release papers ready. Do you have someone coming to get you?”
      “Yes, he’ll be here in a little while.”
      “I’m going to want to see you again in a few days, but I’ll put that in your instructions.” He jotted down something and looked over at me seriously. “If you experience any dizziness or confusion, call my office.”
      “Okay. Thank you, doctor.”
        “I’ll see you in a few days.” The doctor left and I felt deflated. That was it? I wasn’t well yet. I still had amnesia.
        I sat there for a few minutes. There wasn’t anywhere to go. Ethan wasn’t here yet, but I didn’t want to be in night clothes when he arrived, so I got up and went over to the duffle bag. Ah, the jeans looked familiar. Finally. The shirt, not so much, it had some kind of metallic appliqué of birds on the front of it. Still, it was pretty cool. I took the jeans, tee shirt and some panties into the bathroom. Carrie didn’t pack me a bra, so I was going to be flying free, but at this point I didn’t really care.
      I felt a little bit more human after I changed. I decided to skip the shower, I’d be home soon and I would much rather take my time and have a bubble bath. I needed the stress relief. I stuffed my pajamas into the duffle bag and zipped it up, ready to go. I didn’t put my shoes on since I was going to be lying on the bed, but I did put on the pink socks Carrie had so kindly packed for me.
      I was lounging on the hospital bed and staring at the ceiling when Ethan walked in. Damn, he looked good . His dark wash jeans fit him to perfection and he was wearing a tee shirt that matched his gorgeous green eyes. His hair looked like it hadn’t seen a brush in some time, but on him it worked. It wasn’t the first time I had noticed how good looking he was, but it was the first time I noticed while simultaneously acknowledging to myself that I have sex with him.   Cue butterflies. It was the moment of truth. I was going to be going home. With him. To our house.
      “Hey, you’re looking better.” He leaned down to give me a kiss, but at the last second I turned my head and his lips landed on my cheek. His smile evaporated and I felt like an ass.
      He straightened back up and fixed the smile back on his face, but it didn’t mask the hurt I could still see in his eyes. “Are you ready to blow this joint?”
      “Yeah, let me get my shoes on.”
      I sat up and swung my legs off of the bed, but before I could get up to get my shoes Ethan had already gone to the cupboard and gotten them for me. He handed them to me and gathered up the rest of the things in there, setting them next to my duffle bag. I slipped my shoes on and stood up. I was as ready as I was ever going to be.
      “Let’s go,” I said with as much enthusiasm as I could muster.   
      Ethan picked up my belongings and thrust a hoodie at me. “It’s chilly outside, you better put this on.” I pulled it on as we walked down the hall. A small part of me was afraid to leave the relative safety of the hospital because, once at home, I was on my own. With Ethan.

Chapter Five

      We went out to the parking garage and Ethan pushed the remote he had pulled out of his jacket pocket. We walked up to the same black car I remembered from the other night. He pushed another button and the trunk popped open. Well, actually it smoothly glided up and put everything but my purse inside before closing the hatch. He walked around and opened the passenger door while I stood at the trunk like an idiot. Did I mention that being alone around a good looking man turned me into a stooge?
      I managed to make my way to the door and tucked myself into the seat. Ethan closed the door and walked around to his side but he stood there without opening it. I buckled my seatbelt and waited for him to get into the car. He didn’t. I leaned over the center console and looked out the window. He was standing there with his eyes closed. Of course a second
