He turned around and back to me. “What? What’s wrong?”
“You saw me naked.”
It shouldn’t matter, but it did. Even with everything that had happened almost five years ago, I couldn’t forget my crush. Especially when it seemed that Liam was just as handsome, if not more so, than he was the last time I had seen him.
He had light-brown hair and hazel eyes. He was wearing his paramedic uniform—dark pants and a short-sleeved white button-up shirt—but it was enough to show off his fit body and the sleeve of tattoos on one arm. He was so sexy. Tracy had been a fool for cheating on him.
He smiled sheepishly. “I did.” He held up his hands. “But I was completely in work mode. I was making sure you were alive, not checking you out.”
I sat up straighter. “Speaking of that, you’re a paramedic now? What happened to your tattoo work?”
Liam’s eyes grew sad, and he looked away. “A few years ago, my brother passed away in a car accident.”
“Oh no. Jordan, right?”
He met my eyes and nodded. “Yeah. I’m surprised you remembered.”
“To be honest, I’m surprised too. I have a terrible memory.”
The corner of his mouth lifted at my joke. “Anyway, after that happened, I felt this…calling to do something…more.”
“Even though your brother didn’t make it? That’s amazing of you.”
He rubbed the back of his neck. “Yeah. You haven’t even heard the wild part yet.”
“Oh? Do tell.”
“Jordan was with a friend when he had his accident, and that friend, Nate, is now married to my sister-in-law, Piper.”
I laughed in disbelief. “No way.”
“Way. They even have a kid.” His brow furrowed. “Maybe two. I’m not sure. I don’t really talk to Piper, and I’m really bad about getting on social media.”
“So, you’re happy for them?”
“Very. Nate seems like a great guy, and Piper deserves to be happy.”
The nurse came back in at that point. “Here are your discharge papers.” She handed them to me and took out a pen. She pointed to a section. “You need to go home and rest for the remainder of the day.”
I must have made a noise because she narrowed her eyes at me with a disapproving look.
“No going to work.” She glanced over at Liam. “Are you two friends?”
“Yes.”
The nurse tilted her head toward me. “Make sure this one doesn’t sneak out and work today.”
“I wouldn’t do that.” I met Liam’s eyes. “I don’t need a babysitter.”
Liam just winked and smiled.
The nurse finished going over my directions. “You’re free to get dressed and go home. As long as that’s where you’re going.”
I sighed. “Of course I’m going to go home.” I had to shower before going to work.
She eyed me. “Okay.” She stared at me a few more seconds, and then she left my room.
I swung my legs over the side and slowly stepped down, just in case I did get dizzy again.
