Adrian's POV

Adrian watched Kira from across the lounge, her knees pulled up to her chest in the corner of the couch, his jacket still draped over her shoulders from hours ago.

"You should eat something." Adrian sat a chair across from her, close enough to see how pale she'd gone. "You haven't touched anything since we got here."

"I'm not hungry."

"Not eating won't make Lily heal any faster, Kira."

She turned her head slowly and gave him a look sharp enough to cut glass. "Did I ask for a lectu

    Adrian's POVAdrian watched Kira from across the lounge, her knees pulled up to her chest in the corner of the couch, his jacket still draped over her shoulders from hours ago. "You should eat something." Adrian sat a chair across from her, close enough to see how pale she'd gone. "You haven't touched anything since we got here.""I'm not hungry.""Not eating won't make Lily heal any faster, Kira."She turned her head slowly and gave him a look sharp enough to cut glass. "Did I ask for a lecture?""No.""Then keep it to yourself."He held her stare a moment longer, then stood without another word and walked out toward the vending area down the hall. When he came back he was carrying a paper cup, steam curling off the top, and he set it down in front of her without comment.She eyed it. "What's this?""Coffee. Black, no sugar. The way you like it." He set the cup on the table in front of her, careful not to let it spill."I didn't ask for coffee.""I know."She stared at the cup a lon

    Kira's POVThe doctor stopped outside a door marked with Lily's name on a small whiteboard, his hand resting on the handle without turning it yet."Before you go in, I need to tell you what we're dealing with.""Just say it." Adrian's grip tightened at Kira's back. "Whatever it is.""Your daughter suffered a skull fracture and significant internal bleeding. We had to operate to relieve pressure on her brain. The surgery went well, but she's in an induced coma to let the swelling go down."Kira's legs buckled and this time Adrian caught her fully, one arm wrapping around her waist, holding her upright against him."A coma." Her voice came out as barely a breath. "For how long?""That depends on how she responds. Could be days, could be longer. We won't know until we start bringing her out of it.""And if she doesn't respond?""Let's not go there yet." The doctor's tone gentled. "Right now, she's stable, and stable is good news.""Can we see her?""Two minutes. She needs quiet."The doc

    Kira's POV “I need a fucking answer right now.” Adrian's voice echoed through the hallway. "Sir, if you can just take a seat, someone will be out to update you shortly." "I've been sitting for two hours." Adrian's voice had dropped low, the kind of low that made people around him go still. "My daughter came in unresponsive and nobody has told us a single thing since." "I understand your frustration, but I don't have access to her chart, I'm front desk staff, I can only…." "Then get me someone who does have a freaking access, oh my goodness ." Kira sat frozen in the chair, her hands pressed together so tightly her fingers had gone numb. Every time the doors down the hall opened she looked up, and every time it wasn't for them, something in her chest cracked a little further. "Adrian." "What." "Sit down. Please." "I'm not sitting down, Kira. Our daughter is somewhere behind that door and nobody will tell us if she's breathing on her own." He turned back to the recept

    Kira's POV "How did you even get here before me." Kira sat down hard in the plastic chair, her legs finally giving out beneath her. "You live in the city." "They called me too." Adrian sat beside her, elbows on his knees, hands clasped so tight his knuckles had gone pale. "Same way as they called you. I was in a meeting, my assistant ran in with the message, I didn't even grab my jacket." "You drove." "I broke every speed limit between here and Manhattan." He glanced sideways at her. "You flew." "I panicked. I didn't know what else to do." "You didn't have to explain that to me." A nurse walked past and Kira half rose out of her seat before realizing the woman wasn't stopping for them. She sank back down, her hands twisting in her lap. "Why is she even here," Kira said. "Weslake is nowhere near her campus." "It's the closest trauma center to the interstate. If something happened on the road..." "On the road doing what?" "I don't know, Kira. Nobody's told us anythi

    Kira's POV "Which hospital." Her voice didn't sound like her own. "Ma'am, I need you to stay calm. Your daughter is stable, she's being transported to Weslake Regional." "Where is that." "About an hour and twenty minutes from Brooklyn, ma'am." The phone nearly slipped out of her hand. "An hour and twenty minutes." "Kira?" Alyssa was already at her side, one hand on her arm. "What's wrong?" "Lily." The name came out cracked. "There's been an accident." "Oh my God." "I need my coat. I need my bag. I need..." Kira pressed her palm flat against her own chest like she could hold herself together with pressure alone. "I need a car." "I'll call Desmond right now." "Tell him to pull around front, don't wait for valet." Alyssa was already moving, phone to her ear, and Kira followed her out through the kitchen doors, past the chef who called after her, past the sous chef who half rose from checking a ticket, none of it registering, none of it mattering. The car was wait

    Kira's POV 6 months later "Table nine needs their check and table twelve is asking for you by name again." Alyssa's voice cut through the noise of the kitchen pass, a printout already in her hand. "By name or by face?" "Name. She said Chef Ashford like she's known you her whole life." Kira wiped her palms on her apron and took the printout without looking at it. "Fine. Give me two minutes." She never got two minutes. Not on a Friday like this one, every table full since five, a line still curling out the door when she'd last checked, Marco, one of the chefs on the line shouting for more scallops and Denise on garde manger falling behind on plating because they were down two servers who'd both called in sick within an hour of each other. "Chef, we need hands on the floor." Denise didn't even look up from the plate she was finishing. "Rob can't keep up alone out there." "I'll go." "You're supposed to be running the pass ma’am ." "Marco can run the pass for ten minutes
