As You Wish
“Katie said she didn’t know much more than the half dozen words she had already offered them. She had been driving back to school from the nursery where she had gone to buy some fertilizer for her herbs.

“Was he moving?” Christy’s fingers gouged into the passenger’s seat.
“I couldn’t tell. I just saw someone with blond hair being rolled on the gurney into the ambulance.” Katie started to cry. “I’m going right to the hospital.”
