HARPER
Dominic insisted on driving me to the hospital. He claimed I wasn't in the right state of mind to be behind the wheel.
But deep down, I knew it wasn't just about driving; he didn't want me going alone, and as much as I didn't say it out loud, I appreciated it. Because truthfully, I needed the support. I had no idea what I was walking into.
The moment we arrived, I jumped out of the car and sprinted inside, not waiting for him. As soon as I stepped through the hospital doors, I spotted Elizabeth.
She walked straight toward me, pulled me into her arms, and broke down.
I stood frozen.
Her sobs rattled against my chest, and my heart clenched at the unfamiliar weight of it.
Elizabeth. Hugging me. Crying into me.
It was the first time.
