Chapter Seventeen

Grace

The nurse leaned over me, placing a blanket over my legs. “I need a blanket for this?” I asked.

She smiled as she looked up and pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose. “Well, if you’re not cold yet, you will be. These rooms are freezing.”

“Oh, okay. How long will this take?”

Turning away, she tapped on a few keys on the laptop on a rolling computer stand with a stool attached. With her eyes on the screen, she replied, “It depends.”

“Will I be able to get my results today?”

She looked my way finally. “If Dr. Canton is available when we’re done, yes.”

“You won’t be able to tell me?”

Her mouth twisted to the side. “Sorry, but no. We’re not supposed to interpret the results.”

“Even if you have an opinion?”

She smiled. “Even if I have an opinion.”

I took a deep breath, letting it out with a sigh. “I sure hope Dr. Canton is available.”

“She’s definitely here, and she told us to come get her when we’re done. The only thing that might interfere is if an emergency comes up. That’s why we can’t make any promises.”

She leaned her hips against the stool, her eyes looking to the clock situated above the door, almost in line with my feet where I lay on the cool table. Angling my head back, I eyed the round tube I was about to enter.

I was starting to fret inside, worrying that Boone had somewhere he needed to be. I hadn’t even thought to ask him if he needed to go to work or had anywhere else to be. Rolling my head to the side, I asked the nurse, “Is it possible somebody could check with my friend? I just realized that I don’t know if he needs to be back at a certain time, and I have no idea how long this might take.”

“Of course. I’ll go check with the receptionist right now.”

“That’d be great. Thanks.”

After she disappeared from the room, my mind started to squirrel about, grabbing little things to be anxious about, like whether I’d remembered to schedule Wayne’s annual vet appointment. That was a better option than worrying about brain cancer. I refused to vocalize that fear out loud out of superstition that would make it come to fruition.

My mind spun to the drive here with Boone. After his cautious questions, I turned the radio up and told him I wanted to be distracted. He went along with it, even belting out one of our old favorite songs with me.

I was smiling to myself when the nurse returned. “I spoke to him personally because the receptionist was on the phone. He said to stop worrying about it, he can wait as long as you need him to wait. And honey,” she said, her brows hitching up, “your boyfriend is definitely easy on the eyes.”

I opened my mouth to explain he wasn’t exactly my boyfriend, but thought better of it. I didn’t need to be getting into details about Boone right before I had my head examined.
