Chapter 13: A Cunning Plan

Mary sat up in her bed at Anubis’s place, sipping some tea and reading through an old book that the medical professional happened to bring in. It had been a bit of a long time since she had cracked open a copy of Dracula, but with all the time she was mandated to take to recover, she figured there was no time like the present.

A soft knock at the door pulled her attention away and she bookmarked her page.

"It's open!" She called.

"There's my star patient!"

Anubis strolled in, flanked by Rocco and Mickey. The two carried vases of red roses and set them on the bedside tables. Rocco planted a firm kiss on her cheek, while Mickey graced her with one on her forehead. The Irishman sat on the bed with her, stroking her hair as she continued to sip her tea.

“How you feeling, bambina?” Rocco asked as he and Anubis pulled up chairs.

“Still tender, but I’m feeling great.” Mary shrugged. “Didn’t expect to be able to sit up this quick, let alone stay coherent.”
