“Kate.I promise. I have a massive headache, but I’m fine.” Callie tugged on Kate’s arm. “And, Noah and I are gettingmarried.”
Kate turned toward me andscowled.
I took a stepback.
“Congratulations?” Preston yelled with his hands up. “Now tell us something we don’t know. Like how you fell off amountain.”
“She dropped her phone.” I said and hit Preston in the chest before sitting down. My body ached and my handthrobbed.
“What do you mean you’re getting married?” Kateasked.
It was Callie’s turn to narrow her eyes. Before anyone could answer the doctor camein.
“Ms. Blake.” Callie’s doctor stood in the middle of the room flipping through something on a tablet. He had yet to acknowledge any of us. “My names Dr.Shears.”
He tucked the tablet under his arm and walked towards Callie butstopped.
“Uhm. Aren’t you Kate Stone?” Dr. Shears ran a hand through his hair andgrinned.
“No, I’m not. I’m Kathryn Carter.” She flipped her blond hair and stood up. “But I get that all thetime.”
I hid my mouth with my hand to keep from laughing. Callie giggled, but stopped and touched herhead.
I went to the other side of the bed and grabbed her hand. She stared up at me andsmiled.
Wow. I loved her smile. Loved her everything. She wanted to marry me. She said yes before, but now I feel like she meantit.
“Oh. Sorry.” Dr. Shears shrugged and made his way to the other side of Callie’s bed. “Ms. Blake. I’ve looked over your x-rays and your EKG. Besides the cut on your head, which we were able to stitch up with six stitches, and a slight concussion, you arefine.”
“Nothing broken?” Iasked.
“Nope. A few cuts and scrapes, but nothing to worry about.” Dr. Shears patted Callie’s hand. “If you have to fall off a mountain, you couldn’t have done it anybetter.”
“Callie does everything perfect.” Prestonsaid.
I rolled my eyes and shook myhead.
“Can I get out of here?” Callieasked.
“I’d normally keep you overnight for observation, but if your friend here will keep an eye on you, wake you up ever few hours to make sure you’re okay and alert and you come back and see me tomorrow. I’ll let you gotonight.”
Callie exhaled. We alldid.
“I’ll have the nurse discharge you with some instructions.” Dr. Shears made a note on his tablet. “I’ll see you tomorrowafternoon?”
“Yes.” Callienodded.
The doctor peered at Kate again and then walked out shaking hishead.
Kate glared at him until Preston patted her ass and her attention returned tous.
Callie lifted the blanket covering her and let itdrop.
“Where are my clothes?” She gasped again and sat up before I could stop her. She held her left hand up to her face. “Where’s myring?”
