“As are we,” Caitlin knew what it took to get him to stay here. An airtight security system and a few touch and go moments. She’d gotten used to not sleeping by this point. Her hands tightened around his pudgy middle, knowing he was trying to assert his male bravado. She didn’t care how manly he thought he was, it was obvious that he wasn’t okay. “I’m going to call Jay.”
Cisco quickly stood as straight as he could, blinking the haziness from his eyes. “No, I’m fine. I don’t need this Jay guy to carry me 10 feet. We’re almost there.” He sighed and shook his foot out, still playing it off that his foot was regaining feeling. “It’s nearly there, I swear. It’s at that painful tingle point where it’s almost has full feeling. I can walk.” He smiled.
