Chapter Eight

Eppie woke with a start, her dreams full of monsters and shadows she didn’t know. Her first instinct

was to find Micah and talk to him about it, which surprised her. He was never far from her thoughts,

and try as she might to ignore it, she was worried about him. She lay in her bed and stared out the

window at the crescent moon in the black velvet sky. Micah had been gone less than a day, and she

missed him. The ache deep in her chest had been a constant since he left. It surprised her, too.

Her feelings became apparent when she was getting Miracle ready for bed and she saw how much of

Micah was in the girl, and not just his wavy brown hair. She had some of his mannerisms and his quirky

expressions, and even his words seemed to tumble from the girl’s mouth.

Micah had been overwhelming at first, frightening her with the way he hovered and watched her.

She’d come to realize he had taken care of her for so long that shifting his focus wasn’t going to be an

immediate change for him. He had lost himself somewhere along the way, and latching on to her had

given him a purpose.

Now that she’d woken from the coma, he’d lost that purpose and didn’t know what to do. He’d

become more jittery and unpredictable, not that she could predict anything that man was going to do.

The way he reacted to Dr. Lawson had not only surprised but confused her. No doubt he was more

confused than she was. Maybe that’s why he ran.

With a sigh, she climbed out of bed, knowing she wasn’t going to sleep any longer. It was hours before

dawn and she had nothing to do but think. That could be a dangerous proposition, so she decided to go

to the kitchen and have some warm milk. Perhaps a little bit of help could get her to sleep at least a

few more hours.

The last person she expected to see in the kitchen was Dr. Lawson. He’d shed his suit jacket, vest and

tie, looking more relaxed and casual than she imagined he would. His chocolate brown hair was

mussed as if he’d been running his fingers through the waves. A shadow of whiskers peppered his face,

which currently wore a surprised look at her appearance.

He had a half-eaten piece of bread in his hand and a glass of milk on the table. A self-deprecating grin

crossed his face as he rose to greet her.

“Elizabeth! I didn’t expect anyone to be up.” He set the bread down on the plate in front of him. “I’ve

been travelling so much I’m afraid eating regularly has been a challenge, and well, I got hungry.”

Eppie realized Dr. Lawson was more than a physician, he was a handsome, sexy man. And she noticed

it at the same time she realized perhaps Micah had been right to be jealous. While her body rejoiced in

joining with Micah, her heart still did not belong to his, and her head told her to keep all options open.

“Understandable. I
