On arrival at the private hospital, the very exclusive NYC Salus—the best facility money can buy—it takes me moments to find her. She’s in the sitting room, outside the private room where Piper’s clearly sequestered.

From somewhere within, I breathe a sigh of relief I didn’t know I had that Piper isn’t in the ICU again.

So this is good, right? Has to be.

I didn’t wait to speak to the doctors—Grainger’s doing that now, and fuck whatever oaths they have. I’m paying them a fuckton to do this, and…

Harper looks up at me, dark smudges beneath her eyes. She’s still dressed in the outfit I basically tore off her that morning. But the rest of her is neat and tidy, her hair pulled back in that band I hate.

Without a word, I take the seat next to her and reach over, linking my fingers with hers, drawing our hands to my lap.

She lets out a small sigh and leans into my shoulder, and I look down as her eyes flutter shut. It’s like a tension’s gone from her. With a shock, I realize that the fear flitting in me on the way here is gone. I’m worried for her sister, yes, but that vague fear that this was about Harper is gone.

She feels good next to me, against me.

And even as frustration rises in me—a frustration that I can’t do a fucking thing about this situation—I’m glad I’m here. With her.

Where I should be. Her hand feels right in mine. I close my eyes and rest my head against hers for a while, just content to be here because what the fuck else am I going to do? Where else would I be?

It’s later—I don’t know how much time has passed, but she stirs, and looks up at me.

“Thank you,” she says.

“For what?”

She shrugs. “For being here.”

“Where else would I be?”

Harper opens her mouth, then closes it and nods. “Well, thank you, anyway.” And I squeeze her hand.

Through the disinfectant-laden air, her scent is there. Familiar and soothing, like home and sex and lazy afternoons. I could breathe her in all day, or what’s left of the night.

Grainger appears at the door, still standing in the bright hall where staff buzz by even at this hour, his gaze moving over us. Something in my stomach flutters at what it must look like. At what it is.

A couple. Me and her.

I kiss the top of her head. “You need anything?”

“No. I…maybe a water.”

“Have you eaten?”

She glances away, and that’s all the explanation I need.

“I’ll be back. I’m going to talk to Grainger, see what he knows.”

“About Piper?”

“Yeah.”

Harper sighs, and looks down at her hand as I release her. “I’ve been here since early evening. But they just said she’s in for observation, that something showed up on her tests, and…I don’t know. They’re not really talking to me.”

She’s scared, her fear vibrating from her. A muscle ticks in my jaw, but I force myself to remain calm. “We’ll find out. Grainger’s as good as I am at getting information.
