138 Hospital and Things

Lucian

I told Austin to take Tina in for a full medical check-up. After what happened to Tiffany, I wasn’t taking any more chances. I didn’t care how manipulative Tina had been-I wanted her alive to care for her child and eventually go back to Joey. I wasn’t going to have another woman fall apart on my watch.

That week, I worked from home and helped Mara with Darian’s newborn. He stayed at the hospital, refusing to leave Tiffany’s side. He hadn’t even named his daughter yet-said Tiffany would name her when she woke up. If she woke up.

He looked rough. His beard had grown out in the space of a week, a far cry from the clean-shaven man we all knew.

Honestly, he looked more like me now.

But Tiffany hadn’t improved. No movement. No response. Just silence and machines.
