case they try to throw any last-minute curve balls.”
He yawned. “Okay. I’m fine with Henry for tomorrow as long as you’re my attorney of record for everything else,” Wynn told her sleepily, drifting off.
CHAPTER 17
Once Scarlett fed Kyle and Cadence breakfast and helped them dress, Wynn dropped the children at school and returned to the Corrigan house. The past month had been one the happiest he’d experienced as he’d become deeply enmeshed in the Corrigans’ lives. He hadn’t felt as full of energy or carefree since when he’d first discovered acting back in college.
Or so giddy. That wild, free, exciting feeling of falling in love. Spending a good portion of every day with the woman who’d come to mean everything to him.
Scarlett had done exactly as she said and cashed in on her plethora of vacation days from Lymon McGraw. She’d tag teamed with Wynn the first two weeks, helping Rhett and Cassie in multiple ways while he finished his hospital stay. The couple decided taking Rhett to rehab twice a day, as the physical therapist at the hospital suggested, would only be a distraction to other patients’ recoveries. Instead, they’d hired a professional to come to their home. Rhett had a full gym at his disposal and privacy in which to rehab his injured knee. He said he could concentrate better and work harder without having to worry about cell phones recording his every move or facing the paparazzi coming and going multiple times a day. He also saw a trauma therapist who came to the house twice a week. Though he found it hard to talk about the incident, he indicated he was making progress.
Once Rhett settled into a routine, Cassie did, as well. She’d attacked the Carbon Man screenplay with enthusiasm and had already knocked out the first draft, placing it in Breck’s hands. Now, she tinkered with the untitled Mark Brockwell project until Breck made his additions and deletions to the Carbon Man script and returned it for her final approval.
That meant Scarlett had begun working again, as she remained in the guest bedroom she’d taken over. She didn’t return to the office but handled things from Rhett’s house, with her main focus getting the Monroes’ company up and running. She tried to accomplish what she needed to do during the hours Kyle and Cadence were in school and then she and Wynn spent time with the kids. Since Dash and Sydney’s children were often present, Wynn had gotten to know Drew and Harper, as well. Being around the four bright, inquisitive children only cemented the fact that he would enjoy fatherhood.
With his future settled, thanks to Henry Lymon accompanying Wynn to the Rylon Pictures meeting and efficiently handling the signing of the contracts that Scarlett had written and approved of, Wynn began to hang around Dash DeLauria quite a bit, gleaning every tidbit he could about RCDS and how the production company was run. Wynn had many ideas spinning in his head and was glad he wasn’t working at the moment as he built computer files with all of the thoughts he had.
It was the reason he wanted to speak with Rhett this morning.
Wynn entered the house and went straight to the home gym. He could see that the morning physical therapy session was wrapping up. Rhett had been a good sport and allowed the kids to come and help him work out when they were home. Seeing the famous actor’s patience with his young children, despite the agony the PT sessions brought on as he worked to bring his knee back the level it had once been at, made Wynn admire Rhett even more.
The therapist said, “We’ll go again at three, Rhett. Do fifteen minutes on the stationary bike and then hit the sauna.”
Wynn waved at the therapist and ambled over as Rhett climbed onto the bike. “Do you have time to talk?”
“Let me get my bike time in first,” Rhett said. “I’m still building my stamina. Riding and talking is a little hard for me when I need to concentrate.”
“You got it.”
Wynn decided to spend the time productively and lifted weights while Rhett finished up. He liked having access to a home gym and had given serious thought to putting in one at his Malibu place.
When Rhett finished, he invited Wynn to the sauna. Both men stripped off their clothes and wrapped towels around their torsos before seating themselves. The heat soaked into Wynn as he leaned against the wall.
