without it? Among us, only Ariel was into the whole green tea and vegetarian thing, which I never understood, but whatever.
I had no idea I would be forced to become one.
I decided to check what was on my plate and thank God, there was a small bowl of soup. It smelled wonderful and I couldn’t wait to try it.
“ You need to eat something that will go easy on your stomach.” I nodded and took the spoon and tried out the soup; it was delicious. At least my taste and smell was still there.
“ If you don’t mind, where is everyone?” One of the reasons I wanted to come downstairs was to see what this place was all about.
So far, I hadn’t seen anyone but her and that stupid nurse, who I wanted to punch in the face.
“ They’re working, though they will be back soon. Dinner is in about an hour.”
“ So, will I have to work as well?” I asked.
Marie was frowning when she turned around with one hand on her hip and focused her eyes on me.
“ You have experience in ranching?”
“ Well, no, but I just assumed since other patients like me—”
“ There is no one like you here; only you.”
“ But how is that possible?” What the hell? Was he even licensed to do shit like this? I thought they put me in some professional care; apparently not. “Nurses and doctors and all the equipment?”
“ They are here on Nate’s request. He had an agreement with Jeremy.”
Shit, so it was probably some private kind of rehabilitation. I didn’t feel that great about it. Not to be rude or anything, but the idea of being the only freak out there didn’t exactly make me happy.
Just what the hell does he have planned for me?

“ Look, man, I may be pissed at her for doing what she did, but I don’t want her to suffer.” The harsh tone of Jeremy’s voice annoyed my ear.
“ She won’t suffer more than she has to.”
“ Yeah, right. I know you have some unresolved issues with her, but it’s been almost a month. Don’t you think we can visit and talk?”
It was the same argument all over again, and I was getting tired of it. I understood where they were coming from, but I also knew they were the last thing she needed right now. She had to be with new people and in a completely different environment. I glanced out the window; it was snowing and the view was beautiful and mesmerizing.
Winter was my favorite time of year. It was the only time as a child when I didn’t feel like shit for being a freak who stayed home when everyone else was playing outside with friends.
“ No.”
“ Fine. But I’m coming in a month to check on her whether you like it or not.” With those words, he hung up.
He wasn’t calling the shots here---I was. They hadn’t been good enough for my girl. I didn’t trust them to make her feel better now.
It was hard to listen to her cries and screams, which were begging for her release. She had no idea, but I’d sat outside her door and suffered right along with her. I’d wanted to be near her, even if I couldn’t touch her. I needed for it to be over as much as she did. I had this stupid and fucked-up idea that I was close enough to her, I could give her some strength to fight.
Those were the hopes of a desperate man.
A knock on the door snapped me back to the present and made me frown.
I was never interrupted when I was in my office; people knew better than that. It was one of the many reasons I loved this place as much as I did.
“ Come in!” I shouted, and the door slowly opened. Rose entered the room and I groaned inwardly. Wearing tight jeans, a blouse, and full makeup with her hair loose, she smiled seductively. I bet a lot of men thought she was hot. She was nice to look at.
She did nothing for me.
I knew she was trouble the minute she’d arrived here, but she was a damned good nurse, who knew how to work with cases like ours. Most importantly, she knew how to keep her mouth shut. So far, I’d been able to overlook her smiles and invitations, but
