“I don’t mind if they stay,” she said.
Wait. Why had she said that? Probably because she didn’t want any more tension between the three of them.
And she wanted this over and done with.
“Are you sure, sweetheart?” Jameson asked. “Don’t let them bully you into it.”
“I’m sure.”
“Then the two of you sit over there and shut up.” Jameson pointed to the far wall.
They both went. Huh.
“Oh, wise one, give me your magical powers,” she said.
Jameson blinked down at her. Then he turned to look at Jack and Ian. “Did she hit her head?”
Ian rolled his eyes. “Of course she didn’t. I caught her.”
“That’s just Maggie being Maggie.”
“That’s me. Maggie.” She blew out a breath. Why was she feeling nervous?
Because the sexy doctor is going to touch you.
This was like that romance novel she’d just been reading. Well, there hadn’t been two other sexy men in the room in that book.
But imagine if there had been . . .
Yep. She was self-combusting.
“Okay, sweetheart. Can you tell me about this injury? When did it happen? What happened?” Jameson asked.
Great. She really didn’t want to talk about that.
“Do I have to?” she asked.
“Um. Yes.”
And now he was looking at her like she was a crazy person.
Way to go, Maggie.
“I need to know what is going on,” he added gently. “Again, if you want them to leave at any time, say the word.”
Ian glared at Jameson. But Jack just stared at her.
“All right. I was the passenger in a car accident five years ago. I shattered my hip. And my Olympic dreams.”
“What?” Jameson asked.
“I was meant to compete in the Olympics the following year. I couldn’t do that after the accident, though.”
And she hadn’t been able to skate since. Every time she tried to get on the ice, she had a panic attack.
Which hurt almost more than the physical pain of the accident. It was like losing a limb.
“I’m so sorry, sweetheart.” Pain filled his face.
