“Yes.” Jake was his only chance for an alpha and the man hadn’t done anything to disqualify himself from consideration. David wasn’t going to hold his breath all the same.

Someone knocked on the door and called through it, “It’s Mindy, your RN.”

David tried to tell her to come in but couldn’t speak loud enough, so Uncle Ed did it for him.

“Another pudding,” he decided.

“Coming right up.”

Jake was wheeled in by a beta couple, presumably his parents. “Mom, I’m fine. You heard, it’s just a couple weeks on crutches.”

“But…”

“I know you’ve been worried, but I’m okay. My knee isn’t the bigger issue here and I really need to think.”

“Alright,” said Jake’s dad. “Call us tomorrow, okay?”
