All Chapters of Palmer's Dance: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Christopher woke up to see the morning sun sneaking through the window. He sighed and checked the time. It was nine in the morning. Last night he had called Daisy to let her know Palmer was staying over, telling her that she fell asleep and he didn’t want to wake her up. He felt guilty for lying to her, but nothing else came to mind, and it seemed like a good excuse.As he rubbed his face, he looked to his side to find Palmer sleeping soundly. Memories of their intimacy came through his mind. The way their bodies melted into each other’s, how beautiful she looked under the sheets with him.Christopher hoped he hadn’t hurt her. He thought about how amazing it was and how it was worth it to have his first time with her. “I hope you don&r

“Are you sure you’re ready to go back to the clinic? You can stay here a few more days,” Thomas asked Grace while she was getting dressed for her first day back with her patients. He spent some nights with her, trying to keep her company and make sure she would be okay. “I’ll be fine. There’s no point in me staying here all day, every day. My patients need me,” she replied, putting her hair up in a bun. Thomas approached her and put his arms around her waist, kissing her shoulder.“It’s just that I worry about you.”“Are you sure it’s not because of that new doctor?” She asked with a smile, surprising him, “Oh, don’t

Christopher took his cell phone out and tried to call 911. “Yes, my name is Christopher Melbourne. I am one mile east of the Wright ranch. We were riding the horses, and my girlfriend fell off hers. Please, send someone! She’s unconscious,” he said to the emergency operator. The operator told him they’ll be there in no time, and as soon as he hung up, he called Palmer’s home and explained to them what happened. Daisy was worried, and she quickly put her sweater and boots on and ran to her truck. “James!” She yelled, making James come out of the stables, “It’s Palmer! Goliath knocked her off!”He stopped what he was doing and got in her truck before they drove off to the teens' location.The ambulance

Grace walked down the stairs to join Thomas in the kitchen. He took the cake out of the oven and put it on the counter to cool for her. “Turning into quite the domestic man, huh?” She asked, leaning against the doorway. She had put a pink flowered apron on him, just for fun, and he had felt emasculated, but in the end, he was having a good time with her. “Well, if I want to belong to my lady and her son’s life, I have to learn to do things for them. I remembered not having as much time for Lauren as I’m doing for you. I just want to make up for it,” he replied, taking his apron off and hanging it on the rack. “How is he?”Grace took a deep breath, shaki

“Dude, wait up!” Gunner called, trying to stop Christopher from walking any further. He stopped and turned around, looking ashamed and guilty. Gunner caught up to him in the parking lot before he tried to make him talk. “Please, dude! Whatever happened there, go back and fix it! Don’t let Hunter ruin what you and Palmer have! He was just talking nonsense, and you know it!”“He’s right, though. I don’t even know what Palmer sees in me, Gunner. Look at me! I’m paler than a glass of milk, and I’m not good enough for her. She’s smart, funny, and beautiful. I’m none of those things!” Christopher replied, feeling like his heart was squeezing inside his chest.
