I felt the light touch caressing my forehead flitter over my eyebrows I wanted to turn into it, to just let hi froo and handed some of it over to him That terrified me I didn’t want to think about what it meant to rely on Race when he already had the fate of an entire city balanced precariously in the palm of his hands

“It’s a good thing your sister has a hard head, then She’ll be okay She just has to open her eyes I know you can hear me, Bry Get those baby blues open for me”

Karsen laughed a sad little sound thatto freak when she sees what they had to do to her hair in order to stitch the back of her head closed”

My hair! That hadout of hts assaulted me I hurt everywhere there was to hurt

“What happened to my hair?” Sure, it was shallow of s at hand, but dammit, I had awesome hair It was just one more reason to be furious at the way this stalker had invaded my life My voice was raspy and it rattled in my ears all tinny and thin

Race’s tender caress stopped reen eyes were suddenly all I could see as he looht and there were scary shadows dancing behind the concern in his gaze as he looked down at me

“There she is Karsen, why don’t you grab a nurse and let them know she’s awake”

“Can’t tell you hoorried you had ruff and I wanted to touch his face, but evenacross the surface of my skin

“I got pushed down the stairs”

“I know You fell down an entire flight of stairs onto the floor The back of your head split open You lost a ton of blood and have been unconscious for four hours The doctor orried you bruised your brain”

That all sounded pretty serious I groaned again and focused on soet my head around “What happened to my hair?”

He sighed against htened up He cupped my cheek in his palm and flashed that killer dimple at me

“You’re gonna need a haircut when you get back on your feet You have no less than thirty stitches holding the back of your head closed You cracked your noggin good, pretty girl”
