"It seems so much bigger than last time." Jen breathed as the limo pulled
up to Collinswood.
"I guess it does. I never really noticed before." Wes agreed seeing his home in a new light.
"Welcome to our home Jen." Mr. Collins said opening the door for her as the car pulled up to the front steps. "I've taken the liberty of hiring two top notch physical therapists for you."
"When are they arriving?" Wes asked getting out of the opposite door.
"Master Wes. How many times must I remind you that it is my job to open the door for you?" Philips chided frowning at Wes.
"Aw Philips, I've been opening the door for my own car for over two years now. Call it a vacation." Wes complained.
"Well if you're riding in you're car that's one thing. But when you're riding in MY car indulge me and let me open the door for you."
"All right. All right! You win!" Wes said throwing his hands up in surrender.
Jen laughed she could see that Philips was more than a butler to the family. He was a part of it.
"Well milady. It's time to enter your castle." Wes said gently picking her up from the seat. Jen's heart skipped a beat as she took in the heady scent of Wes' cologne. It felt so right to be in his arms again. It felt natural. A car horn broke her reverie.
"And here are your therapists Jen" Mr. Collins said as Dana and Carter stepped out of the black Mercedes.
"Now that's what I call riding in style." Carter said as he pulled his bag out of the car.
"She's a beauty isn't she?" Mr. Collins said approaching Carter and shaking his hand "Welcome."
"You look a lot better than when I last saw you." Dana said smiling at Jen.
"I didn't know you did physical therapy." Jen said smiling back.
"I studied it extensively when I was a resident at Mariner Bay Med. "It was better seeing people putting their lives back together rather than having them shattered."
"And I'm the fitness trainer at the aqua base so I was the next obvious choice to come along with Dana." Carter added.
Wes felt Jen stiffen in his arms. He looked down at her she was staring at Phillips taking a wheelchair out of the trunk of the limo. "Easy Jen, you're not going to need that for long." He said softly. "It's just until you get back on your feet and that day will come soon."
Jen nodded slowly. That day wouldn't come soon enough for her.
"We'll get things set up tonight and then start tomorrow morning all right Jen." Carter said breaking the silence that hung over all of them.
"A-All, right" She stammered.
Wes put her down in the chair. As Phillips began pushing it into the house Wes stopped him and looked into his eyes. Phillips nodded and moved away from the chair. Wes continued pushing the chair.
As they watched everyone go into the house Carter sidled up to Dana. "You think she'll recover?"
"I don't know we'll have to wait and see. Physically she may be ready but this is more than a physical injury. Emotionally I just don't know." Dana said watching an SUV pull up to the house. "Let's go and unload our equipment. I don't want to push her too hard already."
Carter nodded and started walking toward the SUV.
Later that evening Jen sat alone in her room. "Why?" She said to no one in particular pounding angrily on her useless legs. Tears came to her eyes. There was a soft knock on the door. "Come in." She said quickly wiping her tears away. Dana pushed the door open and walked in carrying a tray.
"I thought you might be hungry." She said putting it down on a small table in the middle of the room.
"Thank you." Jen said soflty.
"Are you all right Jen?" Dana asked seeing her puffy red eyes.
"No." She answered her lips quavering. "This isn't right and it isn't fair. I've always fought the good fight and look where it's gotten me." Jen said angrily tears rolling down her cheeks.
"I know Jen. It isn't fair. But bad things happen to good people. We just have to overcome this and move on. I'll help you if you let me." Dana said kneeling in front of Jen. "You've got to channel your anger and use it to start walking again. Will you do that?"
Jen nodded.
"Then we'll get started tomorrow. Get some rest you're going to need it. We'll be working really hard tomorrow."
"I guess it does. I never really noticed before." Wes agreed seeing his home in a new light.
