BREAKING NEWS: Asher Donovan rushed to the hospital after a car crash in north London.

..

THE SIGHT of Asher sitting, alive and whole, less than five feet away. Tears stung the backs of my eyes.

"Hi, darling." His mouth tipped up at the corner." I wish you would've called and told me you were coming first. I'm not looking my best at the moment."

The tears spilled down my cheeks as I choked out a noise of half anger, half amusement. "Asher Donovan, now is not the time to make jokes."

His face softened. "I know. I'm sorry." He opened his arms. "Come here."

He didn't have to ask twice. I was by his side in an instant, my face pressed into his neck while he held me tight. Sobs wracked my body as the tears fell in a constant rain.
