All Her Broken Pieces (Broken #1)

CHAPTER 16

Ethan

My feet slap the sidewalk as my thighs propel me forward. I’m usually very active, hitting the gym at least every other day, but I’ve put that on hold for the past five days to take care of Bridget. Although I’ve been able to sneak out for a run every morning before she wakes up. From what I can tell, she’s normally an early riser, but she hasn’t been since I’ve been staying with her. Most nights, I can hear her from my bed on the couch. She groans every time she rolls over or gets up, and from what it sounds like, she’s up every couple of hours. Taking her pain meds would probably help her get more rest, but I understand her desire to avoid them.

Part of me worries she’s too hard on herself. I know she wants to be self-sufficient as quickly as possible, but if she pushes too hard too soon, she’ll regret it later.
