Despite resting all day, Cadence still felt quite tired when it was time to go to sleep that night. James made sure she had plenty of pillows to prop herself into the best position. He also brought her more medicine, water, and tea. He even personally applied a fresh coat of Vicks vapor rub to her chest. It might have been quite sensual, what with all the rubbing, warmth, and exposed décolletage. Yes, very sensual if it weren't for the fact of her continuously dripping nose and hoarse coughing fits. Besides her own mother, Cadence couldn't remember anyone taking such good care of her before. James's bedside manner had been distinctly impressive actually. He had even bought her the fancy tissues with lotion in them so that she wouldn't irritate the delicate skin of her nose. With his strong hand softly grasping hers, she fell asleep almost as soon as she closed her eyes.
