CAVEN

“She’s fine. She’s fine. She’s fine,” I chanted to myself as I white-knuckled my steering wheel.

I’d just gotten home from the office when Ian had called to tell me that a man had mistaken Willow for Hadley and assaulted her outside the grocery store. He’d assured me that she was fine, but she was Willow. Fine was not fucking good enough. Leaving Rosalee with Alejandra, I’d darted out of the house, and the worst-case scenario played in my mind as I’d all but peeled out of my driveaway.

Because Ian knew me so well, I received a text a few minutes into my drive, warning me that an ambulance had arrived, but it was only a precautionary measure. In all caps, he repeated that Willow was fine.

It was crazy how a mind worked sometimes. I was ready for the ambulance, had mentally prepped for it the entire fifteen minutes it took me to arrive. However, the second it came into my view, a savage anxiety slashed through me. With nausea rolling in my stomach, I frantically searched the area for any sign of her red hair. It wasn’t until I caught sight of her sitting in the back of her Prius with the hatch open, shading her from the sun, that my pulse slowed a fraction.

She was okay.

But as I took in the fact that she had an icepack pressed against her face, I was not.

My car was barely in park before I was out the door, storming her way. The thunder of my steps caught her attention and her head slowly turned my way. The surprise that hit her face might as well have been a sledgehammer to my gut. Things were bad with us at the moment, but what the hell? Had she really not thought I’d come when I found out some idiot had attacked her in the parking lot?

Or maybe she’d hoped I wouldn’t.

“Nooooo,” she moaned, swinging a glare at Ian. “What did you do? I don’t want to be in this box, Ian. I don’t want to be in this box.”

He shrugged. “A man puts his hands on you and I’m there to see it? I’d end up in a pine box if I didn’t tell him about it.”

I had no fucking clue what the two of them were talking about. Nor did I care. My only concern was making sure she was truly okay and my swirling mind wouldn’t still until I did a full inventory of her injuries. I rested a hand on her thigh, the other going to her hand holding the icepack as I squatted in front of her.

My throat was gravel as I ordered, “Let me see.”

She sighed. “I’m fine, Caven. Really.”

“Fantastic. Then let me see.”

She stared at me, her chin quivering and her green eyes sparkling with unshed tears. “Please don’t. I don’t want to be in this box.”

“What are you talking about? What box?”

She glanced over at the cops, who were congregating behind a cruiser, then whispered, “The one in your head where I’m the girl at the mall who you have to rush in and save all the time.
