“Simon didn’t show up for his last appointment with me. He never got his injection.”
“He decided to make a clean break. He shrugged off the seizures even though I tried to warn him.” He dropped his head in his hands, digging his fingers into his scalp. What would they tell Simon’s fiancée?
The bed sank beside him, and he turned his head as Ava touched his back.
“You had to shoot Simon. He would’ve killed you. He would’ve killed me.” The pressure of her hand between his shoulder blades increased. “Now, since you saved my life—twice—I’m going to save yours.”
He wanted to believe her. He wanted to stretch out on the bed next to Ava and feel her soft touch on his forehead again.
“And how to you propose to do that, Dr. Whitman?”
Her hand dropped from his back. “Don’t call me that. I told you, I never finished. I don’t deserve the title.”
“Ava.”
“We’re going to find that antidote or a million blue pills to get you through this.” She yawned and covered her mouth with the back of her hand. “But first I’m going to sleep away the rest of what’s left of this evening.”
“And your family? I thought I was taking you to the airport tomorrow so you could fly out to be with your family.”
“My family.” She launched from his bed to hers, peeled back the covers and slipped beneath them. “I have no family.”
