I grab the flowers from the passenger seat and shake my head. I don't know why I'm in trouble, but by the way she blew in and blew out of the hospital earlier, I'm in shit up to my knees.

I knock at the front door and try to fix the handle that slips every time I tighten it.

She pulls open the door and gives me a weak smile before pushing it open all the way. "Hey, you. Come on in."

When she turns her back to head in, I grab her from behind and hold the flowers in front of her, kissing her jaw. "I'm sorry." I know why I'm apologizing, but I don't think I should have to.

"Me too," she mumbles, grabbing the flowers. "They're beautiful. Thank you."

She's silent while she gets the vase. I watch her as she trims the stems then arranges the bouquet in the vase all without speaking to me, and when she turns around and her eyes hit mine, I take a seat at the table.

"You scare me more than I like to admit, Bo."

"You're always sayin' that, Kinlee, but I ain't a different person than I used to be." I shrug and cross my legs at the ankles while I stretch out. "The kids were protected. Helmets and all. If that's what your worry is."

"My worry isn't about them. I know you're taking care of them." She sighs and walks over to the table, sitting down across from me. "My worry is for you. Yeah, you've always done this, but back then you weren't a bull rider with a broken back."

I sigh and sit up straight, leaning over the table. "I ain't gonna live in fear of my back." I glance at her, wanting this subject long over. I know how much I can take. "I didn't hurt my back, I cut open my nose. Baby, you gotta stop worrying about my back."

"I can't," she whispers, picking at her fingernail polish. "What if one of these days you hurt it even worse? What if it paralyzes you? Have you ever thought of that? What if you hop on one of those things and hit a bump too hard and it snaps again? Worse, what if you die, Bo?" Her voice trails off and she clears her throat. "I let myself fall in love with an adrenaline junkie who's already badly injured. Anything else on that back, and you may never walk again. That's what the news station said when it happened. That's why you came back here, isn't it?"

"Don't believe the media, Kinlee." I stand and cross over to the refrigerator, grabbing a beer. "You want my medical records? It ain't good, but it ain't as bad as they made it seem. There's a rod in my back. That four-wheeler ain't breaking that titanium." I smirk at her.

"I don't want your medical records, Bo," she scoffs. "I just want you to talk about it. And I'd love if you didn't like to do such dangerous shit.
