Cal stood in the doorway, arms crossed.
Regan hovered at the bed.
Skye fussed with the blanket.
Nate appeared behind Cal holding the IV bag like a war trophy. โI have successfully not killed the patient.โ
Cal looked at him.
Nate lowered his voice. โYet.โ
โOut,โ Cal said.
Nate pointed at himself. โMe?โ
โAnyone who doesnโt need to be in this room.โ
Nate stepped back. โHarsh but fair.โ
Dylan did not move.
Calโs gaze shifted to him.
The room got quiet.
I looked at Dylan.
His eyes met mine.
For a second, everything from the trail moved between us again.
Beautiful.
Seventeen.
Forbidden.
Free.
Safe.
A whole impossible mess of words neither of us could say.
Then he looked away.
โIโll be outside,โ he said.
My chest tightened.
I wanted to ask him to stay.
I did not.
Growth.
Or exhaustion.
Hard to tell.
