She giggles. "You sure?"

"Positive. If I could drive down to you instead, I would."

"You’d leave the resort for me?" she asks. Her voice is full of vulnerability but also teasing. I missed it. So damn much some of the pain comes back. This time in my heart. I lay my head back on the hospital pillow and hold my sister’s phone to my ear with my right arm, the one not injured. As soon as I grabbed the phone from her, Ethan led her out of the room. She also fought him a bit because she’s nosey and worried about me.

"Yeah, sweetheart. I’d come to Tennessee for you. I need you."

She sucks in a breath and I wonder if she’s biting her lower lip or fidgeting the way she does so often when she’s nervous or worried about something.
