“I was walking on a sidewalk, and a car jumped the curb. I’m not sure if he stopped or not, but I don’t think he was traveling very fast. You don’t need to fly all the way out here. I feel much better now that I’ve heard your voice.”

“Like hell I’m not coming out. Sasha is looking at flights now. Actually, to hell with that. I’m calling Josh to take the company jet.”

Relief flooded me that they would be on their way soon even if it would take at least six hours to cross the country.

“Did you call Colby? He could be there with you until we arrive.”

“Um, no. I think he may be out of town and I’ll be fine. By the time they’re finished doing everything, I’ll be ready to crash with these painkillers. And then when I wake up, you’ll be here. Do me a favor, though and don’t call Mom. The last thing I need is for her to come out here right now.”

“Okay, sis. We’ll discuss it after I get there. I’ll call you when we board to let you know when we’ll land, and if you don’t answer, I’ll send a text. I love you, and we’ll be there soon, okay?”

I sniffed, trying not to get emotional. “I love you, too. Be safe, and don’t worry about me.”
