Sworn to Protect
“In the back of her fuzzed mind, Daisy knew her attacker must’ve hit her pretty damned hard with that beer bottle. She got that she was on the way to the hospital and there were paramedics talking to her. But not much else made sense.
Except Shane. Somehow he was there, and she’d never been more relieved to have him at her side. Even though she couldn’t process most of what he was saying, his presence was a soothing balm. He clung tight and kept saying something about never again. Whatever that ...meant.
He had to let go when they arrived, and she didn’t like that. They whisked her off to a white room that was so bright it hurt her eyes, so they turned the lights down some. Then she was transferred onto a traylike bed thing and shoved into a tube that started to whirr and make strange knocking noises. She didn’t like that either.
A CAT scan. She remembered that and shuddered, hoping she never had another one. The scanner around her head was kind of scary. When she was all done, they put her back on a rolling bed and moved her down the hallway again.MoreLess
