Ignoring her, I wrap ht hand, lass

She squeals, ju back “Ryat!”

Pulling lass, she watches me wide-eyed as I unwrap the shirt frolass out and then pull it back on, along with my hat

Reaching back in, I grab two energy drinks

“Your hand” She steps toward ”

I have blood running down h No biggie

“You need stitches …”

“I’ht

“But …” She reaches out, grabbing lass in it”

“Then I’ll get it out” I yankpaid to do and help the ones ant it”

She gasps like what I said offended her, which I did no such thing It’s literally her job Leaving her standing there with herroom to see Ty still here

I sigh and plop down next to hi a word, I pass him one of the drinks I took from the crooked machine

He chuckles but reaches out and takes it It’s as close to an apology as he’s going to get My wife is the only person ill ever hear sorry from me But I do understand it wasn’t his fault It was o home, I’ll allowto kill Matt for laying his hands on her

“I had Sarah drive us here in my car,” he speaks “That way you can look at Blakely’s where it sits See if he left anything behind”

I s, knowing that I’ to like what I see on the inside after what he did to her But he’s right, I need to look and see if he left any clues to find hiain “Thanks”

BLAKELY

“RYAT,” I GROWL “I can do it”

“I know you can, Blake,” he lies If he thought I could, then he’d actually let me

Shoving his are and allow him to help me walk back to the bed I have a broken nose, not a broken leg

Getting up and into it, I sigh “When can I leave?” I ask hi ti me for all these tests that come back fine every time

“They said sometime tomorrow”
