Lyman gave Clay's shoulder a reassuring pat. "You're going to be fine," he said firmly. "I'll find the best doctor out there to help you."

Clay looked at him gratefully. "Thanks, man. Really."

She shot back, "You're in no shape to boss me around, Clay. Not that you ever could."

He opened his mouth, but she cut him off.
