“You have a clinic? Oh wait, I remember you telling me about it. It’s a not-for-profit, right?”
“Yeah. I go there at least one day a week. Most of our equipment is donated, including an x-ray machine we call Big Bertha.” He cleaned her knees. “So I’ll take you there to get an x-ray.”
“Tonight?”
“I was thinking in the morning.”
She bit her lip. “Maybe, I’ll see what my wrist is like. But I’ll pay for it. Okay?”
He eyed her for a long moment. “Sure. I’ll give you the friends and family discount.”
“Oh, what’s the discount?”
“It’s a hundred percent off.”
Her mouth dropped open. “Hack! You can’t do that! I’ve got to pay something at least.”
“Sure I can. Does Sav know you don’t have insurance, baby?” he asked.
She stiffened. “No. And I’d appreciate you keeping that to yourself. You have to, right? There’s some sort of doctor-patient confidentiality.”
“Hmm, not sure I want to be your doctor.”
“Oh. Sure. I understand.” Actually, she didn’t really. And it kind of hurt. She thought they were growing close.
“Because if I were your doctor, I would probably get sued for being inappropriate.”
“You haven’t been inappropriate.”
“Not yet.” He winked.
Her cheeks grew red. Then her stomach chose that moment to growl.
Oh crap.
She moved her good hand to her tummy. “Sorry.”
He raised his eyebrows. “You need to eat dinner.”
“Yeah, although I didn’t mean to buy that much. I don’t suppose you’re hungry? Would you like to stay for dinner?”
And maybe not leave.
Yeah, that would be a great way to scare the guy to death.
“I could eat,” he told her, standing up and stretching. A small sliver of muscular skin appeared in front of her eyes.
Damn. Yummy.
Jesus. What was wrong with her?
“I’ll heat it all up.” She tried to stand, but he put his hand on her legs.
“Whoa, wait up, Ladybug. Let’s get that wrist bandaged first. Then I’ll heat it up. You need to rest.”
Hack pulled out a bandage and removed the ice pack before wrapping her wrist up.
“Are you sure this is necessary?” Greer asked. How was she going to do anything with her hand wrapped up like this?
