David frowned. "I'm sure if Dr. Gordon called, they wouldn't fire you if you took a couple days off."
Trixie nodded. "See, there ya go. You're stayin' home, and I'm stayin with ya." She gave Eli a pointed look. "And that's final."

"No! The doctor calling won't do anything, they'll hire someone else to take my place!" Eli snapped, glaring at all of them. "you can't make me stay."

Trixie set her jaw, keeping her voice as calm as possible. "Erin, David? D'ya guys mind givin' me and Eli a minute?"
David blinked, but nodded. "Uh, yeah. Come on, Erin, let's go eat." He ushered Zippy out of the room, closing the door behind them.

Eli looked at her. "you can't tell me what to do, Trixie. It's nice you care and all but I need this job."

Her eyes welled up again and she bit her lip. "Eli, you got hurt real bad. Ya bled all over my dress and ya wouldn't wake up. You need to take it easy a couple days, to make sure you're okay." She brushed her hand softly over his forehead. "Please, Eli. You'd be no good to them anyway."

He sighed. "I'm sorry, Kitten. But I can't. There are men that wait outside the office everyday to see if there are openings. I WILL lose my spot."

"Just one day, Eli, just take tomorrow off, and then I won't bug ya about it anymore." She sniffled, wiping her eyes. "You got blood all over my new dress."

She clutched his hand. "Eli, I'm makin' good money at the Hall. We'll be okay. It's more important you get better. I--maybe I can go talk to your boss..."

"This is no longer a discussion. I'm going to work tomorrow, and that's final." He said it sternly, no longer having the patience for her. He finished off the rest of his soup and and put the bowl on his nightstand.

She looked at him in shock, like he'd just hit her. "You--you can't talk to me like I'm a little kid, Eli! You--you can't keep treatin' me whichever ways mor econvenient for you at the time! I'm sick of it! You want me when you want me, but when you don't you treat me like I don't even matter!"

Eli glared at her. "when it comes to my work and my job, I get the final say. I know you are worried about me, but I'm not going to have you telling me what to do when you don't even know what you are talking about!" Eli's head was really hurting and he was sick of fighting with her about this.
