Ask yourself what is important,

then build your life around the answer.

JARED’S MIND REELED. So many thoughts he couldn’t concentrate. It’d only been a couple of hours since he’d been with his dad and now he was in the hospital? He called Jace to get details and the words possible heart attack thundered in his ears. He’d given little thought to life without parents. That worry, reserved for twenty years down the road. At fifty-six, Dad could easily live till then . . . or longer.

And then there was the situation with Raynie. Dammit. Couldn’t deal with it at the moment, but once Dad got out of the woods, Jared would straighten it all out. What if she’d met someone? A bad boy who’d never give a shit about her or Silbie? Raynie had convinced herself that’s all she deserved. Why did Jared even care? He barely knew her. Not true. He’d already learned more about her than most women he dated.

His mind spiraled out of control. In fifteen more minutes he’d be at Covenant Hospital. Jace said to come to emergency. According to his brother, Dad never lost consciousness. Light-headed and arm tingling, Mom insisted he go to the ER. He agreed only if she drove him.

Talk about stubborn. Raynie was in the same category. Maybe her reason was as simple as she claimed. But she wasn’t taking too much of his time. Hell, he wasn’t seeing her enough. Sure, he’d told himself not to get involved, but last night when she looked as if she wanted him to kiss her, that notion became history.

There could be more than friendship. He knew it. Felt it in his soul. Well, if she forgave him for lying and stayed in Lubbock. Two major hurdles, but not impossible.

What would he do if Dad died? What about Mom? Didn’t want to think about that. She’d be lost. They’d been together so long. Without him a big part of her would die, too.

Jared’s chest tightened. This couldn’t be happening. Not now. Not when business was good, and he’d finally met a woman who made him crazy in a good way. Shouldn’t even be thinking about her, but that was easier than facing dad’s condition might be serious.

He turned into the parking lot and found a space near the entrance which was a miracle within itself. Maybe that was an omen. God’s way of getting Jared inside as soon as possible to see his dad one last time. He stepped out of the truck, leaned both hands against the fender, and told himself to be strong and stay positive. He pushed away and rushed across the pavement at a fast clip.

As he strolled down the long, tiled corridor, his mind continued to race right along with his heart. He’d always hated hospitals. It was the only place he’d seen his father cry. Accidents. Those were the Sloan curse. Not heart trouble. First, Dad’s parents killed in a boating mishap, then Jace sentenced to life in a wheelchair from a car wreck.
