Maya's POVMom braked in mid-stride and spun back to me, her face etched with a frown. "Maya, not at all. You've just heard what the doctor told you, you need to rest. The last thing you need to be doing is gallivanting around town seeing people.""It won't take long," I said quickly, glancing over at Theresa for support. "We're just going to drop in, that's it. Thirty minutes, max. Perhaps less."Theresa smiled in my direction, nodding energetically. "Yeah, it's not like we're on our way to a party or something. We just want to drop in and check on how she is. We'll be in and out in no time."Mom's eyes narrowed, and I could almost see her weighing the options in her mind. She didn't approve. She clearly wished me to be in the house, wrapped up in a blanket with soup and a scolding."Please, Mom?" I pleaded, using my best whiny voice. "We'll be careful. And you don't even have to let us go alone, you could take us there if you'd like.".Mom crossed her arms and breathed deeply. "Ok

Maya's POVFor an instant, I thought I would answer. I could just tell him I was fine. One-minute call. That would not be hurting anybody, would it?But then I looked up to notice Theresa walk into the room, and sit on the edge of my bed, scrolling through her phone. I was not going to be able to discuss him with her present. I hadn't even told her about him. I didn't know if I was ready yet.I let the phone ring until it died, then quickly flipped it over into airplane mode and shoved it under my pillow. Out of sight. Out of mind."You're not answering that?" she asked, glancing over at me."Wrong number," I fibbed hastily.She rolled her eyes but did not ask again. "I'm going to shower," she said instead, standing up and taking off her top.I sat beside the bed, watching her go into the bathroom. The door clicked shut and a minute or so afterwards I heard the water running. There was silence in the room that was just a tad too acute.It was a minute before Mom knocked on the door

Maya's POVLater, Theresa stepped out of the bathroom wearing a white towel wrapped around her waist. "Come on, Maya, you rest while they are coming."I trailed behind her, still dressing, and unfolding my body lotions.Theresa washed herself, and started getting dressed beside me. "You know," she said softly, "I truly do care what is best for you, Maya."I looked her in the eye, my voice soft. "I know. I just wish sometimes you'd let me make that choice."She smiled a little before she reached out and grasped my hand. "Perhaps I should. But let's just wait and see what occurs at the moment."I nodded slightly.Once I had gotten dressed, I sat down on the bed and regarded Theresa."If they come, just have them come up," I said to her. "I don't want to have to strain myself to go down again."She nodded readily. "I don't think they'll mind that at all."There was a knock at the door downstairs immediately."I'll get it," she said, dashing off.In less than a minute, she was back wit

Maya's POVI adjusted my shoulders a bit square, gritting determination into my voice. "I'm fine. The problem is, my mom. I don't think she'll let me go if she's not absolutely sure I'm all right. But don't worry, I'll figure out how to get around her."Andrew sighed and glanced down at his phone. "My friend isn't answering my call. I'm going over there so I can tell him about the yacht in person.""I'll go with you," Regan offered on impulse."I want to go too," Theresa said, then paused, looking at me. "But Maya can't stay home alone."Regan shook his head again. "Then I'll stay with Maya if you do plan to leave."Andrew smiled reassuringly at me. "I'll be right back, okay?"Theresa touched my shoulder lightly, her tone teasing but restrained. "Take care of my best friend when I'm not around," she said to Regan.Regan nodded, his gaze for an instant met hers. "Don't worry. I'll take care of her."And that was it, Theresa and Andrew were both gone, with only the two of us- me and Reg

Maya's POVI let out a breath I hadn't realized I was holding, my hand reflexively clenching the blanket wrapped around my waist. "I'm better too. A bit exhausted, but nothing like yesterday."He tilted his head to the side, eyes flashing with something cunning. "Your body's healing quick. Strong. I knew you weren't as fragile as you attempted to lead me to believe."I rolled my eyes, though the heat that crept up my neck betrayed me. “Don’t make it sound weird. I’m still recovering, remember?”He chuckled, low and smooth. “I remember. Doesn’t stop me from noticing you.”Before I could even formulate a response, a loud knock came at the door. I jumped involuntarily, my stomach churning. Regan stood up immediately, his eyes roaming in the direction of the door as though he hadn't expected anyone so early.There was another knock, and it was followed by Theresa's familiar voice. "Maya? Awake?"I exchanged a hurried glance with Regan before answering, "Yeah!The door creaked open and The
