Shane slowly rose to his feet, relieved that Gabby had agreed to investigate the source of her headaches. His pulse still hadn’t returned to normal after he’d woken to her heart-thundering scream.

It had taken him two frustrating attempts to get the combination numbers entered correctly, long seconds that had seemed to stretch forever. When he’d barreled inside, he’d been overwhelmingly relieved that she’d been alone and not held captive by some madman.

Although finding Gabby screaming, crying and covering her ears while in the throes of a horrible nightmare hadn’t been a whole lot better.

He hated seeing her so deeply afraid.

Shane took a deep breath and let it out slowly. The hour was still early, barely four-thirty in the morning, so he headed for the door.

“Shane?”

He paused and turned back to face Gabby. “Yes?”

“Thank you for coming to my rescue.”

“You’re welcome,” he said, forcing a smile. “Try to get some sleep, okay?”

Her answering smile was wry as she shook her head. “I’ll try, but I doubt I’ll be able to.”

He hesitated, hating the idea of leaving her alone. “Is the cafeteria open this early? We could grab some coffee.”

Gabby’s expression brightened. “Are you sure you wouldn’t mind? The cafeteria isn’t open yet, but we could get some coffee from the ER and then head over to the cafeteria to sit down for a bit.”

“I don’t mind at all,” he said, speaking the truth. He liked spending time with Gabby, far more than he should. Oh sure, he could tell himself he was playing bodyguard in order to safeguard her, but in reality he wanted to be there. The mere thought of handing over the job of protecting her to someone else didn’t sit well, either.

“I’ll, um, just grab my shoes,” he said, glancing down at the pair of scrubs he’d used to sleep in. He needed to get a new uniform, but there should be time for that later.

“Okay, sounds good.”

He left Gabby’s call room and quickly pulled on his black cop boots, which looked ridiculous with his scrubs, so he took a few extra minutes to change back into his uniform. Not just because of the shoes, but because he didn’t want to leave his weapon behind.

Just in case.

When he was fully dressed, he left the room, realizing that today was Sunday. His day off, unless a SWAT call came through.

Would Gabby be interested in attending church services with him?

He was surprised at how badly he wanted her to.

Shane returned next door to Gabby’s room. “Ready?” she asked, looking better, as if she’d successfully put the remnants of her nightmare behind her.

He couldn’t help but grin. “Absolutely.”

Gabby led the way down the hall, past the rest of the call rooms. Shane glanced at room five, the one she’d used last night, frowning when he noticed the door to the room was ajar.

“Gabby, wait,” he said, his voice rising with urgency. “Go back to your call room.”

“What’s wrong?” she asked, swinging around in alarm.

He pulled his weapon, keeping his gaze laser focused on the door.
