Chapter Two
...Jessica?

Elizabeth Wakefield was sitting in a hard, uncomfortable chair in the hospital waiting room, doubled
over and sobbing her pretty blue eyes out, when she first caught side of the man entering the
lobby. Tall, dark, and hot even from the back, he had a certain charisma that demanded attention.

feet and running toward me. I froze...I KNOW that voice...
