Two Weeks to Look Forward to
(eBook)

Greyson Carteret has been sick for as long as he can remember. His life has been one surgery and invasive procedure after another, and nothing has helped. In fact, he seems to be getting worse, and he feels too miserable to care one way or the other. His father had apparently been unable to cope with his chronic illnesses and took off with another woman. As a result, his mother is the only one available to see to his care. Now, though, due to a family emergency, she has to go out of town. She doesn't feel Grey can be left on his own, so when his doctor refers a home healthcare agency to her, she hires Dylan Morse to look after Grey. To his surprise, Grey is fascinated by the man. Dylan, who is taking a break from nursing by working as a home health aide, finds he likes Grey, and is saddened to learn the young man only has months to live. A friendship quickly develops between the two, and Grey regrets it isn't likely to grow into anything more. However, Dylan is curious about Grey's symptoms and by Mrs. Carteret's insistence that her son only eats the food she's prepared for him. Will Dylan discover the truth behind Grey's numerous illnesses? Can their friendship become anything more if he can help Grey live to see his twenty-third birthday? NOTE: This story deals with issues of mental illness that some readers might find disturbing.
