At First Sight
Page 4
Rose is huddled on the other side of the bed, her knees against her chest and her face in the carpet.
Tears are pouring down her cheeks, and mine, I realize as I gather her into my arms and rock her gently against my chest. “I’m so sorry,” I whisper. “I was supposed to keep you safe, and he got to you anyway. I never thought he would touch you.”
She doesn’t respond, and all I can do is hold her until she falls asleep. Then I grab my pillow and blanket off the bed to make her more comfortable.
My brain is strangely empty when I go to my bedside table and pull out both the black card and my cell phone. I dial the number and hit send.
It rings several times, and then a female voice says, “Hello?”
I suck in a slow inhale and blow it out soft enough it’s not heard through the line. Then I say, “I’m calling to speak to Adrian, please.”
