Chapter Twenty-Six

“Hey, sweetheart,” Graham answered his daughter’s call.

“We wanted to see if you were home and it was okay to stop by,” Megan said.

“Of course, it’s fine.” Though it was unusual for his daughter to request permission versus dropping in.

“Is Erin there?”

“She should be here anytime.” His guard went up higher.

“I’ll see you soon.” She ended the call before he could ask if everything was okay.

Erin arrived first.

“You look extremely nice.” He admired her in a skirt that showed off her slender legs and a purple top that flattered her figure. “Megan is going to stop by any time now. She didn’t say why, but I’m hoping she’s got an update about contacting the doctor at Duke.”

“Will you run this upstairs while I put away the groceries?” She handed him her overnight bag.

“Sure, but I don’t have a problem with my kids knowing we spend the nights together. If you want to leave some things here, I’ve got empty drawers upstairs.” He’d been keeping his Go Bag in the car, but he wouldn’t mind leaving a uniform and change of clothes at her place either.

“I’ll think about it.”

She didn’t commit, but he gave her a kiss to think about too.

A few minutes later, Megan rapped on the door. She waited for him to open it rather than walk in as she’d typically done in the past.

He couldn’t decipher her expression, but she extended a bouquet of yellow, pink, purple, and white flowers to Erin. “These are for you.”

“You didn’t need to do that.” Erin accepted the bouquet.

“I wasn’t as welcoming as I should have been last weekend.”

“You had a lot on your mind.”

“They’re also a thank you for reaching out to your friend with a connection at Duke.”

“Did you find out anything?” Graham couldn’t wait to ask.

“I spoke with Dr. Verner’s assistant yesterday. He sent me a detailed family history form to complete. I sent them my medical records today, but can you get Mom’s records so I can send those as well?”

“Sure. I’ll log in and access them or have them released to you or his office.”

“If I can get everything to them by Monday or Tuesday at the latest, he’ll see me next Thursday.”

“Is that good or bad?”

“They called to schedule the appointment after Dr. Verner looked at my MRI. They didn’t give details, but I take it to mean what he saw concerned him. I called and talked to Aunt Sharon to get information on Mom’s side of the family. I need some medical information from you on your side too.”

Reece held up some papers.

“And I should warn you,” Megan continued, “Aunt Sharon is coming to visit.”

Graham’s groan drew Erin’s attention. “Did she say when or where she was staying?”

“She didn’t, and I didn’t ask. Or offer. She already has me stressed out, going worst-case scenario, talking about great grandma, and there might be other female relatives who died young. She’s freaking out and going to schedule an MRI herself.”

“You don’t need that right now. Have you,
