I woke in the hospital room to find Danni’s concerned face hovering above mine.
Still groggy from the anesthetic I mumbled, “Hello beautiful.”
She smiled and kissed me tenderly. “We really need to find you a new line of work.” She joked.
“What, and miss all the fun?” I asked.
“How are you feeling son?” My father asked, stepping over to my bed.
“Like a million bucks. Of course, that’s probably just the medication talking.”
He laughed, “Well, they removed the bullet. It was just a flesh wound so there won’t be any permanent damage. It’ll leave a nasty scar though.”
I gave a weak grin, “Just one more to add to the list.”
“Well, I think scars are sexy.” Chimed in Danni.
My father shook his head. “Whoa! Too much information.”
Mark entered the room. “Sounds like a party in here.”
