“Don’t be sorry,” Daniel said. “I like to watch cartoons too.”

Her eyes widened. “Really? But you’re … a grown-up.”

The men laughed.

“Some people would say men never grow up,” Trent said.

Casey snickered.

“How about if you lay down so I can check you out?”

Simon helped lower the bed and then adjusted the blanket. He watched as Daniel checked out her stitches. He watched the blush that covered her face when the gown was pulled to the side, practically baring her breast. Simon was pleased when Daniel talked matter-of-factly about baseball and took care to keep her covered as much as possible. He also let herhug her puppy, which helped.

“Things are looking good. How do you feel?” Daniel asked.

“I’m sore. My hands hurt, and they barely got cut.”

Daniel looked at him and raised a brow.

Simon made her focus on him. “Baby, you were gripping the steering wheel really hard. It took some effort on my part to unlock the fingers of your right hand.”

“I remember. I got my left hand free to wipe the blood off my face so I could see. It didn’t work.”

Daniel nodded. “The cut at your hairline was oozing. Without a cloth and pressure, you wouldn’t have had a chance.”

“She was incredibly brave,” Simon said and squeezed her shoulder. “The car started to rock, and she told me to get away from it, so I wouldn’t get hurt.” He looked down at her. “Do you remember that, Baby?”

Casey nodded. “I was afraid.”

Daniel cleared his throat. “Well, everything is looking good. If it gets red or puffy, come back to the ER.”

Casey nodded. “I can do that.”

Simon bit his lip to keep from smiling. Daniel had been talking to him and not her because he knew he’d be taking her home with him.

Daniel wrote some things down. “I’ll have a nurse bring in discharge papers.”

Casey nodded. “Thank you very much.”

Daniel patted her foot. “You’re welcome.” He shook his and Trent’s hands and walked to the door.

Daniel turned back to them. “You do know you’re a lucky bastard, don’t you?”

Simon chuckled. “Yes.”

“Good. It’s hard finding sweet women like this.”

“Oh, I know,” Simon said. “I’ve been looking for a while.”

“Me, too. Have a good day.” Daniel waved and walked out the door.

“Simon, can I sit up again and watch TV?”

“Yes. Let me help.”

He got her situated and then walked to where Trent sat. They started talking about work when the door opened, and four littles walked in with two of the daddies.

Simon stood to greet them. The men grinned when they noticed the girls staring at each other with wide eyes. They waited to see how long it would take for the girls to move.
