Excerpt
“When are you getting out of rehab?”
Mia wrinkled up her nose. “Hate. That. Word. Rehab. Sound. Like. Detox.” She fiddled with her hospital bracelet. “Discharge. A couple weeks.”
Don’t go. It could be hours before Tripp and his family visited. The thoughts of returning to an empty room made Mia consider begging Hank to stay. More than easing her loneliness, his presence centered her. She couldn’t get enough of his reluctant smiles or quick wit. Even before the attack, his infrequent visits outshone Christmas and her birthday.
Mia’s laughter carried across the open space, piercing his chest with an emotion too elusive and all encompassing to identify. The only thing that would please Hank more than having her direct that laugh toward him was for him to stop wanting it. As the echo of her happiness faded, it left him with a reality too certain and too awful to be anything but the truth. It was time for him to let her go. They’d clung to each other in their makeshift family, but now she’d found the real thing. And he was ballast—a reminder of their awful past she didn’t need.
Mia woke as Hank lifted her from the sofa. “I can walk,” she muttered, more asleep than awake. “I know you can, angel.” Humor colored the deep timbre of his voice. Mia nestled into his embrace, letting him carry her to bed. She’d pick something less enjoyable to assert her independence over. “Sleep tight.” He pressed a kiss to her forehead.
Once his unconscious mind had control of the yolk, all G-rated plans were quickly shoved in the corner for Hank’s better half to ponder later. For now, his less heroic side had control.
