Natalie waited with Shane outside the emergency room.

Shane paced up and down, often glancing impatiently at the red light above the entrance to the emergency room. He’d pressed his lips together so tightly that they were barely a thin line.

Natalie bit her lip and released Shane’s hand. She walked off to the side, keeping a distance from him. Then she said dispassionately, “Mr. Shane, our relationship caused such a tremendous shock to Ms. Graham that she fainted. Perhaps it would be better for us to break it off.”

“What are you saying?” Shane asked wildly. He whirled around, looking menacingly at her.

Natalie found herself flinching in the face of Shane’s fury.
