“I can still hear the gunshots,” she said.

Yeah, so could he. He didn’t want to tell her that she would hear them for the rest of her life. But she would. So would he. And he would remember that look of terror on her face.

There wasn’t really a way to comfort her right now so Drury just slipped his arm around her and hoped that helped. It seemed to do that. For a couple of long moments anyway. Until she lifted her head, and her eyes met his.

Any chance of comforting her vanished. A lot of things vanished. Like common sense, because just like that, Drury felt the old attraction.

“I don’t know how to stop this,” she said. Her voice was a whisper, filled with her thin breath.

She wasn’t talking about the danger now.

It would have been safer if she had been.

Before he could talk himself out of it or remember this was something he shouldn’t be doing, Drury lowered his head and kissed her.
