All around Rebecca, people swarmed. Alfie was groaning on the ground, clutching his leg. Beside her, Lauren was crying quietly. Military personnel flooded the room, yet she couldn’t move.

Couldn’t feel anything.

Her mind played over and over the moment Alfie raised his gun and pointed it directly at her. The look of malice in his eyes. The way his lips curled into a sinister smile. Each moment was burned into her psyche, never to be forgotten.

There was no pain radiating through her body, so she hadn’t been shot. But she’d heard the bullets. There’d been more than one. If she hadn’t been hit, then who had?

Who had hit Alfie? Where had that shot come from?

Thoughts tumbled and turned with the replay of images of the last few moments.

“Rebecca?”

Was someone calling her name? Or was her mind playing tricks on her?

“Florence?”

Rebecca blinked, and the sounds from the room thundered back into her consciousness. She gasped and took another breath. And then another.

“Florence!”

There was only one person who called her that. She blinked again, and then she saw him. Standing in front of her. Concern highlighting his blue eyes.

Is he really here? Or am I dreaming? Has this whole thing been a dream?

“Adam?”

“Yeah, Florence, it’s me.”

The tears she’d managed to keep at bay during the whole ordeal welled up and one trickled down her face. “You’re here.”

“I am.” His thumb brushed it away, a silent question shining in his eyes—can I hold you?

She nodded, still wrapping her head around the fact that he was in the room with her. In the back of her mind, she’d hoped he’d find her. But all her thoughts had been on trying to survive the ordeal she’d found herself in.

Adam’s arms closed around her, bringing her flush against his hard body. A sense of safety surrounded her. She didn’t want to cry, but being held close, with Adam’s unique scent engulfing her, the floodgates opened, and she sobbed against his chest, letting all the emotions of the past few hours flow out of her. Adam said nothing—just held her tight. Giving her his strength.

Rebecca had no idea what was going on around her, but she heard Alfie’s howl of pain. Were they transferring him to a gurney?

Someone touched her arm and she froze, choking on her sob as fear welled up. Had Alfie escaped while they were moving him? She wanted to run, but like earlier, the message wasn’t getting from her brain to her feet.

“It’s okay. You’re safe. I’ve got you.” Adam’s soft words again pierced the cloud of fear around her and calmed her.

She lifted her head from his chest, sniffing inelegantly, to find Ellie standing next to them, concern highlighting her brown eyes. “Are you hurt?” she asked.

Rebecca shook her head. At least, she didn’t think she was. Then again, she was numb, so there could be blood leaking from a bullet hole, and she wouldn’t know. Although that didn’t make sense. If she had been shot, Adam would’ve said something.

“Do you think you’ll
