"I hope so. Thank-you for helping her." Liam gave the Doctor a grateful smile before looking at Kasey worriedly.

"It's always a pleasure helping the Taylors," Madeline said with a smile, her gaze flicking to Harper. He didn't notice, only stared worriedly at his sister.
“How long will it be until she is fully recovered?” Liam asked, flicking his gaze to Madeline.
group
Madeline blinked and looked back at Liam.
"With rest, I'd say one to two weeks," she declared. "Most likely two, but she might recover faster than that."
Liam nodded, "Okay, that's not that long… even though it's going to feel like it."
group
"She should stay off her feet for a while, so you two will have to make sure she's not walking or standing," Madeline said, glancing between the two guys.
Liam nodded and crossed his arms over his chest, "Okay, the sounds easy enough… even though knowing Kasey she'll hate it."
group
"Speaking of Kasey…" Madeline glanced at the bed where the girl lay.
Kasey stirred in her bed, blinking her eyes open. She pushed herself up and looked around the room groggily.
"Hey, Kasey… how are you feeling?" Liam asked gently, walking towards her with a soft but still slightly worried smile on his face.
group
"Hey… I'm tired," Kasey replied, yawning as she rubbed a hand over her face. "But my head feels a lot better, so that's nice."
As the couple talked, the older adults stepped out of the room, conversing softly. They were probably talking about Kasey, but she didn't know for sure.
Liam gently took Kasey's hand in his, "Yeah, luckily the poison hadn't traveled that far and Madeline was able to take the bullet out."
group
Kasey nodded slowly, intertwining their fingers.
"Good. That's good. I'm glad I'm not going to die from a poisoned bullet," she joked, trying to lighten the mood.
Liam smiled but he was still worried, "I'm glad you're not going to die either."
group
"Did she happen to say when I can use my leg again?" Kasey asked. "I'm guessing at least a few days."
"Yeah, a few days. You can't walk on it so Harper and I will have to carry you around for a while." Liam shrugged a shoulder.
group
Kasey blinked a few times before nodding slowly. "All right, then… Maybe I should call my job soon and let them know I'm quitting… And I'll need someone to get my notes from my classes. And I guess Harper will have to fill in for me as the city's super for a while."
Liam nodded, “I can call in to you’re work for you if you want? Save you from doing it since you need lots of rest and not stress.”
group
"It should be fine if I call in. I think it should come from me, anyway," Kasey said softly. "But thanks, though."
Liam nodded, “Okay. Do you want to call in now or in a little bit? You can just use mine if you want to call now.”
group
Kasey sighed and closed her eyes.
"I honestly don't want to call in at all… I actually don't mind working there, but… I just can't…"
Liam sighed, “I know, it’s hard to choose what but… do what you think is right.”
group
"I know I have to call in. Could you sit with me while I do it?" Kasey asked quietly.
Liam nodded and took out his phone and sat next to her, handing her his phone, “Of course I’ll sit with you.”
group
"Thanks," Kasey murmured, taking his hand in hers again as she dialed the number of her work.
Liam sighed and took her hand in his, kissing the back of it gently.
group
Kasey blushed a bit when Liam kissed her hand, waiting for someone to pick up the phone.
"Hello?" came a feminine voice from the other end.
"Sabrina? Hey, it's Kasey."
"Kasey, hey! How are you?"
"I'm okay… Hey, so I've got done sad news."
"What is it?"
"…I'm quitting. As of now…"
"You're joking, right?"
"No. I just have too much on my plate, and this was the only thing I could change."
"Well, we're sorry to see you leave. You have a spot here if you ever want it."
"Thanks, Sabrina. I'll talk to you later."
"Any time. Come in soon. Bye."
"Bye," Kasey sighed as she hung up. She turned to Liam, chewing on her lip.
"Everything went okay?" Liam asked, raising an eyebrow and squeezing her hand a little.
group
"Yeah, it went fine… They're sad I'm leaving, but I think they understand," Kasey whispered, looking down. She laid her head in Liam's shoulder with a sigh.
Liam wrapped an arm around Kasey and placed a kiss to her head, "Okay, that's good to hear."
group
"Yeah. Hey, did Madi mention when I can go home?" Kasey asked, lifting her head to look at Liam.
