He held onto her arm as they walked up the stairs.
Just as they reached the top step, a group of people wearing matching Christmas sweaters spilled out of the front door. A big dog came bounding down the steps.
“What happened?” Juno said.
“Car accident,” Will said. “Everyone move out of the way; let’s get her inside. MarryMe, out of the way you silly dog.
Will led her over to the couch in front of the fireplace.
“Get the doctor,” he called.
“Doctor?” Liv said, her eyes wide.
“The President travels with a doctor,” he said, looking closely at the cut on her head. “You’re lucky you crashed into the right house.”
Not feeling so lucky at the moment.Liv thought.
“Let’s get these wet clothes off you,” Will said, untying her shoes.
Liv just watched him motionlessly. She was in shock; surely, she was in shock.
Maybe she was asleep? No, her head hurt too much to be dreaming.
Damn it - this was really happening.
“Hey, Zadie,” Will called. “Can we get her some dry clothes?”
“You’re going to be fine,” he whispered.
She nodded.
“Dr. Baker,” Will said, standing up. “She’s been in a car accident.”
Dr. Baker took over, examining Liv’s injuries. He determined that she was fine other than the gash on her head which would need stitches.
“I can do them here,” Dr. Baker said. “I have everything in my kit. Let me grab a few supplies.”
“Is it okay if I change first?” she said, shivering.
“Of course,” he said. “I’ll be right back.”
“I have some clothes for you,” Will said. “There’s a room you can change in right over here.”
He led her to a bedroom off the living room and handed her a change of clothes. He turned to leave.
“Will.”
He turned; his face dark with worry.
“I need help getting out of the sweater,” she said. God, could this be happening again?
She looked down; there was blood all over it.
“This probably can’t be saved. I need to cut it off...with scissors,” she said.
A faint smile crossed his lips and he left; returning shortly with scissors in hand.
“Do you want me to shut the door?”
