СКАЧАТЬ was so damned tired after her night shift she nearly killed herself. And,’ he added, standing over her so she had no choice but to look at him, ‘had you wiped out an entire family, no doubt it would have been left to me to deal with it. So you see, Meg—’ his lip curled around her name ‘—it is my business.’

      Despite his anger, it wasn’t a no holds barred attack, Meg realised. Not once had he mentioned the very real danger he had put himself in by staying with her throughout the ordeal, and his modest omission somehow touched her.

      He stood there for a moment, his eyes challenging her to respond, but she was too tired and too utterly defeated to argue. ‘Right, then. I’ve spoken to your parents, and I’m happy for you to be discharged tomorrow as long as you go and stay with them.’

      ‘That’s all I need,’ Meg muttered ungraciously.

      ‘I want the physio to see you before you go and run through some deep breathing exercises. Your chest is badly bruised and it’s important he sees you.’

      ‘No.’

      Flynn let out an exasperated sigh.

      ‘The catheter I can understand your objection to— but physio, for heaven’s sake? Do you have to argue about everything?’

      ‘You don’t understand.’

      ‘So enlighten me.’

      ‘Jake Reece is the Emergency physio,’ Meg started, her eyes darting around the obs ward to check that Kathy had definitely gone.

      ‘So why is that a problem?

      ‘He’s marrying my sister.’

      Flynn’s face broke into a grin then, and for a second he looked like the Flynn from this morning. ‘Jake and Kathy are getting married? That’s fantastic news.’ He seemed to remember she was there then, and stared at her, perplexed. ‘So why on earth don’t you want him to see you?’

      ‘Because, unlike you, I’m not exactly thrilled with the news.’

      ‘Why?’ He seemed genuinely bemused and Meg couldn’t believe that he didn’t understand how she was feeling.

      ‘He’s her physiotherapist, for heaven’s sake. Kathy’s handicapped. It’s wrong.’

      His face changed. She saw his bemused look change to one of distaste.

      ‘Please don’t try to tell me that you’re so politically correct you haven’t even noticed.’

      ‘Of course I’ve noticed. Kathy has also told me about it herself. Unlike you, she doesn’t seem to have a problem with it. From what I can remember of our conversation, she has mild cerebral palsy from birth, which has left her with a limp and a minor speech impediment. What she didn’t tell me, but I soon found out for myself, is that she happens to be a fun, happy, caring and very attractive woman.’

      ‘He’s ten years older than her.’

      ‘Hardly a hanging offence.’ He paused then, eyeing her carefully before continuing. ‘As you yourself pointed out, he’s her physio, not her doctor. They will have spent a lot of time together. If you got down off your high horse and actually spent some time with them, instead of judging them, you might find yourself pleasantly surprised.’

      And, after signing off her discharge papers, he left her lying there.

      Lying there for all the world wishing the ground would open up and swallow her.
