Does the Feeling Go Both Ways?

A woman came out of the exam room. ??I??m Dr. Collingsworth. You??re Ms. Titus?? brother???


??Yes,?? said Trey. ??How bad is it??? He tried to steel himself for bad news.


??There are no fractures, even though the bruises are pretty nasty. The baby??s heartbeat is nice and strong. We??re going to check the placenta and make sure there??s no bleeding. If there isn??t, we??ll let her go tonight. Does she have a safe place to stay???


??She??ll be staying with me,?? said Trey.


It was pushing midnight by the time Trey, Landon, and Karen got back to the house. Trey shepherded Karen off to sleep in his own bed while he and Landon sat on the sofa.


??I want to thank you for being the calm and rational one in all this,?? said Trey.


Landon took a breath before he answered. ??I??ve had some experience.??
