Alexis opened her eyes and it was the next day. The first thing she noticed was that Elias was not in bed next to her and her father was watching the doctor change her bandages. Yawning she smiled at her father. [color=f6989d]"Morning Dad. Why are you here? It's not that bad really." [/color]The doctor snorted derisively at her comment. [color=f6989d]"Ok...well it could be worse." [/color]

[color=f7941d]"I'll give you that...you could have died...that would be worse."[/color] The doctor grunted. 

Marcus stepped forwards and clipped the doctor upside the head.[color=00aeef] "That's enough Thadeus. She knows."[/color] Alexis gave a slight smile at her father's antics. 

[color=00aeef]"Elias was taken back to his room. He is being taken care of. Alexis, I'm worried that you and Elias might not be  able to work together."[/color]

Panic set into Alexis' voice. [color=f6989d]"Why? Why would you think that? This was an unusual situation father. We will be fine together."
[/color]
Her father looked doubtful. [color=00aeef]"We'll see."[/color]

After the doctor and her father left her room she struggled to get to her feet and she took the long way around to Elias' room and slipped inside. Her hair was down around the middle of her back. She was barefoot and wearing a nightgown that went almost to the ankles.  

Alexis looked at the bed and Elias was there and he appeared to be sleeping. Grateful that he was okay she sat in the chair near his bed. She was exhausted. Sneaking around in a huge house was a lot of work if you were not in tip top shape. Within moments her eyes were closed.
