Eros
She looks so small in that enormous bed as Dr. Kalivas checks her over. The Greek doctor is an old friend of the Khazan family, but I can't stop myself from hovering closely, making sure Cara is completely safe.
"She'll be okay," the old doctor says and gives me a tired smile. "All she needs is rest."
"Are you sure? There's no head injury? No concussion?"
"No, nothing like that, only minor lacerations. She'll bruise, but I've patched the minor cuts. She'll be okay."
Relief floods me. "Thank you, doctor."
He nods and leaves the room. Lycus will pay him on the way out.
For now, I have eyes only for Cara.
She smiles at me, sitting up straight in bed, her hands folded in her lap. "I'll be honest, I thought the wedding certificate signing would be the most eventful part of today."
