Andy sat down on the couch and expelled a long breath and looked around. He had lived on the island most of his life but had never been inside any of the hotels. It was quaint. It had flowers everywhere. It looked like Jordan, comfortable and cozy. He flipped the television on and watched the news for a while before getting his laptop out to work. He wasn't sure how long she had slept but when she woke he saved his file and closed the computer. Jordan walked out of the room slowly. Andy was up in a flash and at her side. He held her elbow and led her to the couch. Going to the bed he snatched off the pillows and propped them up under her thigh. She grimaced as he did so. "I'll get your pain medicine. Are you hungry?" he didn't wait for her to reply. He had a glass of water and a pill ready and waiting for her. She sipped the water slowly. "Thank you." She studied him for a moment before handing the glass back. "How do you feel?" He asked. She thought for a moment before responding. "Like a train wreck, but I'll feel better after a few more nights of sleep in a comfortable bed." He smiled down at her and rubbed her cheek. "You are a brave woman." They stared at each other for a moment before Andy broke the spell. He walked to the tiny kitchenette and set the glass on the counter.
He sat on the chair opposite her and they chitchatted a few minutes about dinner. Finally settling on pizza, he picked up the phone and placed the order. Jordan took this as her moment to rise and head to the bathroom. Her limbs were sore and the pain medicine was beginning to help take the edge off. Silently she limped out of the room and left him ordering pizza. toward the bathroom where she fully intended on taking a hot bath but then realized that would not be wise with twelve staples in her leg so she did the next best thing a warm wash rag.
Jordan emerged half an hour later the smell of pepperoni pizza assaulted her nostrils and her stomach growled in response. Andy smiled at her and set his laptop on the floor beside the chair. "Feeling a bit better?" He asked smiling at her. Returning his smile she nodded. "Much better, thanks." He patted the couch and she slowly made her way over. Once settled Andy brought the box over and set it between them. They chewed the gooey masterpiece in silence. The evening passed with a quiet comrade as they watched a movie and she fell asleep his arms wrapped protectively around her shoulders. He lifted her gently and placed her on the cool sheets of the bed. Pulling the covers up as he would a child.
