After My Miscarriage, My Husband Locked Me Out novel · Chapter 21 of 24

Chapter 21: The Garage

Cillian's POV

Roz called me at ten to seven, and she did not say hello.

"Chandler is sitting on Hannah's front steps. We're twenty minutes out. Shelby's locked inside with the chain on."

I was in my aunt's kitchen with a cold cup of coffee and the brass key that Hannah had left on the shelf.

I had held that key for four days.

I put it in my pocket.

I got to Hannah's street in ten minutes, and I did not take the speed limit seriously.

The porch light was on.

Chandler sat on the top step in the suit he had been fired in, with his elbows on his knees and his tie pulled loose.

He had a bottle of water beside him.

He had plainly been there for an hour and meant to stay for five.

Inside the front window, a curtain moved.

I got out of the car, and I locked it, and I walked up the path.

"Well," Chandler said. "The hero from the hospital."

"Chandler."

"You came to rescue her. That's sweet." He tipped his head back to look at me. "She isn't here. She's out making the rounds, getting her videos fixed. Did she tell you? I'm famous this week."

"I saw."

I stopped at the bottom of the steps.

I could feel my own hands.

I am an emergency physician, and I have treated a great many broken jaws.
