“How're you feeling? Are you cold? Do you need another blanket?” He examines her face to search for any facial expression. “I'm fine. I feel much better now that you're here.” She leans her head against his shoulder, closing her eyes and taking a shaky breath.?
“I just keep thinking... if we’d drafted further into the other lane... if we’d been driving any faster. Ethan, I was so scared. I don't remember much, but I know I called for you...” Her words stabbed him right in his chest. How could he not be there for her? “I'm sorry I wasn't there to answer.” He grips around her tightens. “I couldn’t think about anything else until I saw you were okay with my own eyes.” He lifts her knuckles to his lips and gives them a kiss.?
