“Only if they’re sexy.” A smirk crossed her lips.
The alarm went off, and I quickly shut it down.
“Can I?” I pointed to her lips.
“Why not? You took it upon yourself to do it last night without asking.”
“You loved it.” I leaned over and kissed her lips. “We better get up and get ready for work. I have a full patient load today.”
“I have a couple of patients tomorrow, so I need to study their files today.”
“Do you want to ride in together?” I asked.
“I can drive myself.”
“Are you sure? You haven’t driven since the accident.”
“I’ll be okay.” She climbed out of bed.
After I showered and dressed, I went downstairs and made us a cup of coffee.
“Your coffee, madame.” I smiled as I handed her a cup and leaned against the island.
“Thank you. I had a memory last night. At least, I think it was. It was more like a dream.”
The sliding door opened, and Christian walked in.
“Morning, you two. Can I borrow some cream?” he asked.
“You know where it’s at, bro,” I said. “Tell me about your dream.” I stared at Charlotte.
“I was with a man. I’m assuming it was you. It was night, and there was a party going on. The man was holding a plate with a piece of cake on it, and we were down by the water. I said, ‘If you weren’t okay, you’d tell me, right?’ Does that sound familiar?” She brought her cup to her lips.
I stared at her for a moment, took her cup and set it on the island, and wrapped my arms around her.
“That was a memory. It was from my birthday party.”
“Were you okay?” she asked, breaking from my embrace.
“Yeah, I was. Thanks to you.”
“That’s amazing, Charlotte,” Christian smiled.
“Thanks, Christian. So, that would have been your birthday party too,” she said.
“I didn’t know about my brother then. Anyway, I have to get back and get this to Charleigh. I’ll see you two later.”
“What did he mean by that?” Her brows furrowed.
“Oh, my dear, Charlotte.” I hooked my arm around her. “The stories I have to tell you. We’ll talk about it later. We need to head out.” I kissed the side of her head.
CHAPTER29
Charlotte
I climbed into my car and took in a deep breath. I told Conner I’d forgotten something in the house and to go, and I’d see him at the medical center. The truth was, I didn’t want him to see me having a near panic attack in the car. I gripped the steering wheel and lay my forehead on it. I heard a tap on the window, and when I looked over, I saw Simon standing there. He opened the passenger door and climbed inside.
“Nice car.” He smiled. “It looks so familiar.” He winked. “Anyway, I was driving by and saw you sitting here. Are you okay?”
