“I’m not much of a charmer, but I might have to give that a try for Carlos’ sake.”

Dare oozed charm, but she loved that he didn’t realize it. “How did PT go?”

He set the cup on the bed tray. “I’m still limited with what I can do, but those surgeons managed to save my leg. I’m going to show my gratitude by working my butt off to recover ASAP.”

He sounded determined. She gazed at his arms, the only parts other than his neck and head not covered. “You look fit to me.
