Chapter 48: Why Yes, I'm Feeling Great

Owen

"How are you this morning?" Nurse Autumn asks as she flutters around the room, opening my blinds, setting down my breakfast of hospital scrambled eggs and toast, and checking my vitals. She’s been here the last three mornings and if all goes well, this is the last time I’ll ever look into her eyes that are so dark they’re almost black. Autumn has spent a little extra time in my room. But I suspect that’s because Brody’s been here and from what she tells me, her kids are taking too long giving her grandbabies to cuddle and spoil.

"Great." I smile wide. I am, too. Not only am I feeling better, headache not so prevalent and my double vision mostly gone, today Cami arrives.

"Your girl still coming today?"

"Now, Autumn, I told you she isn’t my girl."

"Yet. You said she isn’t yours yet." She smiles and writes down the numbers from my blood pressure and pulse.

"I have to do a little groveling and magic first."
