Because it seemed that way.
“I’ll be careful. Yoga and stretching is good for me.”
“Yes, once that swelling has gone down and you’re not experiencing sharp shooting pains,” Jameson told her.
Monkeyballs. She knew she should have downplayed her pain levels.
“I’m telling you right now, Shortcake, that if you don’t follow my instructions, I will move in here to keep a closer eye on you.” Jameson gave her a firm look.
Why did that sound so threatening?
And why did her body tighten in anticipation?
“Maybe you should anyway,” Jack said. “We’ve got two patients now. We could use the help.”
Jameson frowned. “You do. William could become . . . easily confused and upset.”
Bollocks.
Did he want her to tell Jack and Ian about Uncle Willy?
Should she?
“I have a shift starting in a few hours, but I’ll return tonight to check on them both. And we need to have a chat, Maggie. Alone.”
He gave her another pointed look.
She didn’t think that sounded like a good idea.
Ian frowned. “Is there something more we need to know?”
“Just worried about William getting confused about where he is and who you are,” Jameson said smoothly. “I might as well check on him while I’m here. Has he shown any signs of confusion?”
“No, he’s just tired and sore,” she told him.
“That’s good. I’ll be back.”
Once Jameson was gone, Ian kneeled down next to where she lay on the couch. She attempted to push herself up so she was sitting. He frowned, but helped her up.
“Let’s get you into these,” Jack said, holding up a pair of gray trackpants. “They’re mine. We will have to roll them over at the top, but I figure they’re loose and will be comfortable.”
Oh Lord.
She was going to wear his pants? Again, Ian held her up while Jack got her dressed.
“It would probably be easier to lie her down and dress her,” Ian suggested.
“Next time,” Jack said.
Umm. There wouldn’t be a next time. Right?
Jameson came back down. “Okay, William is doing really well. Sore and sleepy, but that’s to be expected. I’ll come back after my shift to check on everyone.”
She wanted to tell him that wasn’t necessary. But Ian and Jack nodded before she could say anything.
It seemed she was going to be taken care of.
Whether she liked it or not.
