"I'm fine." Ty said stubbornly, but the fact that he couldn't put up much of a fight when AshleIy steered him back to the bed made his argument moot. "I'm fine Dee, you always worry too much."

It probably didn't help that he wasn't really looking at Ashley, seeing someone else. For better or for worse, Ashley had quickly grown to be one of his closest friends here, and it just echoed the best friend he'd left behind. Delilah had gotten out of New York, he knew it, but he hadn't been able to make sure that she had found somewhere safe to stay, his warning or no. It didn't help that she wouldn't treat Ty with a delicate bedside manner either.

"I can't just lay here when other people need help. You of all people should understand that."
