“Glad you decided against getting into a bumper car. I’d have been very unhappy if you had.”
The voice made her jolt and let out a startled grunt.
She nearly slid over onto her ass and Remy had to quickly grab her, holding her up.
“Shit. Sorry, baby. Didn’t mean to scare you.”
“Uh, you just startled me is all.” Unfortunately, her head was now swimming and her heart was thumping erratically.
Beat. Beat. Skip. Beat.
God, she hated that. It made her feel ill. Plus, it stressed her out.
Maybe you should see a doctor.
“What did you say? Oh, the bumper cars. Why couldn’t I go in them? I’m a good driver.”
“You have to still be sore from your accident. I’m surprised it didn’t hurt when Loki was jostling you around earlier.”
She frowned, confused. “What do you mean?”
“When he was piggybacking you.”
Looking up at him, she raised her eyebrows. “You’re watching me again?”
“What made you think I’d stop?”
Shit. She didn’t know. She had just figured he would.
“I’m still worried something will happen to you. It’s actually gotten worse.”
Shit. “Remy, I’m sorry.”
“Why are you sorry?”
“Because you’re worrying so much over me when you really don’t need to.”
“Don’t I? You’re clearly exhausted. You should be at home, resting. Recovering. Instead, yesterday you made dozens of cupcakes and today you’re here. This isn’t restful.”
“I’m fine. But thanks for caring.”
He cupped the side of her face, making her heart race. Damn it. He was so potent.
“I don’t believe you. I saw you wincing a few times as though something hurt. Where does it hurt?”
She shook her head.
“Tell me.”
“I just have some bruising. That’s all.”
He frowned. “Fuck. You should be rubbing some cream on them.”
“I . . . I will.” She glanced over at Loki to find him staring back at her. His eyes were narrowed. And she knew that if he wasn’t in a moving bumper car, that he’d already be over here. “Thanks for checking on me.”
She didn’t want to step back and hurt Remy’s feelings, but she also didn’t want to hurt Loki.
Isa rubbed her stomach, feeling icky.
