again .“ I was just wondering if you remembered anything at all today . ”
     
    “ No ,” I said, simply. 
     
    “ Well, tha t’ s okay. Give it time ,” he said.
     
    “ Yeah, I guess ,” I replied, smiling across the table at him .“ You getting sick of me yet? You probably want your bed back, huh ? ”
     
    “ Hardly ,” he replied.  “ Well, I mean I’ m not getting sick of you.  I do miss my bed, I must admit . ”
     
    “I’ m sorry.  Is n’ t there anywhere else I could sleep, so you can have it back ? ”
     
    His eyes narrowed at my suggestion.
     
    “ Nowhere I’ d want you sleeping ,” he said gruffly.
     
    “ What do you mean ?” I asked curiously.
     
    “ Nevermind.  I’ m sure any one of my brothers would be happy to offer up a bed, but I do n’ t trust them as far as I could throw them.  At least not when it comes to keeping their hands off of you . ”
     
    “ Oh. Right . ”
     
    “ Yeah ,” he said .“ Do n’ t worry about it.  W e’ ll figure something out . ”
     
    “ Where have you been sleeping ?” I asked.
     
    “ I have n’ t ,” he replied.
     
    I felt even worse than before. 
     
    “ Listen, Ryder, I just want to say thank you again.  Yo u’ ve done so much for me, and I have nothing to offer you in return.  I promise, once this is all over, I’ ll pay you back somehow for your trouble . ”
     
    “ You do n’ t owe me a thing.  You do n’ t worry about that.  You just focus on getting better, tha t’ s all I care about . ”
     
    “ Thank you ,” I said .“ Tha t’ s very kind of you . ”
     
    He chuckled loudly.
     
    “ Yeah, tha t’ s what I’ m known for - kindness.  Some people might disagree with you . ”
     
    “ I do n’ t care what anyone else thinks.  I t’ s obvious to me that you have a huge heart.  Why else would anyone do what you did ? ”
    “ Well, I could n’ t just leave you there lying on the side of the road, could I ? ”
     
    “ Sure, you could have . ”
     
    “ Well.  I did n’ t.  And now, here we are . ”
     
    “ You could have just called the cops . ”
     
    “ Tha t’ s not my style ,” he said, winking at me.  “ I try to avoid the police at all costs.  Never been very friendly with them. I guess you could say they do n’ t like the way I dress . ”
     
    I laughed, and it felt great.  It was the second time I had laughed that day, the other time being with Riot earlier.  I remembered the look on Ryde r’ s face when he walked in on us, and I wondered what he was feeling now that I had just invaded his life this way.  Was he annoyed?  He did n’ t seem to be.  Was he burdened?  If so, he was taking it in stride.
     
    “ I kinda like the way you dress ,” I said, teasingly, gesturing to his cut.  I could smell the faint smell of leather in the air every time he was around me, and it was intoxicating.
     
    Our beers and burgers arrived, and we dug in.  The beer was delicious and I downed it quickly, before I started eating.  Ryder nodded appreciatively and ordered me another one without asking if that was what I wanted.
     
    I guess it was obvious.  When I drank half of the new one just as quickly, he laughed again.
     
    “ Slow down there, Missy.  Do n’ t want you drunkenly falling off the back of my bike . ”
     
    “ Yo u’ d save me ,” I said, winking at him.  Was I flirting?  I think I was definitely flirting, and it caught me off guard a little.
     
    “ Yeah, maybe I would.  Le t’ s not risk it though.  Your face is way too pretty for any more bruises ,” he said, flirting right back.
     
    I bit my lip, marveling at how easy talking to him was.  I looked down at my hands.  No rings.  No tell-tale lingering indentations of any previously worn rings.  So, I probably was n’ t married.  But did I have a partner?
     
    I looked across the table and for the first time, hoped that I did n’ t.  I did n’ t know where my life would lead from here, but I
