that.” He gently cradled her, picked her up, and carried her around to the other side of the bed.
    “Did you hurt the ankle?”
    “Thankfully, no more than it already was. But I couldn’t get up. I fell at such a bad angle.”
    “Don’t worry. You’re fine now.” .He walked around the bed again and picked up the comforter to take to her.
    “Thanks again, Andrew,” she whispered nervously. “Gosh, I feel like a disaster zone right now. I swear I’ve never been this accident-prone in my life.”
    “I believe you.” Andrew smiled. “Look, just hold on, okay? I’ll be back.”
    He hurried out of her room and went to his own, grabbing a clean robe off a hanger inside his walk-in closet. She was in the same spot when he returned.
    “I think you should wear this instead of pants.”
    As he offered the robe, he noticed her raise an eyebrow at his suggestion.
    “Only because it’s not too long to make you trip again,” he hurriedly explained.
    She kept looking at him with her eyebrows slightly raised. Surely she didn’t think he was trying to take advantage of her.
    “Wait, you…you think…you don’t think that I’m…”
    “I understand and it’s fine. I get it, Andrew. I’m a nurse, remember? I know why we have all hospital patients wear gowns. And I agree with you. The robe’s a smarter bet and less of a trip hazard.”
    Andrew let out a sigh of relief as she took the robe from his outstretched hand. “Okay, good. Glad you agree.”
    “Can you help me stand up so I can get changed?” she asked, stretching one arm out toward him.
    “Sure.” He practically jumped to her side and lifted her off the bed.
    “And you can turn away now,” she instructed him as she was on her feet.
    He smiled as he turned away from her.
    “I’d ask you to leave but I’ll probably need you if I can’t get the pants off,” she said with a chuckle.
    “Not a problem,” he answered, excited to help.
    He kept his eyes trained on the bedroom door, but his mind imagined what she was doing and what she looked like. He tried not to recall the glimpse he had gotten of Abby in just her bra and panties in the living room. It was no use, though.
    “You can turn around now,” she called to him. “I’m actually fine. The pants fell right off me, so no need for you to rescue me again.”
    “Glad you’re all right,” he smiled and turned to face her.
    Andrew knew he needed to leave the room as soon as humanly possible. He was being swept up into a whirlwind of sensations from sheer proximity to Abby. And seeing her in his robe, standing looking helpless, sent his mind to places it should not visit this soon.
    “Well, I’d best let you settle back in,” he said, turning to leave. “Have a great…”
    “Aren’t you forgetting something?” she called to him.
    “I’m not sure…um… What do you mean?” he asked.
    “The sash for the robe,” she explained. “It’s over your shoulder. And as you’re here anyway, can you walk me back on the other side of the bed? I kind of have a preference for the right side.”
    “Oh!” he exclaimed, laughing nervously as he pulled the band from his shoulder and handed it over. “Here you go.”
    Without thinking, he swept her up into his arms again. He walked around to the side of the bed. Before could set her down, he became unavoidably aware of her arms wrapped around his neck. He could feel her breath catch and release on his cheek, and her slight body pressed against his chest—and wearing his robe—was magnetizing. He looked down at her face, and she was staring up at him, eyes filled with what he could only call longing.
    Andrew couldn’t resist whatever it was that bubbled to the surface around Abby. Not anymore. He set her down gently in front of him, ensuring her uninjured leg landed first. When he felt her arms rest on his chest, he went with it. Andrew cupped her chin in his palm. He lifted her face and searched her eyes for any sign of the passion he felt
