Chapter 16

Sometimes I question my sanity, but the voices in my head tell me I’m fine.

Riding in the helicopter wasn’t anywhere near as bad as I thought it’d be. In all actuality, had the circumstances been different, I would’ve definitely gotten a lot more out of it—enjoyed it even.

However, I hadn’t enjoyed it even a little bit.

Not with Alex moaning every time the helicopter jolted.

She nearly slept through the whole flight, and probably would have the entire flight, but the man in the front seat who was controlling the big bird we were in had a very deep voice like her father’s.

Hearing that, Alex had opened her eyes and said, “Daddy?”

My stomach felt like it was tied in knots.

“Just me for now, honey bun.” I leaned forward and smiled when Alex’s eyes met mine. “You in any pain?”

She shook her head.

That was good. The moment we’d gotten in here, the paramedic and registered nurse, a man in his late twenties or early thirties, had assessed that she needed more meds to make this flight as comfortable as possible.

Wanting her not to be in any pain, I didn’t say a word as I watched the man administer the meds, and then monitor her vitals.

Nobody spoke, and I found that I was okay with that. I had a lot of shit swirling around in my brain, and I wanted time to unravel it before we got to the hospital and I had to put the mask back on—the one that reflected cool, calm, and collected.

But staring into Travis’ little girl’s eyes, the eyes that looked so much like her father, I found it hard to do anything.

“No. Where am I?”

I sat back and pointed to the window. “We’re in a helicopter. You were in an accident.”

Her brows raised. “Really?”

Her voice was faint, but I could hear what was being said. Barely.

“Yeah, sweetheart. Really.” I grinned, even though the smile didn’t meet my eyes. “Have you ever broken your arm before?”

She shook her head—or tried to—and shot me a startled look when she realized that she couldn’t.

“That’s a little thing that goes around your neck to keep you from moving it. They want to make sure your neck and head don’t have any damage that they can’t see. If you move, and you do have something wrong, it could take you longer to heal. And we want you up and running as fast as possible. You have field day coming up!”

The girl smiled, and my heart ripped wide open.

“Will you come to my field day?”

I’d quit my job to make sure that I could make it if I had to.

“Yeah, honey.” I smiled. “I think I can do that. Do you want me to bring you lunch?”

She nodded. “But don’t forget to bring Reggie something.”

I felt tears clog my throat, happy to hear that she didn’t want me to forget my daughter.

Progress, if even a little, was a huge stride for us.

“I can do that. We can have a lunch date. Do
