I woke at a start, gasping as the burning pain consumed me.

"Shhh..." someone breathed next to me, "it's alright. Don't be afraid. You're safe now, my love."

I turned my head to find Paris lying on the other side of the bed, watching me softly as he gave me an assuring smile.

"Don't worry," he told me, pulling some hair out of my lashes and tucking it behind my ear. "The doctor said you'll be okay."

My lashes fluttered at the calmness washing through me at his gesture.

"How long have I been asleep...?" I asked him gently, still feeling the wound on my shoulder burn, but it wasn't as painful as I remember.

"A couple days," he said, giving me a sad smile as he tucked more hair away from my face. "You had some brain trauma when you fell off the tree."

I stared at the ceiling then, blood running cold. "Oh...."

"My doctor had to put some meds in you to help you sleep off your concussion. Brain rest, I think. And he checked out your wounds, as well."

"Do I have brain damage?" I asked him carefully.

Paris shook his head, making me exhale a long breath.

"Also," he stated, running his fingers gently down my arm, "the wound that he caused?" He gently touched the bandage on my shoulder. "It's not fatal. The bullet grazed it, and the knife didn't go too deep. So it should heal like a bit of a deep wound. The bleeding stopped two days ago, and good old doc said I could give you a shower when you wake up. Do you want to now?"

I nodded, feeling sticky and crusty with all the dried blood and sweat stuck to me.

"Here," Paris said, sliding off the bed as he made it to me, "do you need help up?"

I nodded, and he slipped his hand under my back, making me exhale a groan due to me lying here for a couple days. My muscles needed a workout.

"Did you know I'd wake up today?" I asked him as he guided my feet off the bed.

"It was either today or tomorrow," he answered, holding my arm as I tried to get up.

The moment my knees buckled, he caught me and held my waist as we walked to the bathroom.

"Have you been lying next to me all day?" I asked him then.

"I had nothing else to do," Paris answered.

I smiled at his kindness. "I love you, Paris."

He gazed at me and returned the grin. "I love you, too."

And halfway to the bathroom, I felt my leg muscles start working now, and he released me a little as we walked in.

I still felt faint and weak, but I could walk.

I wasn't too high in the tree, so I didn't think I broke my spine or anything. And I didn't injure any limbs because I landed on my back.

Except for my shoulder that Ryan shot.

I winced.

The thought of him made my stomach turn.

Paris turned the nob of his luxury shower and let it heat up while I sat on the toilet.

"Here," he whispered, pulling the straps of my bra down. "Sorry about stripping you while you were sleeping. We needed to make sure you had no other wounds."
