Chapter Eight

Inside Jolene’s apartment, Ivy met her sons and then sat for a brief exam as Jolene looked her over. “No concussion.”

“He strangled me to subdue me, not hit me like he did poor Matt.”

Jolene ran her hand carefully down Ivy’s spine. It hurt, but not enough that Ivy had to scream or jerk away. “I don’t think you’ve broken any vertebrae, but it wouldn’t be a bad idea to get an x-ray.”

“Yeah, I don’t think I want to go anywhere near the hospital, but thanks.”

Jolene shrugged. “I can’t force you to do anything you don’t want to do. Okay, you guys can have the living room. We’re going to sleep for a while, and we’ll head out at first light.”

Ivy nodded her appreciation as she curled up on two of the couch cushions. Matt sat on the other cushion, with his legs propped on the coffee table after Jolene nodded her permission. Soon, it was just the two of them. She was too tired to say much, but she put her foot on Matt’s thigh. “Thank you for finding me and coming after me.”

“Of course. You’re my best friend. I wouldn’t leave you behind. It was just a stroke of luck that I met Jolene’s sons.”

“Thank goodness for that.” She mostly mumbled the words, not even sure if he heard them. She was too close to slumber to try again, and as her body finally relaxed enough to let her slip into sleep, she didn’t even have the energy to worry about what came next.
