When I glanced toward Diego, he had a familiar focused look in his eyes, studying me.
“What?” I asked automatically.
“What's up with you fainting?”
I sighed. “Didn’t Terese tell you?”
“Yeah, she said it's a heart thing our aunt had and not to get too worried.”
“Well, don't worry then. That should be enough information for you,” I countered.
Diego narrowed his eyes. “Harley…” he began.
“Just because I'm your little sister doesn't mean I’m required to give you a blow-by-blow.”
“Did you tell Gemma?”
“Fine. It's a thing where my heartbeat can be irregular and sometimes skips a beat. That's it.”
“What does that mean? Grant said you fainted.”
“I did. I think that night it was because I hadn't eaten anything. Combining that with this, I fainted.”
“How many times have you fainted?”
“Oh my God,” I muttered. “Not many. So few I haven't kept count.”
I was lying. I knew exactly how many times I’d fainted—six times. I was not about to offer more details to my overprotective brother.
“What did Quinn say?”
“I have an appointment with him next week to talk about a medication recommendation.”
“Can I talk to him?”
“No. Diego, it's not necessary for you to talk to him.”
Ireallydidn't want him talking to my doctor. That just felt weird.
Gemma swooped in. “Time for dinner,” she said as she set a bowl filled with taco meat in front of us. She turned to get the taco shells out of the oven.
“Are they going to be crispy?” I asked.
She shook her head as she lifted them with a spatula onto a plate.
Diego didn’t get the memo. “It’s just your regular doctor, not your OBGYN.”
I rolled my eyes. “Diego, if it becomes necessary for you to talk to my doctor, you can talk to my doctor. This is not an emergency.”
He lifted his beer and took a swallow before replying, “Promise me you'll keep me in the loop.”
“Absolutely.” I would keep him in the loop. I just wouldn't tell him the whole story.
ChapterSeventeen
HARLEY
A full week had passed since my first night with Grant. Since then, we'd spent a few stolen hours together every night. We mostly used my bedroom because it was a little farther away from Cat’s, which was directly across the hall from Grant’s room. Grant would spend a few hours with me before getting up early and slipping back into his bedroom. I even noticed that he was going out of his way to leave his bed unmade so Cat wouldn't suspect anything.
