His sister answered immediately. “Hi, Cam.”
“Well, hi there.” Cameron smiled. “How are you feeling?”
“You mean, since the last time you called me? About five minutes ago?”
“Feel up to a visit?” he asked, ignoring her sarcasm.
She sighed. “Probably not.”
“I’m about twenty minutes away.”
“Jessie’s here,” Megan said.
Cameron frowned. “This can’t wait.”
“Great,” she droned.
Cameron hung up and headed to his father’s home in the West Hills.
Jesska sat next to her niece on the overstuffed sofa in her parents’ family room. She hated this house. Hated everything it represented. But Megan and Sophia were staying there to recuperate, so she was there to visit. Hopefully, they’d be back in their own home soon, especially considering they were healing faster than anyone expected.
“Cam’s on his way,” Megan said as she returned from taking a call in her room.
“Everything okay?” Jesska asked.
“Who knows?”
Jesska giggled. “Which one of us is in trouble?”
“That would be me,” Megan said.
“Why is Uncle Cam so... um... intense?” Sophia asked.
“He used to have to deal with some serious criminals when he was with the FBI, Soph,” Megan said. “He’s probably seen things we will never have to, and he wants to keep it that way.”
Sophia rolled her eyes. “My nurse thought he was super hot.”
“What?” Jesska asked. “She talked to you about him? How unprofessional.”
Sophia chuckled. “No, she thought I was still asleep. She was talking to one of the other nurses. ‘Oooh, did you see that Cameron guy? Wasn’t he hot?’ Stuff like that.”
“Yeah, all my friends have adored him as far back as I can remember,” Jesska admitted. “But he was even more intense back then, and way more of a pain in the ass.”
Megan laughed, and sat down in the chair by the fireplace. “But we love him anyway.”
Jesska grinned. “That we do.”
“Anyone hungry?” Megan asked.
Jesska jumped to her feet. “You rest. I can make us something.”
“I’m fine, Jessie.”
“Which I totally don’t get. How is that even possible? It’s only been a day since you got home.”
“Miracle, I guess.”
“I guess so,” Jesska murmured.
