I have ever since he kidnapped me.
Maybe I should keep trusting him now.
I take a deep breath and make a snap decision. It might not be the right thing to do, but I keep following Owen’s directions.
I can make a better choice at the safe house. I’ll have more time to think then.
“Shit, I guess I’m going to have to be the one to care for him then.”
Much as I’d rather him be treated in a hospital, that can’t happen. Thank God I know what I’m doing. I know how to treat gunshot wounds… I’ve been doing that at the clinic forever. But Iamgoing to need supplies.
I don’t want to stop. I don’t want to give those guys a chance to catch up to me, but I need to.
If I don’t, Owen might die anyway and all of this will have been for nothing.
“40.650002°N latitude and -73.949997°W,” I mutter to myself. “897111098.”
I can’t forget either of those things. Even if I’m using the GPS to get to where I need to be, I still want to have the coordinates in my head. Just in case.
I don’t even care if I look like a crazy person, I keep reciting those numbers to myself even as I pull up at a gas station to fill up the car.
The words keep rolling around in my mouth. I’m not going to stop saying them. Luckily there aren’t many people around at this time to see me muttering to myself.
Honestly, it’s harder than it should be to keep everything in my mind while I’m also searching for the right medical equipment to help out Owen. The heavy weight of the ankle monitor is a distant worry. I barely feel it in my rush to get what I need. Owen cannot die. I won’t let that happen.
I don’t think I’m going to be able to geteverythingthat I need in here, but I can’t exactly go to a hospital, can I? I don’t even know where any pharmacies are around here.
This will have to do.
My heart is freaking thundering against my rib cage.
I might be losing my damn mind here.
Wait.
In the midst of everything, I spot something that halts me in my tracks.
Something I haven’t even thought of until now.
A pregnancy test.
Shit.
I haven’t had a period the whole time I’ve been with Owen now. It’s been nearly three months now and I’m fairly regular.
I haven’t needed a single tampon the whole time I have been there.
There’s no way I can be…
Can I?
I mean, we’ve been sleeping together,obviously. And I don’t think we’ve used protection the whole time. I don’t really think about that kind of thing when I’m in the heat of the moment.
But now…
Well, now I can’t think of anything else.
My pulse is pounding.
