“I can’t imagine what you went through,” she said.
“It’s a good thing I don’t remember.” I smiled as I glanced at her.
“Right. You weren’t there. Well, you were, but you weren’t. Kate is my hero, and I must thank her for what she did.”
“She’s gone radio silent. Next time she’s around, I’ll tell her.” I sat down next to her and took hold of her hand.
“Things could have been very different.” Jenni lowered her head. “Instead of Shaun calling me, it could have been the morgue.”
“Hey. Shaun is okay, and so is everyone else. That’s all we need to focus on.”
“You’re right.” She sighed.
“Let’s go downstairs. Didn’t you promise me some tea?” I smirked.
“Yes! Let’s go make some tea.” She smiled.
CHAPTER43
Ava
As Jenni was making me a cup of tea, the sliding door opened, and Grace walked in with Nora.
“Hey, you.” She smiled as she walked over to the couch. “How are you?”
“I’m fine, Grace. Hi, sweetheart.” I took hold of Nora’s hand.
“I think we’ll have matching scars.” Grace smiled as she pointed to her head.
“Well, Grayson was the one who stitched me up, so I’m trusting it won’t leave a scar.”
“It most likely will, but that’s okay. I like to call them badass girl scars.” A smirk crossed her lips.
“Grace, want some tea?” Jenni asked.
“No thanks. I have to get back home and finish cooking. I just wanted to stop by and make sure Ava was okay, but thanks for the offer.”
The front door opened, and Grayson walked in. He set his keys down, walked over, and kissed my head.
“I think this is our cue to leave, Jen,” Grace said. “Come on, Nora. Let’s go fill your tummy with yummy food.” She tickled her belly. “Call me if you need anything.”
“I will. Thanks, Grace.”
“I’ll talk to you later.” Jenni hugged me. “Take care of her, Dr. Kind.”
“You know I will. Thanks, Jen.” He sat on the couch and held me.
“I’m happy you’re home,” I said.
“Me too, babe. I thought I told you to get in bed when you got home,”
“I didn’t want to be in there without you. I’m fine right here.”
“Are you hungry?” he asked.
“Yes. Can we order in?”
“I’ll go grab the menus.” He kissed the top of my head and stood up from the couch.
