“Shit.” Carter swears under his breath. “Okay. I’ll get Noah to bed, find him a sitter, and head there.”
“It’s okay. Stay with him. I’ve got this. I’ll stay here.”
“Thanks, Dominic.”
What is he thanking me for? I caused this.
I hang up. “You don’t have to stay,” I tell Gabby again.
“That’s okay. I don’t mind.” She crosses the room, making a beeline for the vending machine in the corner and reads out the options. “Coffee. Espresso. Cafe Latte. Hot Chocolate. Hmm. How bad do you think the coffee will be?”
“Dreadful.” I join her at the vending machine, fishing some money out of my wallet. “I’m going to drink some anyway. What do you want?”
“I’ll stick to the cocoa, thanks.”
I get her drink, and then mine. We settle in the uncomfortable plastic chairs in a corner of the waiting room.
And we wait.
