myself from pulling away.
    The EMS tech, Daniel— his name tag read, looked at me uncomfortably and then back at Spencer, clearing his throat before he spoke. “Uhh, well…with all due respect, medical assessments are confidential, sir,” Daniel replied, his tone all business.
    I could feel Spencer tense beside me, amping up for a huge blowout. So before he could go off on the poor guy I replied, “It’s okay, Daniel. Spencer is my boyfriend. Whatever needs to be discussed can be discussed in front of him.” Then I quickly added with a smile, “But thank you for wanting to protect me.”
    Daniel just shook his head and then turned pointedly to me and said, “You’re going to be okay Miss Prescott—all things considered. I’m not a doctor, but from my initial examination it appears as though there’s little to worry about as far as long term injuries or brain damage, but you really should get a CAT scan just to be sure. I think it’d be best to admit you at least overnight for some tests and further evaluation.” After seeing the look on my face he must have realized the impact of his statement and he added, “It’s all just precautionary, really. You’ll be in good hands.” There was that warm, comforting smile again. He had definitely picked the right field to get into.
    Before I could respond, however, Spencer took over. “Oh, no, Daniel. That won’t be necessary. I’ll see to it that Emily gets the proper care that she needs. I’ve already ordered top-of-the-line lab equipment to be delivered straight away and I’ve also scheduled the best in-home nurse to be by her side until she’s feeling one hundred percent,” he said with a wink in Daniel’s direction, rubbing his warm hand up and down the length of my arm. Then he turned to me and said, “That is, if that’s okay with you.”
    I was surprised, when I looked at him, to see nothing but love and understanding radiating from his eyes and I could tell that he only wanted what was best for me—even after everything that I’d put him through. Sure, I was upset with him for keeping secrets from me, but I didn’t even know if what Calvin had said was true. And besides, who was I to judge? After all, I’d kept the fact that I was engaged a secret from him, so I couldn’t be too upset. Finally, I noticed the silence and realized everyone was expectantly waiting for my response, causing a blush to creep up my already brightly bruised cheeks.
    My heart skipped a beat and I replied with a whisper, “Are…are you asking me to move in with you?”
    “Yes, Emily Anne. You belong with me. My house isn’t a home without you. Besides, I have to be able to keep you safe from harm and I can’t do that when you’re all the way across town in some hospital bed, now can I?” he said, brushing my hair gently out of my face, stroking delicately with his fingers as if all was forgiven.
    In all my life I had never met someone like Spencer Ford—so loving and gentle and kind hearted and I couldn’t believe that he was all mine. And for a brief moment, the world felt normal again—like all of the horrible events of the last few months had been erased. That is, until Daniel cleared his throat, reminding us that we weren’t alone.
    I hung my head in embarrassment, but Spencer touched me gently under the chin, being careful of my bruises until my eyes met his again. He always knew just what to do and say to make me feel beautiful—even with two black eyes, soiled clothes and virtually no sleep. I felt about as unsexy as I ever had, but yet Spencer looked at me as though I was the only girl in the world and a flicker of happiness was reignited within me and I was reminded why I had fallen in love with him in the first place.
    “I uh…I’ll just leave you two alone,” Daniel said quietly, clearly embarrassed. “Miss Prescott, if you decide to come with us to the hospital—which again, is what I recommend-”
    I cut him off before he could finish his
