Serendipity, picket fence and all.
âNah. Cara offered to let me take the spare room at her new condo.â
Mike ignored the hot flush of jealousy creeping through his veins. It was as unwarranted as it was ridiculous. Sam and Cara were best friends and partners, but there was nothing sexual between them. And even if there was, Mike didnât plan to pick up where theyâd left off, so what was his problem?
âThat was nice of her to offer.â Mike forced out the words.
âYeah. I might take her up on it,â Sam said, sounding groggier by the minute.
âHey, did you click on your meds while I wasnât looking?â Mike gestured to the button attached to his brotherâs IV.
Sam nodded, a goofy grin on his face. âYeah. Feeling no pain, my man.â
Mike rolled his eyes. Time for him to go. He braced his hand on the bed and rose to his feet. âYou get some sleep. Iâll come by after work. Mom said to tell you theyâll be here around lunchtime.â
âOkay. They came late last night for a quick hello, but I was pretty out of it.â
âYeah, but they both slept better for seeing you.â
Sam didnât reply. He was already passed out cold. Mike shook his head and walked out. First stop coffee shop, then heâd get lost in work. Later on today, heâd deal with Cara Hartley.
