of the room.
“I’m proud of you, bro,” Elijah spoke.
“What if she says no?”
“She won’t,” Nathan said. “When two people are meant to be together, things have a way of working themselves out. And you and Sara are meant to be together.”
“He’s right, Mason,” Elijah spoke. “Look at our family and how things worked out for me and Nathan. Aspen and Allison were put in our path for us to love them for life, and Sara is no different, and you damn well knew it when you let her move in with you.”
“Damn, bro. That was deep,” Nathan said as he placed his hand on Elijah’s shoulder.
“The jet will be waiting for you at the airport tomorrow morning at eight a.m.” my mother spoke as she walked into the room.
“Then I better go because I have some calls to make and I have to pack a bag.”
“Good luck, little brother,” Elijah said as he gave me a hug.
“Yeah. Good luck, bro. I know you’ll do good.” Nathan gave me a wink.
I stopped at the station on my way home to talk to my chief and rearrange my schedule.
“How long do you need?” he asked.
“Honestly, I don’t know. I’d say a week to be safe.”
He sat there and slowly nodded his head.
“Okay, Captain. I have approved your time off. I’ll cover the next couple shifts for you and I’ll get the rest covered. Go get Sara and bring her home.” He smiled.
“Thanks, Chief. I owe you big time.”
“You’re right. You do, and I will be calling on that favor one of these days.” He winked.
“Anytime, Chief. Anytime.” The corners of my mouth curved upward.
Chapter 39
Sara
California would be the start of a new life for me. After meeting with Dr. Grace Harper-Finn, I knew I’d made the right decision to accept the fellowship. Even though I didn’t want to leave New York, I knew I didn’t have a choice. I needed to make a fresh start, somewhere out of New York, out of that apartment and away from Mason. This was the perfect opportunity for me, and it couldn’t have come at a better time.
The next morning, I got up early and started apartment hunting before I had to be at the hospital. I found two places I liked, and both had immediate occupancy. Now, I just had to decide on which one I liked best.
I was standing in the E.R. talking to Grace and her husband, Jamieson, when I heard someone call my name. Turning around, I stood there in shock and disbelief when I saw Mason standing there. Instantly, my heart rate picked up its pace, and a sick feeling took over me.
“Mason, what are you doing here?”
“Sara, you don’t belong here. You belong back in New York with me. I love you and I want you to come home.”
It mortified me that he did that in the middle of the ER. I looked over at Grace and Jamieson as they stood there with smiles on their faces.
“That man has balls. I like him,” Jamieson spoke.
“Go on, Sara. Talk to him. It’s okay.”
“I’m so sorry. Oh, my God. I’m so sorry.”
“Don’t be. I think it’s sweet.” Grace gave me a wink.
I walked over to him, grabbed his arm and dragged him out the doors of the ER.
“Mason, for the love of God, what do you think you’re doing?”
“We need to talk, Sara. Somewhere private.”
“You could have just called me!” I spoke through gritted teeth.
“No. I didn’t want to talk over the phone.”
“So you flew all the way out here?”
“Yes, I did. I flew out here for you. Please hear me out.”
“I’m in the middle of work. Come to my hotel room around eight o’clock. I’m staying at the Sofitel Hotel, Room 240.”
“Okay. Thank you.” He placed his hand on my cheek.
I walked away as my heart pounded. I was shaking, and I needed to sit down, so I went into the doctor’s lounge and took a seat.
“I saw you walk in here, are you okay?” Grace asked.
“I don’t know.”
“Who is he?” She smiled as she sat down next to me.
I told her all about him and our friendship we had back in New York. After my shift was over, I headed to the hotel and changed my clothes before Mason arrived. My nerves were getting the best of me and I couldn’t seem to calm down, so I did a shot of whiskey before there was a knock at the door.
“Hey.” I opened the door as the sick feeling in the
