.He d come back.For her. I think what we feel deserves a chance, he explained, his voice low in her ear. I don t want towalk away from it. I d like to be there for the operation. She wanted nothing more than to watch over him, keep himsafe. But I have clients to take care of and rent to pay The other man made a show of tapping his watch. Maybe you could join him in a week or two. Olivia, meet Scott Jones, my agent, Brandon said. You don t have to listen to anything he says.Personally I m finding that quite liberating.Now she understood why this other person was so upset.Brandon was risking his career bycoming here.She grinned at Brandon s tongue-in-cheek comment but spoke to Scott. Won t theoperation be over by then? You could make it for the recovery, Scott said. That s the most important part, anyway.Not to her.She wanted to be there to support Brandon through the whole thing.She wanted to gowith him now.She could refer her clients to another planner she knew in River City.That wasn t the tough part.The tough part was paying her rent without that income. He s right, Brandon said. I m being selfish.I ve just missed you so much.If it s too hard, youcan come later.She considered the money in her savings account.She d put that away to get her through difficulttimes, had promised herself she wouldn t touch it except in an emergency.Was she willing to spend it on love?Everyone she knew would probably tell her she was being foolish, reckless.If Brandon recovered,he d return to his career.But when she was with Kyle, and even long before that, she d been soresponsible, methodical, cautious and that hadn t saved her from heartbreak.If Brandon could riskhis career for her, she supposed she could risk her career for him.  I ll throw some clothes in a bag.The rest I can handle via the internet, she said and smiledhappily as his arms tightened around her and he buried his face in her neck.

Brandon could see the ceiling lights of a hospital flashing overhead as two male orderlieswhisked the gurney he was lying on down the hall.Was he on his way to the operating room? If so, the anesthesia wasn t working.That caused him amoment s concern.But maybe he was on his way back. Is it&  His throat was so dry he could hardly speak. Is it over?One of the orderlies tossed him a professional smile as they continued to navigate the crowdedhall. After six hours? I should hope so, Mr.Lucero, he responded in a British accent.Brandon searched the faces of the people who were coming and going.Most were doctors, nursesor patients.He couldn t see Olivia, but he knew she was in the hospital, somewhere.She wouldn tabandon him.He also knew he wasn t the same man he d been even two months ago because the next questionout of his mouth wasn t whether or not he d be able to ski again. Where s my girlfriend? She s waiting in your room, and we re just getting there now.They slowed so they could maneuver the bed through a doorway, and Olivia hurried to reach hisside. How are you? she asked, obviously worried as they wheeled him in. Better now that it s over, he said. At least I hope I m better.Have you talked to my doctor? He came to see me as soon as he finished. And?She stroked the side of his face. It was a bone infection.He wasn t sure how your doctor in theStates missed it, considering it was so extensive.He had to scrape away the infected area and drain acouple of abscesses.But he said, with antibiotics and some physiotherapy, you should recovercompletely. She pecked his lips. We can call Scott and tell him the good news as soon as you re notso groggy.He wasn t thinking as clearly as usual, but he was clear about one thing. Scott can wait. He s dying to hear the results. But I m not sure what the results will be.She straightened. What do you mean? Everything s going to be fine.The doctor s sure he got itall. I don t know if I ll try to hit the circuit next fall.Her jaw dropped. Why not?A grin quirked his lips. Love is making me soft, I guess.Obviously surprised, she took his hand.
