Both women were due in June.
“When she tells you to reach out, she really means it,” Sam said. “Her Wild Widows group is incredible. I think you’d really like them.”
“I’m sure I will. I’m just not ready yet. I hope you understand.”
“Of course I do. You’re calling the shots, Ang. Whatever you need whenever you need it.”
“Thanks for bringing me tonight, Trace. It helped.”
The three of them walked out of the building arm in arm. Sam hugged her sisters goodbye and promised to check in the next day.
“Sorry to keep you guys so late,” Sam said to Vernon as he held the back door to the SUV for her.
“No problem at all.”
“Yes, it is, and I appreciate it. I’d like to stop at GW for a few minutes on the way home.”
“Of course.”
When they were on the way to the hospital, Sam texted Nick.Leaving HQ, stopping to see Shelby for a minute, and then I’ll be home. Sorry to be so late.
No worries. The twins are still up. I think they might be coming down with something…
BOTH of them?
Yep.
Uh-oh. Be there soon.
At GW, she walked through the main doors with Vernon and Jimmy and took the elevator to Shelby’s floor.
“This is the time to go places,” Sam said. “No one to stare at me.”
Vernon chuckled as he led her off the elevator while Jimmy followed.
As they walked toward Shelby’s room, a woman came running toward them. “You’re the first lady! Oh my God!”
Vernon held up his hand to stop the woman from getting any closer.
“What’s wrong? I was just saying hello.”
“Please step back,” Vernon said.
“Oh, I see how it is,” the woman said, frowning. “You’re too good for regular people now.”
“What?” Sam said. “You came charging at me out of nowhere. The agents are doing their jobs. How does that make me too good for regular people?”
“I just wanted to say hello,” she said, seeming chastened.
“There’s nothing wrong with that, but when you come charging at someone under Secret Service protection, they’re going to guard their subject. Every time. Okay?”
“I’m sorry.”
“Your apology is accepted.”
“I’m a big fan of you and your husband.”
“Thank you. We appreciate your support.”
