Chapter 33: Unconscious Luke

Hallie kept looking up at the clock in the hospital waiting room, as if watching it was going to make time go by any faster. But she didn’t know what else to do. She couldn’t focus on anything.

Luke had been taken by helicopter to a hospital in Austin. He was still unconscious, as far as she knew.

She thought of the last few days they spent together working at the ranch, eating donuts, and having a laugh as they teased each other. He wasn’t such a bad guy after all.

Her sweaty hand clutched a blue pen. She was supposed to fill out a form with Luke’s information for the hospital, but so far all she had written was his name.

The last person she expected to see walked through the doorway. Normally, she couldn’t imagine Terry coming all the way to the city just to visit her, but these weren’t normal times.
