Not now. Not when they had so much to say to each other.
Vivienne continued to speak, telling her where they took her father. It surprised Mia that she was able to concentrate on what was being said when memories of all the happy moments with her father flooded her mind.
“Okay. We’ll be there as soon as we can,” she said and then hung up. As the phone slipped out of her hand, a cry erupted from deep down inside of her. She was sure it came out like a wail, but she couldn’t stop it.
“Mia, talk to me. What’s wrong?” Ethan’s concerned voice touched her ear. He held her in his lap, his strong arms around her.
“My father. He was taken to the hospital. I have to get to him, Ethan. I have to,” she cried, clutching at his shirt.
“I’ll get you there. I promise, suga,” he murmured against her ear. “I’ve got you.”
I’ve got you.

During the day, Ryleigh Andrews is an analyst, but even then, she’s writing, sneakily crafting scenes on post-it notes. She’s been told she’s a bit of a geek . . . some say nerd. She’ll agree to it all. She loves music. It’s been a force in her life for as long as she can remember. Her love of Star Wars and superheroes has probably been going on just as long . . . see, this is where the geek/nerd thing comes into play. But, most of all, Ryleigh loves the written word. She’s been writing for a long time. Her first story came to her during one of her history classes. She wrote it in the margins of her notebook in teeny tiny letters so no one knew that she was writing a book instead of taking notes on 16th Century Europe. She currently lives in Chicago, Illinois, with her husband and son, along with her Siberian Husky, Mick Jagger, and her cat, Winston Churchill.
