But so did the boy that left town for Talent Quest.
I rub my hands over my face and amble out of the room. I double take at the broad man in all-black, still standing guard outside Wyatt’s door. Why is he still here? Does Wyatt have a stalker or something?
Eep.
Was a stalker involved in his accident and that’s why his team has been so secretive about it in the press?
As I move into the hall, I bump into a tall woman in a light blue uniform.
“Oh, I’m sorry,” I say, straightening myself up.
“No, totally my fault,” she says, steadying her footing. “I was just on my way to see Wyatt. I’m Savanna, his physical therapist.”
“Oh, hi. Umm, he’s asleep.”
“Ah, no bother then.” She eyes me questioningly. “Are you Josie?”
“Umm, yes. How did you know?”
The question disappears, leaving a twinkle in her eye. “Just our boy in there has mentioned you one or two times.”
Is it possible to blush too many times in one day? “He did?”
She turns around, walking me down the hall. “He’s been waiting like a kid on Christmas.”
“Well, I have to admit, I’m pretty thrilled to be here with him.”
“You’re friends from school, right?”
“Yep, we were pretty close.”
She nudges me with a wink. “I’ve heard you’re more special than the other kids back home.”
I rub behind my neck, peeling off the slick curls sticking to my skin.
Savanna moves toward the elevator, hitting the down button. “I won’t need to see Wyatt tonight. I just wanted to check in with him before I clocked out. To be perfectly frank, he’s my favorite client.”
“He is? That’s not hard to believe.”
Savanna folds her arms, smiling as she falls into thought. “We get so many celebrity-types in the clinic. I never met any like Wyatt. He’s so reserved, polite, and super sweet. It’s refreshing not to have a diva attitude to contend with.”
“That’s totally how I’d describe Wyatt when he was back home.”
“He seems like fame couldn’t have changed him too much.”
I bite my lip, contemplating the statement. Unfortunately, with his memory wiped, I have no idea how much he really changed since becoming a household name.
“Everything okay?” Savanna asks, holding the elevator doors open before she steps inside.
I jump out of my thoughts. “Yeah, totally. Oh, wait, before you go. Umm, Wyatt was asking about some kind of elastic. For his hand exercise, or something.”
“Oh, I thought I left one in the room for him.”
I wince. “I couldn’t find it.”
“That’s okay. I have plenty.” She beckons me to follow as the elevator doors ping open. “I’ll give you one to take back with you.”
I step inside with her. “Thanks.”
