I smile up at him as he tucks his jacket around me.He leans down, kissing me quickly before he leaves the room.
“You two are so cute!”Landry whisper-shouts.
I laugh.“I know.It’s sickening, right?”
She shakes her head.“It’s good to see you so happy and in love.”
I blush, looking down at my fingers twisting in my lap.“I’m still getting used to it.”
She raises an eyebrow.“To your boyfriend being a wolf?”
I told Landry all about Reyes, shifters, fated mates, and him saving me when he went to get us lunch yesterday.She took it better than I did.I thought she’d claim I needed psychiatric help after I told her my boyfriend could turn into a wolf.
“Yeah, it’s all still so wild, but it’s more than that.He’s obsessed with me.I never thought I would find someone so…”
“Perfect?”Landry finishes.
I laugh.“Yeah, he is perfect.He’s so great, Lan.I can’t wait for you to get to know him better.”
“Well, hopefully I can get out of here today and do just that.Who knows, maybe I’ll find a fated mate shifter of my own?”
“I hope you do.”
“Knock, knock.”Dr.Christian pokes his head into the room.
Reyes is right behind him with two glasses of water, and I smile as I take one from him.He stands next to me, rubbing my shoulders as Christian looks over Landry.
“Well, you look a lot better today.The fluids helped.I think you’re ready to be discharged and sent home.Reyes has my number in case you need anything, and I’m always here.If something changes or you start to feel weak or lightheaded, come back immediately.Otherwise, take it easy for a bit.”
“I will,” Landry promises.
Christian hands me discharge papers, which I stuff into my pocket.
“I brought some clothes,” Reyes says.“They’re out in the car.I’ll be right back.”
Landry swings her legs over the side of the hospital bed as Reyes runs outside, and I help her stand.
“Take it easy,” I warn her.
She sighs.“It feels good to stretch my legs.”
We haven’t talked about the kidnapping or what happened to her when we were separated.Not yet.But we will.Soon.When she’s ready.
“Thanks,” I tell Reyes as he returns with the bag of clean clothes.
“Take your time.I’ll be right out here.Let me know if you need anything else.”
“I will,” I promise him.
Landry dresses, using me for balance as she tugs on her underwear and pants.
“I don’t have any shoes for you,” I say, searching through the bag.
“That’s okay.”
“We’ll get you a new pair.”
Landry sinks onto the bed, looking tired.
