#Chapter 71: A Proposal?

I'm sitting at my desk in the Alpha's mansion, looking over some of the notes that I made during my last check up appointment with Emmett. Thankfully, his recovery has gone very well, though he still needs even more rest than he did before.

Everyone "in the know" is even more protective over him than we used to be. He's also given up his afternoon tea completely, which is sad but understandable. I wonder if the poor man will ever be able to drink tea again.

Honestly, it just makes me so

Jeanette has not been particularly approving of Evelyn until very recently, after his father's poisoning.He knows that she values Evelyn as a doctor, but perhaps she will feel differently if she knows that her son just proposed to the woman. Marcus bites his lip, reconsidering."Marcus, are you going to stand out there all day, or are you going to come in?" Jeanette calls from inside. "I

  "Ouch!" Brady says from where he's lying on the guest room bed. "Damn it, Doc, is this really necessary?""Is it necessary to stretch your leg muscles while you're laid up post-surgery and can't walk for another four weeks at the least?" I ask drily, raising one eyebrow and staring down at him. "I don't know, Brady, what do you think?""All right, all right," he grumbles. "I'm just saying. Ouch."

  "When's the last time you took a day off?" the Alpha asks me as I note his blood pressure down in my chart. I look up at him, surprised."Well, I don't know," I say. "Never, I guess. But I've only been working here a few months, Emmett. In most jobs, that's not enough time to even build up vacation days, much less have had time to take them.""Well, this isn't most other jobs," the Alpha points out, rolling down his shirt sleeve. "For many reasons, not least of which is that you've alrea

  So much for my lovely afternoon of shopping, I think sourly as I speed back to the mansion as fast as I dare. I'm going to have to speak to Marcus and Emmett about this immediately.I really, really shouldn't have given Anton the afternoon off. He was reluctant, but I'd insisted, because I assumed that nothing bad was going to happen in the middle of a crowded, sunny street in broad daylight.Apparently, I was very wrong.

  "Absolutely not.""But, Kent –""Nicole, we had a deal! We need you here, to be available in case anything happens to one of us again. I mean, my god, Brady is still upstairs recovering! Who is going to look after him? And we've had multiple near misses this past week alone - we just talked about this!""Kent, I'm sorry, and we can figure something out! Brady could get an in-home nurse –""Who will start to ask questions, no doubt?""We could find someone who –""And even if I wasn't worried about Brady, which I am, what about the rest of us? What if Torsten gets shot and there's no one to help in the middle of the night, because you're off playing house with your new boyfriend?""Kent, that's unfair."Kent takes a deep breath, rubs his face. We're sitting at my kitchen table, our cheerful surroundings contrasting sharply with the seriousness of our conversation.

  "I thought I told you to just survive for one night!" Kent says shakily. We're crowded in the kitchen - Kent, Brady, Jack, two regular officers, and myself."To be fair, boss, we did survive," Brady says. He's slumped in his wheelchair with a blanket thrown over his lap; Kent and Jack had carried him downstairs while I brought the wheelchair. "The Doc here was a real hero - you should've seen her go at that guy with the lamp.""You didn't see it, either," I pointed out.

He comes out of the kitchen with a raised eyebrow. "Just making your coffee. I think I've almost got this machine figured out, I swear."I burst out laughing. "It's been five years, honey. I think if you were going to get along with that machine, it would've happened by now."

She steps back from the mirror we're both looking in after adjusting my veil and clasps her hands in front of her."Me, too," I breathe, lifting a hand to touch my face. Jeanette slaps it away, playfully."What are you doing?" she exclaims. "You're going to ruin all of Maya's hard work. You look stunning, my dearest. Don't smudge your foundation, I beg of you.

Marcus raises his eyebrows at me in question, and I shrug. "What's up?""What's up is that I have some fantastic news for you," Jack says at the other end of the line.

"Some of us are going to be in this bloody hotel for the next decade, if the fire department has anything to say about it.""It's not the fire department's fault that Nicole's ex-boyfriend is a psychotic arsonist," Marcus responds, shooting me a wicked little grin. I whack his arm playfully.
