Niles stole a glance at Debbie as he adjusted Ivan’s IV. Then he asked in a whisper, “But you Like Carlos. Or am I missing something? Why did you marry Ivan?”
He had been curious about this for a long time. He hadn’t lost any sleep over it, but it was a mystery. Debbie used to say she loved
Carlos, so why marry Ivan?
Debbie smiled and tucked Ivan’s hand under the covers.
“Just because I love him doesn’t mean I have to marry him, right? We can’t control everything. And while we think lovers are supposed to be together, sometimes, they can’t be.”
Niles disagreed.
“I call bullshit. Why can’t they be together? Who else should they be with? The people they hate?”
“There are lots of people with happy endings. You’ll find the one someday, I’m sure. But notand Carlos.”
Niles sat down on a corner of the bed.
“So you aren’t afraid Carlos might be jealous? You take care of Ivan day and night.” He was sure
Carlos was jealous. Actually, Carlos told him that Debbie was here in this hospital. Although Carlos hadn’t said it in so many words, Niles understood that he told him this because he wanted him to check on her.

Debbie looked at him and smiled.
“Jealous? He has Stephanie. No need to be jealous over me.”
“Wait a minute. I thought you guys were an item? What happened? Is it just because he lost his memory?”
“Of course not.”
Niles wasn’t surprised at her reply.
“So what’s going on? I might be able to help,” he said excitedly, moving closer to her.
“What’s going on?” a mellow voice mocked.
“Looks like a doctor who’s too busy playing matchmaker to attend to his patients.”
