Chapter Eight

When Mike woke up on Sunday morning, he was surprised to realize that he felt well rested for the first time in days. Sure, it helped that he’d been able to get over most of his soreness from Friday’s PT session yesterday. He hadn’t thought Karen would make him use muscles that he could feel. Still, he didn’t think that was the only reason.

He’d talked to Daisy on the phone last night and he felt good about their conversation. They’d talked a little more about their backgrounds and he’d begun to realize that she’d had a very closely supervised childhood, especially during her high school years. And she had laughingly said that it was still true, even now.

No wonder she was so quiet and shy. At least she hadn’t been like a lot of kids brought up that way who rebelled in every way possible as soon as they could get out on their own and often got into trouble.

He suddenly realized that he’d been just lying there in bed for more than ten minutes doing nothing but thinking about Daisy. That was a first for him. For all the years he’d been with the DEA he’d never really taken the time to get to know any of the women who had passed through his life. Now, he found himself wanting to know everything there was to know about Daisy.

He finally realized that he needed to get up and start his day. Why? Well, as he thought about it, for the last six months he hadn’t really had much going on in his life to make him want to get out of bed in the morning. But now? Now he did. He would see Daisy today since his mom had asked him if she could invite her and her family over for dinner after church. He was somewhat surprised that he was not dreading having a group of people invading the privacy of his home. Of course, that was only because Daisy would be one of them. He planned to ignore the rest as much as he could.

Sarah had called to ask Daisy last night and she had accepted the invitation. Now, he had something to look forward to for his Sunday afternoon other than just watching a Cardinals game on TV.

He started rolling over in anticipation of pulling himself into his wheel chair when it happened. As he dragged his right leg across the sheets with both hands, he felt it. What? Yes! He felt his foot rubbing the sheet!

He shouted out and didn’t even know what he said. It must have been enough to bring the others because his mom and Jason were both soon standing in his bedroom doorway and Jason had his gun in his hand.

Jason stepped into the room and over to the window to look out. When he turned back around, Mike laughed and said, “Hey you two. Calm down. There’s nothing wrong.”

Jason leaned over Mike where he lay sprawled half in the bed and half out.
