The exterior set of doors opened and Mindy rushed in with bags and a drink container. She greeted them and then went to a side table to set up, pulling muffins from the bag and then setting up disposable cups.

Eric tried his best not to show how glad he was to see her. But damn, she was just what he needed.

He stood and went to her. “Thank you for this,” he said and she gave him a soft smile.

“It’s the least I can do.”

Her eyes met his for a second before she went to his aunt and Tori, expressing her support. The women talked for a few minutes as he watched from across the room.

In times like these, he got comfort from knowing that if something ever happened to him, his family would be there. There was no question in his mind, they’d move heaven and earth to ensure he was well taken care of.

His parents were headed there and would arrive any moment. They’d waited for someone to come dogsit because they planned to stay the night there at the hospital.

It was what family was about. His anyway.

Finally, the conversation lulled and Mindy stood. She gave both the elder Hamiltons a hug and then went to Eric.

“I know this is a difficult time. I just want you to know, I’m praying for Tobias.”

He took her elbow and guided her to the chairs. “Stay for a bit.”

Mindy met his gaze. “I can’t, I have to open the shop for a group that’s meeting there tonight.”

He guided her out to a short corridor. “I would walk you to your car but, any moment now, he’ll be out of recovery and, hopefully, we’ll get an update,” he said, looking over his shoulder at the doors.

“Of course. Please stay.” Her gaze searched his. “Let me know if you need anything.”

Eric nodded and, without thinking, he pulled her close and hugged her tightly. “Thank you.”

When her arms circled his waist, every emotion inside threatened to burst and he let out a long, shaky breath.

“Your Kevlar vest is crushing my boobs,” she whispered with a smile.

“Oh, sorry.” Eric loosened his hold on her. Then without thinking, he pressed his lips to hers, enjoying the feel of his woman.

Mindy responded, but cut the kiss short at the ding of the elevator doors about to open. “I’ll see you soon,” she said and hurried inside.
