“I’ll be careful,” Hanna said, snuggling into the chair.
“Both of you should rest. I’ll have a nurse come in for blood samples, and I’ll check to see if there are any changes.”
“Thank you for everything, Dr. Keller,” Riana said.
“I guess I’m not your doctor anymore if this worked out right. Might as well call me Lincoln or Linc for short.”
“Thanks, Linc.” Riana smiled.
“If everything checks out, we’ll get your release papers for you to go home.” He started to say something else but stopped and left the room.
When he was gone, Hanna stared at Riana. “You sure you feel better? Maybe it won’t hurt to stay one more night for them to be safe.”
Riana stared at the door as if she was expecting Linc to come right back. “I want to be in my own bed, Hanna.”
Hanna smirked. “From the looks of it, a certain doctor wants to get in with you.”
“Stop it,” Riana said, grinning.
“Nope,” Hanna said. “Embarrassment redemption is headed your way.”

“At least you look healthier.” Hanna pressed her head against the back of the chair. “Maybe it is working.”
“Of course it’s working. I believe in your abilities, Hanna. Even if you don’t.”
“Your confidence in me is baffling. At least this day can’t get any longer. That’s for sure.” Hanna closed her eyes, feeling sleep beckoning her.
“What the hell are you doing here?” a woman asked.
The familiar voice grated Hanna’s insides, and she didn’t want to look. She spoke too damn soon.
Hanna knew this confrontation was coming. She’d just hope to deal with it later. Like when she was out-of-town later.
She opened her eyes and finally faced the woman who had been the reason for her flight six years before. “Hi, mom.”
