White Hot: A Patrick & Steeves Suspense (16 page)

“He wants to be sure you’re okay. He brought flowers.” He dug in a wardrobe and tossed her a faded t-shirt. “You can put this on, it’ll be softer than the hospital gown.”

“He said he’d only stay a minute,” Dal said, pulling away. “I’ll bring him up, okay?”

He backed away from her, his eyes fixed on hers, a large grin on his face. “I’ll bring him up?” he asked again.

She shrugged, palms in the air. “Why not?”
