CHAPTER ONE
Jason pulled his Saturn into the garage and cut the engine. For a
moment, he sat and stared at the wall before him. He was late.
Again. He checked his watch, sighed, and opened the car door.
Sitting out here wouldn’t solve anything.
The kitchen was empty as he entered and pressed the button to
close the garage door. The soft glow from the large aquarium in the
wall shared by the living room was the only light in the room.
“Kelly!”
“In here.” The response came from the living room.
He hung his keys on the wooden rack beside the door and his
jacket on the coat rack then headed toward Kelly’s voice.
“Sorry I’m late.”
Kelly was curled up in the black leather chair on the other side
of the aquarium idly flipping through a magazine. A glass of iced
tea sat on the table beside her. She looked up and he saw the
accusation in her eyes.
“No, you’re not,” she retorted. “So don’t bother to say it.”
He sat on the ottoman in front of the chair. “I am sorry I’m late
when you expected me earlier, Kell,” he explained gently. “But I’m
not sorry for the reason I’m late.”
“Was there an emergency?”
He shook his head. “No.”
“You stopped in to see her again.”
“Yes, I did.”
Kelly picked up the glass and took a drink. When she put the
glass back down, she closed the magazine and set it beside her
drink.
“And that took you an extra two hours?”
“She had a bad day. She needed someone.”
Kelly looked away. “Why you? What’s wrong with the nurses?
Or another doctor? And why didn't you at least call?”
“Because I’m the one she asks for.” He blew out a long breath.
