Just like he had said, Christopher was released the next morning, and Kelly
offered to pick him up and drive him to his house. After all, she had the
day off, and his original plan to get home was to take a taxi.
When she arrived at the hospital, Christopher was sitting in a wheel chair at the patient pick up doors. As she parked in front of the doors, he used the crutches to push himself to his feet before slowly making his way to her car. After helping him get seated in her car, she pushed the wheel chair back into the hospital before getting back in the car and driving away. At first, Christopher seemed uncomfortable, and Kelly couldn't help but to feel bad.
"If you're uncomfortable, we could probably adjust the seat. Give you a little more leg room or something."
"Don't worry about it, I'm fine. This is a nice car that you have. I always wanted to get a Mustang, but I could never afford it."
"Thanks. An old employer actually bought it for me. I sorta needed it for work and then when I left he just sorta let me keep it."
"Wow. I wish I had an employer like that. I assume it wasn't a nursing job though?"
"No, I just got into nursing recently. I'd rather not talk about my previous job though."
"Ok, that's fine. Would it be ok if we got together for dinner sometime though. To talk about other things that is."
"Are you asking me out on a date?"
"I guess I am. Assuming you don't already have a boyfriend of course. You don't have a boyfriend, do you?"
"No. Dinner sounds nice."
"Great."
By that time, Kelly was pulling up to his house. After exchanging numbers, Kelly helped him into his house and made sure he was ok before leaving. The entire way home, Kelly couldn't get Christopher out of her mind. He was undeniably cute, but usually Kelly needed more then that to get that hooked to a man. She wasn't surprised to have a message waiting for her when she got home though. It was Christopher, and he wanted to know if she could have dinner with him that night. Not having much to think about, she immediately called him back and accepted the invitation.
For the next three months, they took things easy as he continued to recover, but they never lost touch. Before Kelly knew it, she was hearing from him everyday and seeing him as many days as she had free. By the time the third month was over, his leg was completely healed and their relationship began to get more serious. Kelly was unusually comfortable with him, although she had yet to tell him about her previous job as a detective, or about the shooting that had almost taken her life. Everything was going great until they reached the six-month point and Christopher started wanting more of a commitment.
