When he glances my way, I stop in place.
I’ve seen him before.
“Will she be okay?” He rubs his chin. “Her name is Eloise Rehn. I’ve been trying to get in to see her, but no one will let me.”
I won’t either because the guy in front of me is the same guy that was in the framed photograph with Eloise that I saw in her nightstand.
Her had a hand on her when she was wearing a bikini.
“You are?” I ask, ignoring what he just said to me.
“Lynton Zale.” He swallows hard.
“How do you know her, Lynton Zale?”
He drops his head. When he looks up again tears are clouding his eyes. “I’m her best friend. I’ve always been her best friend, but we… I never should have left.”
“Lynton!”
I turn to see Draco sprinting toward us. He rounds me to get closer to the guy claiming to be Eloise’s best friend. “They said we can’t see her right now.”
I look to Draco for more information but I don’t need to hear him speak a word. He wraps an arm around Lynton’s shoulder and tugs him closer. He presses his lips to Lynton’s forehead. “She’ll be okay, babe. This is her boyfriend. Dr. Morgan.”
“She’ll be all right?” Lynton looks at me, his eyes pleading with me. “I never got a chance to tell her I was sorry I left town, but my heart was broken.”
“I’m sorry about that.” Draco cradles him in his arms. “That was all my fault.”
“I didn’t know how to apologize to her,” he confesses. “She didn’t know about us. We hooked up and then split up, and I couldn’t take it, so I just left.”
“He doesn’t need to know about all our bullshit.” Draco comforts him with a pat on the cheek. “We found our way back to each other. That’s all that matters. That’s all she’s going to care about.”
“I’ll be able to tell her I’m sorry?” Lynton asks me. “That’ll happen.”
I glance through the glass to where Eloise is. She’s hooked up to monitors and oxygen but she’s improving by the minute. “You’ll need to get in line behind me, but yeah, it’ll happen.”
“Is she in love?” He looks to Draco to answer that.
I do it for him. “I believe she is. I know I’m in love with her and I’ll love her until I die.”
I catch sight of someone else heading this way, so I excuse myself. “I need to take care of something.”
Both men nod as I walk away.
“How is she?” Daxton tries to look past me.
“You should be in the waiting room with Penny.”
“I can’t.” He drops his gaze to the floor. “Els entire family is here, aren’t they?”
I nod. “They came as soon as they heard what happened to her.”
He takes a step to avoid a nurse running right into him. She apologizes for staring at her tablet screen, but I hurry her along by asking her to check on one of my patients in CCU.
“What should I do, Dr. Morgan?”
“Do what’s right,” I tell him. “When Eloise is strong enough, and her heart can handle it, you need to talk to her.”
“I should talk to her brother now and her dad?”
