Chapter Eleven

Violet Driscoll

AFTER HE DELIVERS THE best news I’ve heard in a long time, the orthopedic surgeon excuses himself. Hazel has been moved from the ER wing and is now resting comfortably in a regular room. Amazingly, she has no broken bones. According to the doctor, there is some deep-tissue bruising that will heal over the course of a few weeks.

He has ordered over-the-counter analgesics for the soreness. However, he won’t be releasing her until tomorrow. Since she bumped her head on the wall as she was falling, he thinks it best to keep Hazel overnight for observation. Apparently, a knock on the noggin can be more serious for older folks.

While she snoozes, I fill out the cafeteria card for her lunch and dinner order. Just as I finish circling a selection in the dessert section, my phone vibrates. When I see the caller ID, a smile breaks across my face so big and wide it’s almost painful.

Before I can make a sound, Rhett roars, “Where the hell are you?”

“At the hospital,” I say, knowing that short snippet of info will back his attitude-infused ass down quick enough.

“Shit. Are you okay? Never mind, I’m on my way.”

The panic and intense concern I hear in his voice makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. I wasn’t wrong. He does care about me. “I’m fine, Rhett. Stay at school. I’m here with Hazel, the elderly neighbor I told you about. She had a nasty fall.”

“Thank God! I mean, I’m not thankful she fell. I’m just so damn glad you’re all right.”

I giggle. “I knew what you meant. Do you miss me?”

“Like fucking crazy. When I didn’t see the Subaru in the parking lot, I nearly lost my mind.”

“I’m confused. You’re only now noticing I’m not there. Your class started nearly half an hour ago.”

“I know. It’s a long story but a good one with a fantastic ending. I can’t wait to tell you all about it.”

“I can’t wait either, but I probably won’t see you until tomorrow morning.”

“Why? Is Hazel so bad off you can’t leave her?”

“No, she’s doing pretty well. Luckily, there were no fractures. She’s sleeping now.”

“In that case, get your beautiful butt back here.”

“I can’t. I rode to the hospital with her in the back of the ambulance. I don’t have my car or any cash for a taxi.”

“Damn it, Violet! I knew you needed money. Did you make out a list of bills like I told you to?”

“No.”

He growls low and deep in my ear, sending shivers of unadulterated desire straight to the heart of my most sacred lady part before saying, “Give me the address to the hospital. I’m sending someone to pick you up.”

“Who?”

“My buddy Hawk. He’ll take you back to your house so you can get your car and come on to school. If you make it by your next class, you’ll get credit for the day instead of an absence.”

“What if I refuse to go with him?”

“I’ll finish giving you the spanking I started yesterday.
