James nodded.
"We need to talk to the police."
"Isabella is in jail. Right now we're safe. And I'm exhausted. We can talk to them in the morning. Please."
"Of course." I rested my head back down on his shoulder.
"Don't leave this time." He yawned.
"I won't. I promise."

"Hey, lovebirds," Mason said.
Bee laughed.
I slowly opened my eyes. James was smiling. He looked so handsome. He looked just like himself again. Everything was going back to normal. Everything was good again.
"Hey, guys," I said and sat up. "It must be a good sign if they're letting non-family visit."
"I think so," Mason said. "Although we would have snuck in either way. Doctors are the worst."
He looked so much better than he had the other day. I knew it was his investigators that had helped find out that Isabella had snuck into James' hospital room. It was because of him that Porter had come up to my apartment. It was because of him Rob and I weren't dead. But before I could say anything, James cut in.
"Congratulations, you two," James said and tried to sit up. He grimaced a little less than he had yesterday. "I'm so sorry I missed it. Tell me everything."
"What?" Bee said.
Mason was rapidly shaking his head.
"Still a little out of it?" Bee asked and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"Yeah, I guess."
"We were so worried about you. You really didn't miss much. We've just been waiting for you to wake up." She smiled at him.
"Yeah, man," Mason said. "We only left the hospital to eat and sleep. He put his hand on Bee's shoulder. When Bee turned back toward us, Mason shook his head again and repeatedly mouthed what I thought was, "Shut the fuck up."
James yawned. "It's so good to see you guys. Thanks for sticking around. Sorry I made you wait so long."
"Nowhere we'd rather be," Mason said with a smile. Whatever he had been secretly trying to tell James, he seemed content that James had gotten the hint. "You gave us all a scare."
"Getting shot will do that, I guess."
"It's seriously too soon to joke about it," Bee said. "Can we get you anything?"
"No. You guys should go home. Spend some time just the two of you."
"What the fuck?" Mason mouthed silently at him.
"Are you sure?" Bee said. "We thought maybe we could all have breakfast together."
"We have to talk to the police anyway," James said. "There's still a few more things we need to sort out."
"I think we're being dismissed," Bee said with a laugh.
