---- standing at the door. "Wow, Summer," he sneered, "you really are good at putting on a show. You sounded so weak on the phone, but look at you-walking around like nothing happened. Just gave birth and already running around? Guess you don't need rest. "Didn't you love playing nanny to me? Perfect. Lindsay's moving in today. Once you're discharged, you can go home and take care of her." I froze. He grinned, eyes cruel. "You know, having someone outside the room while we're in bed makes things even more exciting."
