We Are Not Getting Remarried: Show Yourself Out

Chapter 5

I find myself standing at the foot of the stranger’s bed in the wee hours of the morning. I

can’t sleep, and so sneaking away from my mate will probably get me in some hot water,

but I have ways of cooling it down. I always live by the saying ‘It’s easier to ask for

“Yeah, I couldn’t sleep, so I figured I would mosey on over. I see that you were able to

get his heartrate back up.”

“Yes! That’s exactly what I was hoping for when placing him in the coma. If all his vitals

do well throughout the day, I will bring him back. You most likely won’t get any answers

until tomorrow at the earliest, and that is only if he comes to on his own as well.”

Well s*it, I think to myself, how am I supposed to wait a whole day to get the answers

that I’m looking for? Something nags at me, though, almost like a little voice telling me to
