Excerpt:
He’d practically
killed himself getting to the hospital.
When Ethan got
the call saying Elaine had collapsed at work, he panicked and dropped
everything to get to her side. He still had not been allowed to see her, as she
was still undergoing tests, so he waited in the private room he had made sure
their health insurance covered.
A moment later,
his pacing was interrupted when the door pushed open and Elaine was wheeled in
on a gurney. Assistants helped her into bed then the nurse made her
comfortable, all the while his heart pumped hard in his chest, stealing his
breath. Elaine looked pale and groggy. He wondered if she even knew he was in
the room.
Then he was alone
with his wife. She lay so still. The rise under the covers told him she had not
lost their baby, but his chest tightened anyway, fear pumping acid-like blood
though his body at a fierce rate.
“Are you going to
stand there all day?” Her voice was thready, her eyes just barely open. She
tried lifting her hand off the bed to beckon him over but only managed a
finger.
MY REVIEW:
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is a short story and took about 30 minutes to read but it is packed with a lot of emotions. By the time I had finished this story my face was soaking wet from tears.
Elaine and Ethan are newlyweds and very much in love. Elaine soon finds out she is pregnant but afraid to tell Ethan because they wanted to wait. But he is so excited. Then one day something happens and they receive really bad news. This story had me hooked from the very beginning and I had no idea how it would end. Thanks toGoddess Fish Promotions and the author for the ARC.
