“Is this Marisa Seaforth?” a woman’s voice asked.

“Yes, it is. Who is this?” I asked. Getting a call from a stranger at this hour can’t be good news.

“This is Judith Anderson, Sam’s mother.”

“Oh, God,” I thought. “Has something happened to Sam?”

“Yes. He’s been in an accident…a bad accident. A truck…I think you call them lories over there…a truck ran him off the highway, and he went down a ravine.”

“Is he alive? How bad is it?”

I held the telephone just off my ear, so Linda could listen too. She had her hand over her mouth in shock.

“It’s not good. He’s in critical condition with a spinal cord injury and some burns on his right side. He’s stable now, but the doctors are cautious and say if he survives the next 48 hours, he may make it.”

“How did you find me?” I asked.

“After they had him stabilized him, I went to his apartment. Marisa, he’s done nothing but talk about you since he came back from London. I know he cares for you quite deeply, so I went in his computer to see if I could find some way to contact you. I called his company, and after telling them about his accident and pleading with them, they gave me your number.”

“I’m so happy you did. I didn’t know what to do when he didn’t call or write. Will you call me if there are any changes in his condition?”

“I think this is an obvious question after reading some of your messages, but do you love him?”

“I do. I do with everything I am. I love him so much and wish I could be there with him.”

“I wish you could as well. If you want to come here and be with him, please let me know. I’ll see what I can do. I’ll call you as soon as there’s any change in his condition.”

After I rang off with Judith, Linda held me and comforted me. Hours passed before I fell into an exhausted sleep. The next morning, I called David and told him I wouldn’t be in, and he understood.

The rest of the day was a blur. I needed to get out of the house, so I traveled to London and walked around, mostly in tears. Later that afternoon, tired of walking, I was ready to go back to my flat, but wanted to visit Sam’s favorite place and tell Carlo what had happened. I took a taxi to Fino’s.

Just like the time I walked in with Sam, Carlo loomed a few feet away, greeting early diners. He looked in my direction. When he saw my face, he walked over, took me in his arms, and I collapsed in tears.

When I collected myself, Carlo took me back to his office, signaling to his staff where they could find him. Inside, I dabbed my eyes and apologized.

“You have nothing to apologize for. Did something happen between you and Sam?”

“No, not between us. Sam has been in an accident and has a spinal cord injury and some burns.
