On the way to the hospital Sue was fighting an inner battle between her mind and her heart. She wasn't sure if she should tell him she found his letter. She wanted to tell him that her feelings were the same as his. But would he be angry at her that she snooped? She decided to keep it quiet until he was feeling better, then they would have a long talk. Her main priority now was to help Jack recover from his injuries.
Sue walked into the hospital with everything that he needed. The doctor was leaving his room when she approached. "How is he doctor?" She asked.
"He's doing much better. He has a long road ahead of him, but he's improving. Which is a good sign. He will be released tomorrow, he told me he has someone who will be taking care of him."
"Yes, that's me. I've taken several weeks off of work to help Jack." Sue replied.
"Well that's good to know. I wouldn't have released him this early. But he's progressing well and since he has someone to watch out for him, I thought it would be fine. If you notice any complications or if things get worse I want you to bring him back in."
"Yes doctor. I'll make sure he follows all of your instructions." She said. The doctor nodded and wished her a good day.
Sue walked into Jack's room. He looked up at her with a big grin on his face. "Did you get the news? I'm going home."
Sue smiled, she knew how Jack easily got bored in hospitals. "Yes, I saw your doctor in the hallway, he filled me in." Sue placed his bag on his bed. "I brought the things you wanted."
Jack was a little confused. "Where's Bobby?"
"He couldn't make it, he had a meeting and asked me to pick up your stuff instead. I hope you don't mind?" She replied.
"No, I don't mind. I hope my place wasn't too much of a mess."
"No, it wasn't a mess at all. I seem to recall that housekeeping was one of your hidden talents." She teased.
Jack chuckled, "Yeah well, I'm glad that you're taking care of me because I know I will be enjoying all those great meals you make."
Sue gave him a sideways glance. "So is that why you agreed for me to take care of you? So I will be cooking for you all the time?"
"No, no, I was kidding. But if you want to cook, I won't complain." Jack said winking at her.
Sue giggled, she loved teasing him and being teased by him. Her eyes drifted to his dark brown ones making contact and the butterflies began to float in her stomach. The secrets she recently uncovered made things easier but at the same time made them more difficult. How she longed to kiss him at that moment.
