Ava: My Lucas
The hospital is a scurry of activity, more than I expected considering its small size.
Nurses and doctors rush through the long hallway, their footsteps echoing. The 'Staff Only' door behind the reception desk is in constant motion, barely staying shut for more than a few seconds at a time.
Kellan leans in close to the receptionist, speaking in hushed tones. This woman's different from the one we encountered earlier, but her demeanor towards Kellan is just as warm. A hint of a smile plays at the corners of her mouth as she nods along to whatever he's saying.
Lisa's going to be pissed, once she finds out Kellan's her mate. She's not one to share.
Hopefully she gets here soon. The need to see her is only second to my gnawing ache without Lucas by my side.
"Ava." Kellan's voice cuts through my musings. "This way."
With each step, my heart rate picks up. Finally. I can finally see my mate.
The bond within my chest sings in my veins.
