“Don’t leave me,” she finally heard him mumble.

“I won’t.”

The next hour was one of the scariest moments she’d ever encountered as they waited to find out the outcome of his injury. True to her word, she’d ridden in the ambulance and held his hand the entire time while whispering words of encouragement to him.

“It was fun while it lasted,” he muttered.

“Don’t say that, Alec. You’ll be back in no time,” she tried to reassure him, knowing in the back of her mind that he might be right. This very well might be the end of his career.

As his face continued to swell and his eyes almost completely shut now, it became even more difficult for him to communicate with her.

“Ma’am, we’re going to take him back now. You’ll have to wait in the waiting room until we know more,” one of the ER nurses attempted to tell her.

“She’s my wife,” she heard Alec say. “I’d like for her to stay with me.”

This time, she didn’t bother to correct him. If it meant she got to stay alongside him, then so be it. She’d pretend to be his wife for as long as she needed to be. Right now, Alec needed someone to reassure him it was all going to be okay. And that someone just happened to be her.

It was too soon to tell what the future held for the two of them. If anything at all. Could be they were better suited as friends, but Camryn had a feeling there was more going on than either of them were willing to admit.

One thing was certain, she’d be there for him as long as he needed her to be. And if something more happened along the way…well, she’d take her chances when the time came.

The End…For Now
