Chapter 10

Neither spoke on the cab ride back to the hotel.

It wasn’t until they were in the elevator that Summer broke the silence. “I need sleep. I mean several solid hours of sleep. I barely know my own name anymore.”

Gabriella yawned next to her. “Something about a season…”

Summer’s head lolled slightly to the side. “What is?” she asked around a yawn.

“Your name.”

“Very funny.”

They walked slowly to their room and once inside, they each went about getting changed and crawled into their own beds.

She couldn’t speak for Gabriella, but Summer was asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. If it weren’t for the phone ringing four hours later, she would not be awake now. Forcing herself to sit up, she reached for her cell phone and became instantly alert when she saw her father’s number on the screen.

“Hello?”

“How are you doing?” Robert asked, wanting to ensure that his daughter was all right before bombarding her with news. “Sorry to wake you so soon.”

“I’m good… I’m good,” she said and then yawned. “What’s going on? Is Zach out of surgery? Have you talked to the doctors?”

He huffed. “He’s still in surgery. He had some internal injuries. They’ve set the bones in his legs and got the pins in and that alone’s going to make him pretty much immobile for quite some time. The nurse who came out said it should probably be another hour or so and then we’ll meet with the surgeons.”

“Wow. So we still don’t know everything.”

“I’m afraid not.”

It was her turn to sigh. “What about you, Dad? How are you doing?”

“No…no…I’m fine. Frustrated. But fine. You know I’m not big on patience and I hate standing around.”

She smiled. “I know. Do you want me to come back? To be there when you meet with the surgeons?”

“No, I want you to eat something that doesn’t come out of a Styrofoam container. At the rate this is going, we probably won’t be able to do more than get a glance at Zach tonight. It’s already late. There’s no point in hanging around now we know he’s here and he’s safe.”

Summer knew he was right, but she still felt guilty about not being there. “Are you sure? I could be there within the hour.”

“I know you’re worried just like the rest of us, Summer. But it would be pointless for you to drive all the way over here at this late hour only to turn around an hour or so later and go back. Wait until tomorrow. Hopefully by then, we’ll be able to see him.”

“Will you call me after you talk to the surgeons?”

“I promise.”

“Thanks, Dad.”

“Try to get some more rest. Tomorrow will be here before you know it, and while it won’t be as stressful as the last couple of days, I’m sure it’s going to present its own share of challenges.”

They hung up and Summer reclined against the pillows and closed her eyes. The urge to call a cab was almost overwhelming. She looked at her phone
