We’d managed to fill Maverick in on as much as we could without completely freaking him out Bar he w

he didn’t like to see me in pain, so he hovered a lot. I was tad it was summer so that he could hang our home aud watch me heal. He wouldn’t have done well if he’d had to go to check wry day and function

Something I hadn’t been prepared for were the nightmares. I would relive the incident over and over gan severd times s night, and I hadn’t slept well in quite a while.

“Hey,” Carter leaned over to kiss me. “Do you need anything?”

I shook my head with a smile. “Mav’s got it covered.”

The pain was beginning to get worse, but I wanted to try to wean myself off the narcoties, so I tried to wait longer each time

Carter sat next to him. “Thanks, buddy”

“No problem.”

“You okay?” I asked.

Carter nodded. “Yeah. Just got a weird phone call”

“Weird good or weird bad?”

“Good,” he said.

“Club business?”

Carter shook his head. “The house next door to Hawk’s is for sale.

I widened my eyes. “The cute little blue one with the basement?”

“That’s the one.”

“And?”

“Wondered if you wanted to buy it,” Carter said.

“Aidan can rent it from me. Or buy it if he wants it. He’s open.”

I blinked back tears. “You’d do that for us?”

5 vouchers

“Babe,” he said with a sigh. “I’m not sacrificin‘ anything. I like it up here and May’s already in school right down the street. We’d be close to a brother, and you’d be close to Payton. It’s an ideal situation.”

I grinned. “Hunt and gather, man of mine. I want that house.”

He laughed and nodded. “I’m lookin‘ at it tomorrow. If I like what I see, then you can check it out and we’ll make it happen.”

“Can I come with you, Dad?” Maverick asked.

I laid my hand over my chest. It was the first time Maverick had called Carter ‘dad, and it was precious.

“If your grandma can come hang out with Mom, then yeah, of course you can. Maybe Grandpa can come too,” Carter said.

“Awesome!” Maverick sat up on his knees. “Does that mean I get to live next to Lily?”

“If we buy the house, yep, that’s what it means.”

“Cool,” he said. “Now that Dad’s home, can I please play on my DS?”

“Yeah, honey. Thirty minutes,” I said.

“Okay.” Maverick scrambled from the sofa and headed to his room.

Carter checked his watch and rose to his feet. “You’re due for meds, babe.”

“Oh, good,” I said, the pain getting stronger with each minute. “I hope this doesn’t go on forever. I feel really great for a while and then it just hits.”

“I know, baby,” Carter said, and grabbed my pills.

I took them and smiled up at him. “I’m okay, honey.”

“I know that here-” he tapped his temple, “but here-” he laid his hand over his heart, “I don’t like it.”

“I get it.”

He leaned over me, bracing his hands on each arm of my chair. “If you really got it, Cassidy, you’d quit waiting longer for relief.”

I sighed. “I was hoping you hadn’t noticed that.”

“I notice everything when it comes to you.”

“I’m picking up on that,” I admitted. “I just don’t want to get addicted.”

“Cassidy, you were shot less than ten days ago. You got a whole lotta time before you run the risk of getting addicted. Take the damn pills.”

I reached up and stroked his cheek. “Okay, honey. I’ll take the pills.”
