“For everything.”
She shook her head.“I love you.”
Logan blinked.“What?”Had he heard her right?
“I love you.”Her voice was strong this time.
His heart pounded.“Oh, my Ellie.I love you so much.”He reached for her, but the IV tubing wasn’t long enough.
Her fingers trailed down his cheek.“We can embrace later.How do you feel?”
“Like I’ve been shot.”
“Please don’t joke.”
“I’m sorry.”He wanted to comfort her, but with the damn IV, he’d have to wait.“I’d like to talk with the doctor.”He needed to know exactly what happened and what the prognosis was.
“I’ll go get him.”She stood.
“No.”Logan tightened his hold on her.“Don’t leave.Please.Just press the button for the nurse.”
Ellie did as he said, and a nurse joined them in moments.“You’re awake.That’s good.”She bustled over to the bed.
“I’d like to talk to the doctor.”
“Of course, let me get your blood pressure right quick.”The nurse glanced at Ellie.
“Logan, she needs your arm.”
He squeezed her hand and released it.Ellie moved while the nurse took his blood pressure, then a temperature check and wrote down the numbers from the overhead monitor Logan was attached to.His patience was stretched thin by the time she finished.He wanted Ellie next to him and to talk with the doctor.
“All good.I’ll go get the surgeon.”The nurse left.
“Finally,” he muttered.
“Behave yourself,” Ellie said.
“Come back over here.”
She shook her head.“Let the doctor come in first.”
“It could be a while, and I want to touch you.”
“I want that, too, but…” She shook her head.
Logan opened his mouth to argue, but closed it.She was right, the doctor would probably want to examine him.It didn’t mean he liked it.
Several minutes later, the doctor walked in.“Mr.Wolfe,” he said, then looked at Ellie.
“Ellie Tanner,” she said, holding out her hand.
“My fiancée,” Logan added.
The doctor nodded, then took some time to examine Logan, checking feeling in his leg and feeling something on top of his foot.
Logan didn’t get a good look, but what he saw, he didn’t much like.He tried to remember he still had his leg.That was the important part.
The doctor went over the procedure and treatment plan, and Logan was relieved when the doctor said his leg would heal up normally.
