章 301: CHAPTER 301 Under Maya's Watchful Eye

　　~ JESSE ~

　　Cazz wasn't supposed to be up and moving, but within an hour, he'd already linked with Maya, insisting that she come examine me, and when she was close, he got out of the bed- more slowly than he usually would- and made me lay down so she could reach me easily.

　　"Cazz, you're supposed to be resting!"

　　"So are you!" he said pointedly.

　　"Yes, but I wasn't shot."

　　"And healed," he added.

　　"You almost died."

　　That stopped him. He was on his way to the door to let Maya in, because he was insisting that no one else come near us yet, and he stopped midstep, his face falling to a somber mask.

　　When he turned to look at me, I was sitting up in the bed- I was very tired, so it wasn't hard to obey his instruction to stay there- and he scanned me silently, his brows pinching over his nose. His throat bobbed once, then he strode back to me.
