CHAPTER SEVENTY-ONE

She opened her eyes slowly.The ceiling above her wasn’t familiar. Neither were the walls but one thing she could recognize without question was the pair of eyes staring at her.Tim stood there, arms folded, worry masked under frustration. His eyes were soft.“Do you have a death sentence?” he asked, voice measured. “If something had happened to you, how do I explain that I’m innocent? You collapse outside my door in the middle of the night, no note, no warning…”He paused, his eyes scanning her face. “How can someone just leave their house and do something so reckless?”She tried to sit up, struggling slightly with her weight, and he stepped in quickly, lifting her up with care until she was upright against the pillow.“I’m sorry,” she whispered, her voice shaky. “I didn’t mean to scare you.
