LINE BREAK
THE ROMAN LEE SERIES # 5
She leaned over him barely touching his eyelids with
her lips. His bandaged head was
considerably swollen and looked sore.
“Can you hear me John?
They said you did better than expected.
It took them just under four hours.”
“Thirsty.”
“Can someone get my husband something to drink
please?”
She held the straw to his lips as he drew some of the
ice water into his mouth before swallowing it.
“Better?”
He attempted to nod slightly but suddenly stopped
wincing in pain.
“Easy honey, there’s no rush here, get some rest.”
“She’s right John.
Take your time. Your health is
first priority.”
Sebastian was leaning against the doorframe to the
room. He had changed out of his surgery
scrubs into a Brioni pin dot striped suit.
Everything about him flawless, as always.
“Can we get a quick pic? The world can hardly wait to see the newest
power couple.”
Trina crouched down next to the bed as John managed to
crack a smile. The photo hit her
Instagram and Facebook accounts almost immediately. She looked at her phone for a second stopping
the feed on their picture. Trina Bentley
could scarcely believe her eyes when she saw it. John Bentley had liked the picture and had
commented on it as well. Looking at
Sebastian now standing working on his phone smiling she glanced back at
John. His eyes now closed with a pleased
look on his face.
“Did he just? I
mean, did he really?”
“Yes.”
“But how did he? His phone is…it’s in his bag.”
“He used the hospital’s Wi-Fi syncing his own device
with the implant. He is no longer bound
by the traditional two thumb method to express himself from a cell phone.”
“I guess I really didn’t know what to expect.”
“That was a little test. Are you impressed?”
“Freaked out is more like it.”
“This is the dawn of a new technological frontier, Trina. John is its first pioneer.”
Sebastian’s phone was now becoming inundated with
alerts and notifications from around the world.
