Trish was pacing the small cabin when she heard the four-by-four pull up. She hadn’t expected him to return so soon, and she wasn’t sure it was even a good thing since she was still nursing a serious mad.

However, they needed to work this out. Talk. Clear the air. Find some way to be civil with each other. She forced herself to lower her crossed arms so she wouldn’t appear antagonistic as he opened the front door.

His shoulders were low. He looked defeated. He locked the door and dropped the key to the four-by-four on the counter. When he faced her, they remained silent, assessing each other.

“I shouldn’t have walked out,” he stated, surprising her.

She nodded as a chill crawled up her body. “I’d rather you didn’t leave me here alone like that. It unnerves me, especially since according to you I’m in serious danger. You left me with no transportation. I’m not even sure if there’s a weapon in this cabin.”

It was absurd they hadn’t discussed how she would protect herself.

“You’re right. Not to make excuses, but someone was watching the cabin the entire time. Someone always is.”

She swallowed. That was good to know.

“There’s a Glock tucked between the mattress on both sides. They’re loaded.”

She gave another sharp nod. Also important to know.

He came farther into the room and flopped down on the couch, running a hand through his thick hair. “I went to the shooting range.”

“Feel better?” she asked, remembering how he would do that in the past to blow off steam. It made him an excellent marksman a decade ago.

He smiled. “Yeah. And also worse. I need you to understand that the reason we’re here is for your safety. I spoke to Temple about this plan at length many times. I took a risk when I put myself out there and told the media the entire project rested on my shoulders. I did that to protect the rest of the team, for all the good it might have done.”

“I understand, but you did that without consulting me.”

He nodded. “I did. And it probably wasn’t my best-laid plan. The decision was quickly formulated and used as a stopgap to get the mass of people surrounding the front gate of the bunker to calm down. If they channeled their anger toward one person, perhaps they would stop attacking everyone else who is revived. Including you.”

“Except I’m your wife.”

“Right. Minor detail.”

A thought went through her mind that disturbed her. “Were you hoping you could leave without me and go on with your life?”

He jerked, his eyes widening. “No. Never. God, Trish. No. From the moment I woke up, the only thing on my mind was getting you back and making sure you were safe.”

“Ensuring my safety has nothing to do with how you feel about me. I would put my life on the line for every member of our team if it meant they each had a fighting chance to live. We’re doctors. We do that. I know you would too.
