CHAPTER NINE

“You know,” Zac said, finishing his coffee the next morning. “I could be persuaded to stay with you a while longer.”

Cassie smiled at the handsome man in her life. “No, you go spend time with Adam. He’s your friend and the reason you came to Chicago in the first place. Besides, I have some things to do to prepare for tonight’s show.”

He pulled her in his arms and gave her a quick coffee-tasted kiss. “Sure?”

“Sure.” Just then the phone rang and she slipped out of his arms. “I’d better answer that.”

He headed for the door. “See you tonight at the station.”

She nodded as she picked up the phone. It was Maggie, her friend at the hospital. Cassie knew from the other woman’s tone that something was wrong. “Maggie?” she whispered, a shiver going down her spine.

“Oh honey, I thought I’d better phone you. I didn’t want to but…” Her voice sounded teary. “Honey, Mikey didn’t make it.”

Cassie swayed then sank down on the kitchen chair. “Wh..what?”

“There was nothing we could do. I’m sorry. His heart stopped during his operation yesterday afternoon.” Maggie continued speaking, talking a bit more in detail. “I didn’t want to tell you before your show last night, but I knew I had to let you know this morning.”

“I thought he’d be okay,” Cassie whispered, rapidly blinking back tears. Mikey had already gone to another ward to be prepped for his operation when she’d been there yesterday morning. She hadn’t even said goodbye.

“He loved you coming here, Cassie. Please remember how happy you made him.” There was a pause. “Do you want me to come over after my shift?”

“No.” Cassie swallowed, then cleared her throat. “No, I’m fine. Thanks, Maggie.”

“Take care then. And if you need me just call, okay.”

“Okay. Thanks again, Maggie.” She hung up the phone with a shaky hand.

“What’s the matter?” Zac said, crouching in front of her, and she blinked, realizing he hadn’t left after all.

She cleared her throat. “Um…” Then she told him.

“I’m sorry, sweetheart.” Zac’s eyes were full of concern as he pulled her to her feet and into his arms, holding her. “Let yourself cry.”

She did.

Afterward, she leaned back. “You should go, Zac. Adam will be expecting you and I’m fine now.”

He shook his head. “I’m not leaving you alone like this. You’ve had a major shock and you’re upset. You should have someone with you.”

“No. I don’t need anyone.”

He slid his hand under her chin. “Why? Because you’re frightened of falling apart in front of me? I can handle it, sweetheart.” He paused. “I guess the question is can you?”

She gave a gasp and felt her lips begin to tremble. For such a short acquaintance, he seemed to know her well - better than she knew herself. And right now she was grateful for that. All at once she let herself sink into him, seeking his strength. “Make love to me, Zac.”

His brows drew together. “Cassie, I didn’t mean --”

“Zac, please,” she begged. “I need you, Zac. I need you inside me.
