Chapter Thirty
After Liv talked withher parents and assured them, she was fine, and they needed to go on the cruise without her, she returned to breakfast where she ate two big plates of sausage, bacon, biscuits, eggs, and fresh orange juice. She couldn’t remember the last time she’d been so hungry.
“Hi, Liv,” Dr. Baker said, walking to the kitchen. “How are you feeling this morning?”
“I’ve felt better,” she said.
“Can I take a look at those stitches?”
“Please,” she said, following him into the living room.
“Everything looks good,” he said. “There’s no sign of concussion. These bruises are going to take a while to heal, but I’m pleased with the way things look today. You need to take it easy for a few days.”
“Don’t worry - I was planning on it,”
Liv curled up on the sofa watching more Christmas movies. She nodded off to sleep a few times.
“Do you want to watch the wood chopping competition?” Juno said, poking her head into the room.
“The what?”
“The boys do this stupid wood chopping contest every year,” Zadie said. “They’re on the final round; we’re all going outside to watch. Wanna join?”
“Sure,” Liv said. She got up slowly; her whole body was stiff.
“Let me help you with your jacket,” Brooklyn said, rushing over to help her. Liv flinched as she lifted her arm and slid it into the armhole
“It seems I have bruises everywhere,” Liv said, grimacing.
“Just take your time,” Brooklyn said.
Once Liv finished, they went outside together. Liv’s jaw nearly hit the ground when she saw all the boys lined up - each of them shirtless or nearly shirtless.
“I had the same reaction my first year too,” Elizabeth said with a wink.
Liv closed her mouth and blinked several times. Surely, she was sleeping. Surely this sexy lumberjack competition was not actually happening.
“We’ve finished all of the preliminary rounds,” Keene said.
“There are multiple rounds?” Liv whispered.
“They take this very seriously,” Brooklyn said. “You should hear about their Camp David competition.”
Liv’s eyes widened.
