Loving You (Remembrance Series, Book 2) Read Online Free Page B

I’m really frustrated that I can’t do more.”
    “So what exactly did Dr. Kurtz tell you?”
    “He’s scratching his head on how my arm is almost completely healed. The cast could technically come off now, but he wants to give it an extra week and then put me in a splint for a week or two, as a precautionary measure.” I would definitely be counting down the days until the thing came off. It was itchy and slowed down my ability to type.
    He laughed a bit. “I guess you have some form of super healing in his eyes. What about the ribs and your dizziness?”
    “The ribs are mending, faster than he anticipated, but I’m still unable to lift anything. The concussion is healed, so he’s puzzled on my inability to stand for long. He would like me to consult with a vertigo specialist on Friday. He thinks I might have ruptured my inner ear during the accident, so it might not be functioning properly or, I could have an infection. Either way, my center of balance is off. Until that is resolved, I am unable to drive or return to work full-time.”
    Gregory looked in deep thought for a moment, as he moved to the closet on the other side of my bedroom and grabbed a pair of shorts to change into. His voice was barely a whisper, but I heard him. “I wonder if I…could it be possible to help it heal, since it is close to the surface? Research, that’s what I need.”
    “You need to research what?” The words were out of my mouth before I realized I said them. Great, my secret was out, now.
    His head whipped around with a startled look. “How did you hear what I was saying? I could barely even hear myself think.”
    “I’ve always had good hearing; but lately, unless my mind is occupied, I can hear mom talking on the phone across the other side of the house with my bedroom door closed. If you want to keep something from me, you need to keep an internal thought process, for now.”
    “Could this be a new power for you?”
    “I don’t know if it is necessarily new or has just increased in strength. I’ve been able to hear just above a whisper for a couple of months, now.”
    He shook his head and laughed. “Looks like I’m going to have to watch what I say around you and you’re going to have to watch what you have up on the computer screen around me. I can tell you are trying to hide that you’re still working. You have already put in two hours, today. It’s time you shut your computer off for tonight and have some dinner.”
    By the time I was done shutting down the laptop, he had changed into comfortable clothes and was ready to carry me into the dining room. “How am I supposed to get my strength back if you are always carrying me around?”
    Gregory leaned in to kiss me full on the mouth. “I just want to hold you close and practice carrying you over the threshold.”
    “Okay, enough of that, you two,” my mother said, admonishingly.
    We both laughed a little, as he placed me at the table to eat. I felt bad that I was unable to help her, but Mom seemed happiest when she was looking after someone. She had to look after my dad for years, before he passed, and was thrilled to have me around now, all day.
    Talk around the dinner table turned to Gregory’s work, then to the doctor’s visit and ended with an update on the wedding. Both of them were unhappy with how many hours I had spent on the computer, today, so they decided to gang up on me and monitor my computer time from now on. So I wouldn’t stress over work.
    “Have you looked through any of the bridal magazines, Jordan?” Mom had wondered.
    “Yes ma’am.”
    Mom’s eyes lit up with excitement. “Did you find a dress that you fancy or would like to see, if any of the area dress shops have it?”
    I shook my head. “There were a couple of dresses that were okay. I mainly found bits and pieces about a few dresses that I liked, but nothing that said ‘I have to try this one’.”
    Gregory spoke up. “My mother has a couple of friends who own
