“Even if it was, I wouldn’t change a thing. It wouldn’t have gone any differently,” he croaks out.

“How can you say that? You barely know me,” I cry out.

“Because I was there to protect you; not the other way around. It was my job to keep you safe,” he says softly.

“You did the best you could, brother. I’ll never forget that,” Zane says, breaking the moment.

“I’ll be fine and out of here in a couple days,” N says.

“Is he coming to the club when he gets out?” I ask Zane.

Zane nods his head. “Yeah, he will be watched until he gets better. It’s almost time to vote for his patch too.”

N looks down when he hears this, but I don’t ask anything until we are in the vehicle.

“Why does N look upset when you said you guys were voting for his patch soon?” I ask.

“Because he thinks the vote won’t go in his favour since the last month of his patch is going to be spent with him in bed being waited on, and he won’t be able to ride until his leg and arm are healed,” Zane explains.

“I’m sure he has nothing to worry about. It’s not like it was his fault that he’s bed ridden,” I say.

“Exactly, but on the night of the patching ceremony, we also go out on the first ride as brothers for the patched member before going back to the club to party,” Zane says before adding, “that will likely need to be postponed.”

“I’ll keep my fingers crossed for him,” I say softly, causing a small smile to break out on Zane’s face.

It doesn’t take long to get Dani back to the club. Instead, it takes longer to get her back into bed because everyone wants to talk to her and see how she’s doing. The exhaustion on her face shows before I tell everyone they can talk to her later.

When I take her to my room, there are a couple of treats on the bed with some food and drinks. Non-alcoholic, of course, since Dani is on pain killers.

I make sure she’s comfortable before putting on a random show so she can eat and relax.

She doesn’t eat much and is asleep pretty fast.

I make sure she’s out before I turn on my favourite show. I keep the volume low so that I don’t wake her.

At first, I keep checking on her to make sure she doesn’t wake up but, eventually, I get so lost in the show that I don’t notice her wake up.

When I look back down at her, she’s looking at me with amusement in her eyes and a big ass fucking smile on her face.

“Are you seriously singing along to the Gilmore Girls theme song?” she asks, trying to hold back laughter.

“Fuck, I thought you were sleeping,” I spit out.

“Clearly,” she says again, looking so fucking amused.

“You can’t tell anyone this!” I say in a panic.

“Don’t worry, your secret is safe with me. You just have to answer one thing for me,” she says, looking serious.

“What’s that?” I eye her warily.

“Are you team Dean, Jess, or Logan?” she says with a straight face.

“Jess obviously,” I say before I can stop myself.

“Just when I thought we had a chance, you had to go and say something like that,” she says with a sigh.
