Cowboy for Keeps
“He sat up, ignoring all the parts of him that protested with shooting pain. It wasn’t his shoulder, his hip or his back or nightmares that kept him up for most of the night. It was Amanda.
She’d heaped the guilt on the day before. Pride. She’d thought he was too proud to be seen in the wheelchair. He hadn’t needed her to point out to him that there were people who couldn’t get out of their chairs. She’d acted like he didn’t know this… He knew better than anyone that he could have very easily be...en one of them.
He carefully swung his legs over the edge of the bed, stood for a minute before easing into the wheelchair. He could feel the progress they’d made, feel the strength coming back to him and knew the pain was ebbing, also. Still, he despised the wheelchair more every day even knowing soon he wouldn’t have to use it anymore.
He’d been whining.
He shouldn’t have been startled by her boldness when she’d tried to put him in his place for it.
Whining. The thought hit him and it wasn’t pleasant.MoreLess
