If it weren’t for the fact that I work another shift tomorrow, I’d drop by a bar before coming home tonight. It’s been a while since I’ve wanted to drink away my problems, but tonight calls for it.

We’d lost a patient today, and that’s always hard to accept. Add in my inability to persuade Harper into giving me a second chance, and my mood’s pretty bleak. Quinn had also let it slip this morning that Harper had an appointment this evening to check out an apartment and possible roommate.

In a matter of days, she’ll be gone, and I’ll have no excuse to see her. It’s a bitter pill to swallow considering I’m the one who put myself in this position. The only thing that sits well with me is knowing that I did everything I could. I’d told her how I felt, I’d asked for a second chance, and I’d even made a physical play for her. I’d tried every angle, and I still got shot down. Rejection is never easy, but at least I can’t look back and wish I’d done more. It still doesn’t make letting her go any easier, but I won’t have any regrets about not trying hard enough.

When I pull into the driveway, I take note of Harper’s car, and I sigh. Soon, that car will no longer be parked here. I could really use a beer. It’s not as good as the hard stuff, but it’s better than nothing.

As soon as I enter the house, I blink with surprise as I close the door behind me. Colt, Channing, Ash, and Sebastian are sitting in the living room. The TV is off, and all their expressions are serious.

“Lock those,” Colt says to me, referring to the double deadbolts on the door.

After I turn both locks, I face them inquiringly. “What’s going on?”

Ash rises to her feet and moves to sit on Channing’s lap, and his arm immediately slips around her.

“Take a seat,” Channing suggests, his face somber.

What the hell is going on? Knowing I’m not going to get an answer until I sit down, I walk to the end of the sofa that Ash had vacated and set my duffle bag at my feet. Colt’s sitting on the opposite end, and Ash and Channing are sitting in the middle corner of the L-shaped sofa. Sebastian is sprawled in the recliner.

No one’s smiling.

“What’s up with the cryptic greeting?” I ask.

They all exchange a look.

My heart sinks as I focus on Channing. “Harper moving out tomorrow?” It’s the only reason I can think of for the group to look so unhappy.

Channing rubs his jaw. “I wish that were the reason we’re sitting here.”

“Quit dragging this shit out and tell me already.”

Sebastian drags himself to his feet, and as he walks past Channing, he squeezes his shoulder. “I’m going to let you do the unfortunate honor.” His eyes slide to me. “We’ll talk later,” he says before he leaves the living room.

My eyes swing back to Channing. “What the fuck was that?”

“Harper was attacked at the clinic,” Colt tells me, his tone grim.
