LEAH POVI jerk back so violently that I nearly knock down the IV stand behind me.My hips bump into the metal pole, sending it wobbling.Heat floods my face as my lips tingle from Damien’s kiss and my heart was hammering so hard I was so sure the nurse who walked in could hear it.She looks to be in her mid forties with tired eyes,she doesn't even look at me just walks around to the other side of the bed, she must be used to walking into her patients ' rooms kissing every day.She sets down a small tray of medication, adjusts one of the monitors, and begins preparing a syringe with a detached look of someone who has seen far worse things in these walls than two people who couldn't keep their hands off each other.“You’re healing well, Mr. Cross,” the nurse said flatly, not glancing up from her work. “But you need to be careful with those stitches. Any unnecessary movement and we’re right back to square one.” Damien says nothing to her his eyes stay locked on me.I look away biting t

LEAH POVI step into the room, and the door clicks shut behind me with a soft sound.I turn to find Damien awake, his dark eyes find mine the second I step in and for a minute I couldn't breathe.For a moment the only sound in the room is the rhythmic beep of the heart monitor.He looks exhausted and in so much pain, his skin is pale under the dim overhead light and there is a softness in his face that I have never seen before in all the years I have known him.This is not the Damien Cross who owns half of Miami, making people disappear with a single phone call.This is someone who brushed death and survived, someone whom I almost lost.I stand there frozen in the doorway, the two cups of coffee burning my hands. I had gone out earlier to get something that could wake Emily and me up.I had planned to go take a bath and have Sophie bring me a change of clothes… I couldn't bear to leave his side.My heart hammers so loudly I'm sure he can hear it over the beeping machines."Leah," he

DAMIEN POVI wake up to throbbing pain everywhere, my head feels like it's been split open, my chest burns with every breath and even my bones ache…I don't know where I am but I know it hurts.I force my eyes open. The room is dim, almost completely dark, except for a faint strip of light from somewhere under the door.I notice two figures beside me, one on each side of where I lie.I blink trying to focus, I see Emily curled up in the chair to my left, a thin hospital blanket wrapped tightly around her small frame. She looks exhausted.I turn my head as slowly as possible because even small movements send a fresh wave of pain through my skull.Leah?She's leaning forward, her head resting on the mattress near my arm. One of her hands holds mine loosely.What the hell is she doing here? I thought she never wanted to see me?This… this can’t be real.Maybe I'm dreaming or maybe I died and this is some cruel, beautiful version of the afterlife, letting me see the two women I care most a

LEAH'S POVWe both turn to the doctor standing in the doorway. Emily pulls away from me heading towards the doctor, she wipes her face with her sleeve,her hands are shaking."I'm Emily. That's my dad. Is he...is he okay?"The doctor walks towards her and takes her hand“Your father has a concussion, some broken ribs, and a laceration on his forehead that requires stitches…but it could have been much worse for now though he's stable.”Emily’s leg gives out and I catch her wrapping my hands around her waist and we both let out breaths we didn't know we were holding."Can I see him?" she asks."He's resting. We're keeping him for observation tonight. You can see him for a few minutes, but he needs to rest."She pulls away from me and heads towards his room while I stand in the waiting room.She stops and turns to me “Why are you standing there Leah…Come with me."I freeze. "Em... are you sure…""Please." Her voice cracks. "I can't go in there alone."I look at her, the girl who had alw

LEAH POVMy phone buzzes on the counter, the caller ID shows Emily. Finally, she's calling.I swipe to answer."Hey, Em. I was thinking about you. I had my first day at the boutique and—""Leah."Something in her voice stops me"Em? What's wrong?""It's my dad." Her voice cracks. "There was an accident. He crashed his car."The glass I am holding slips from my hand, hits the floor, and cracks, water spreads across the wood."What? Is he okay? What happened?" I ask."I don't know. I got a call from the hospital asking me to come in. They said he hit a tree….”I hear her voice crack and she begins breathing too fast she was about to have a panic attack. “He was driving and hit a tree. They said he was…" "Emily, listen to me slow down. Breathe." I press the phone tighter to my ear. "Where is he?""Jackson Memorial Hospital. I'm in a cab now but I don't…I don't know what to do. I called Marcus,He says he's on his way but I can't be alone, Leah. Please." She cries."I'm coming. Stay on t

LEAH POV The morning is slow and I thought it would remain that way but fate had other plans for me.I walk the racks, straightening hangers and memorizing where things go. I learn the difference between a size 4 and a size 6, between a petite and a regular.Sofia is at the register, checking something on her phone that seems to be the only thing she does, Mariana is steaming a rack of dresses near the fitting room.I'm folding a stack of sweaters when the door chimes and a woman walks in. She looks to be in her forties, her hair pulled back tight with high sunglasses shoved up on her head.She's holding a garment bag like she's carrying something dead.Sofia moves to welcome her “Good morning ma'am. How can I help …”She cuts her off “Don't just get me someone who can actually do their job.”Sofia's smile falters and she takes a step back Mariana walks towards her but the woman's eyes land on me.“You” she points at me “come here.”I look around pointing to myself to make sure I h
