СКАЧАТЬ headed into the bathroom to wash up and use the facilities. Just as he opened the bathroom door, he heard Melissa talking.

      He frowned, realizing she must be on the motel phone, since she’d tossed hers out the window.

      He strode into the room to find her sitting on the end of the bed, holding the receiver to her ear. “When did he die?” she asked.

      He realized that she must be talking with the hospital. He crossed over and sat down beside her.

      “Okay, thanks for letting me know,” she said. She disconnected from the call and glanced up at him, her eyes filling with tears.

      “I just wanted to check on my dad’s condition. He passed away about an hour ago,” she said in a low voice.

      “I’m so sorry for your loss,” he said, wrapping his arm around her slim shoulders.

      She nodded and buried her face in her hands, her shoulders shaking with suppressed sobs.

      He gathered her into his arms, feeling helpless to do anything but hold her in an attempt to offer comfort. Nate knew that even though Melissa and her father hadn’t seen each other in person for the past twelve years, they’d remained close. After all, she’d mentioned that her father’s dying wish was to see his granddaughter.

      “He was a good man,” she whispered.

      “I know,” he agreed.

      Melissa surprised him by wrapping her arms around his waist and pressing her face into the hollow of his shoulder. Thankfully Hailey seemed to be preoccupied with her television show, despite her earlier complaints about being hungry.

      Nate ran his hand down Melissa’s back, trying to think of something to say. “Is there anything I can do to help? What about funeral arrangements?”

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
