“Your rooms are down the hall to the right,” Levi said, shutting the door behind Asher. “I thought you’d want to go there first.”
“Thanks. I want to take off this damn leg. I’m not used to it yet.”
“You haven’t had it long, have you?”
“No. A couple of weeks.”
“Are you on a time schedule where you work up to wearing it more and more?”
“Yeah. To a certain extent. It’s up to me whether I want to push it or not.”
“But you’re able to walk on it?”
“With crutches or a walker.”
Asher was talking more now. Maybe he’d just needed a little time to adjust.
After entering the bedroom, Asher stopped and looked around. Still silent, he rolled into the bathroom and sat there, taking it all in.
“There’s another room next to your bedroom. We’ve widened the doorway. I thought you might want someplace besides your bedroom or the den to hang out.”
“You did all this for me?”
“Well, yeah. Who else would I do it for?”
“You didn’t have to do this. I didn’t expect…I figured I’d make do with whatever was already here. You must have spent a fortune.”
Levi shrugged. “Money’s not a problem.”
“I know. Not for you. But this…this is above and beyond. I’ll never be able to repay you.”
“Repay me? I didn’t do it expecting you to repay me. The cost was no big deal.” Levi changed the subject. “The bed’s electric. I’m sure you’ll figure out the controls. I’m going to get your bag. Do you want something to drink or eat?”
“No, I’m good.” Levi started to leave but stopped and turned around at the doorway when Asher said, “Levi? Thanks. For all this. It means…a lot.”
“You’re welcome. I’m glad you’re here.”
“Yeah. I am too.”
Chapter Fourteen
Dana and Levi had argued about whether she should be there when Levi brought Asher home. Dana won that argument and stayed home the first day and night to give the brothers private time. But Levi insisted she come over the following day as usual. She brought over the kitchen plans to ask for more details from Levi and Asher.
She found the two men in Levi’s den, and paused at the doorway when she heard her name mentioned.
“Dana DeLong? Isn’t that the same chick who shit on you way back?”
Perfect entrance line. “I think of it as more of a mutual shitting, don’t you, Levi?”
They both turned around to look at her.
“Definitely mutual,” Levi said, walking over to kiss her. He gave her a rueful smile and said, “Dana, meet my brother, Asher, who appears to have stepped in it.”
He gave her a charming smile and it really brought home his resemblance to Levi. “Sorry, didn’t know you were there.”
“Think nothing of it,” she said cheerfully. “Obviously, Levi told you about our past history.”
“Only a little. He didn’t mention that you were drop-dead gorgeous, though.”
