Wyatt wasn’t the kind of man to ask for many favors, but he had no problem asking Stu Randall to borrow his private plane. After he got off the phone with Regan, he’d driven out to Stu’s mansion and, over the protestations of his staff, insisted they wake up their boss.

Maybe it was the fact that Stu was half-asleep, or maybe it was because he wanted him the hell out of his house. Whichever it was, Wyatt managed to convince the man to call up his pilot and get things in order so Wyatt could fly home to Michigan immediately.

“This boy, is he going to die?” Stu’s own family had a tragic history not many people knew about. His brother, Angus, had been in a farming accident on their ranch. The boy had been fifteen. He’d sustained massive head trauma and had existed in a vegetative state for years. The only reason Wyatt knew this was because one night over a bottle of bourbon, Stu had shared the story.

“Not today,” Wyatt replied.

“He must mean a lot to you.”

“He does.”

“Okay, then.”

They didn’t talk about the race on Sunday or anything to do with NASCAR. Wyatt hopped in his truck and headed to the airport, hoping like hell the pilot would be there and ready by the time he made it.

In the end, he had to wait a few hours for a flight plan to be filed and for another pilot to be located. Stu’s regular guy had been at a family function and was in no shape to get behind the controls of a plane.

It was cold and crisp and a bit of a shock after being in Florida for the past few weeks. Hudson met him on the tarmac, and he climbed into his brother’s truck.

“I appreciate the lift.”

“No problem. I was sorry to hear Gwen’s son was back in the hospital. We’re all pulling for him.”

They sped out of the airport. “You talk to Regan at all?”

“She’s the one who called.”

“Gotta be tough, her job. On one hand, you need to be strong for your patients and their families, but when you have that personal connection, it makes it that much harder.”

Wyatt didn’t answer. He couldn’t shake the echo of her voice in his head. Of knowing she was in pain and hurt and scared for this boy who meant so much to her, while he was in Florida, waiting on a race.

He felt like an absolute shit.

Hudson dropped him at the hospital with the promise to call if Patrick’s condition changed. Wyatt hurried inside and headed straight for the ICU. He knew exactly where it was. Hell, he’d spent a lot of time in there after the accident.

He spied Brad at first, talking quietly with a doctor Wyatt didn’t know. The nurse behind the desk
