Sage was waiting when Joel knocked on the door that evening. It was getting late but she was still tied up in knots about the accident and couldn’t sleep until she saw him. “Hey, come in.”

He did, his eyes glued on her. “You feeling okay?” He reached to brush the curls back from her face, studying it.

“Yes.” She grabbed his hand before he could drop it and gave it a squeeze. “I’m fine. Jonquil’s the one who was really hurt. She broke her tibia and has to wear a cast for the next month, at least, probably more.”

“Is she in bed, then?” He shut the door behind him and locked it without releasing her hand. “Blake said it would heal okay. So she’ll be fine if she takes it easy?”

She snorted. “If she would take it easy. She’s so stubborn—we have that wedding tomorrow, and she still had arrangements and bouquets that had to be put together. She refused to let her staff take care of it, and went back to the hotel to finish her work after we were released from the hospital.”

He smiled—a rare sight. “Tough lady. I can just see her hobbling around her flower shop.”

“That, at least, we managed to prevent. We set her up at a table with someone to play fetch for her. One of the girls who works banquets was happy to have the extra hours even if Jonquil did snap and growl all afternoon and into the evening. When we ask how she is, she puts on a bright smile and says she’s fine, but I can see the exhaustion in her eyes.” Sage leaned into him, burying her face in his broad chest, soaking in the comfort his presence always gave her. “I got her hurt, Joel. If I hadn’t insisted we take my car—”

“Hey, none of that. It wasn’t your fault. You couldn’t have known.” He rubbed his cheek over her curls and his slid his hands along her spine. “We don’t know what caused the accident yet. In any case, it wasn’t something you could stop.”

She turned her dark eyes up at him, keeping her cheek pressed against his chest. “We both know this was the stalker, Joel. This wasn’t an accident. Not really. I wanted to believe it was an accident, but I couldn’t convince myself. What if I get someone else hurt? Or worse, killed? I don’t know if I can stay here. He’s not going to give up.” Desperation rose inside her, worry layering on itself over and over as she thought of everything that could go wrong.

“Whoa, hold on.” He set his hands on Sage’s shoulders and shifted her away from him, looking into her face. “What are you saying?”

“If I stay here, eventually he’s going to try to come at me in my home. My sisters will be in the way. I can’t let one of them—another one of them—get hurt because of me.” She’d spent most of the afternoon and evening thinking about it.
