Chapter 16: The Same Hallway

Damon was already out of bed and pulling on a shirt.

He had his phone at his ear before I'd hung up on Bea.

"How bad?" he said to someone. Then, "Who called the press?"

He listened.

He looked at me across the dark bedroom.

"Her mother," he said. "Before the ambulance."

I got up and found my dress on the floor.

He stopped with one button done.

"You don't have to come."

"Last time you went there alone," I said. "Look how that turned out."

He looked at me for a long second.

Then he held out his hand.

The private hospital on the quiet street in Beverly Hills was lit up at six in the morning.

There were twice as many photographers as the first time.

News vans. A man on a ladder with a lens.

Damon's driver stopped right at the front doors.

"I can take you through the garage," the driver said into the mirror.

Damon and I both said "No" at the same time.

He got out first and came around and opened my door.

Then he took my hand, laced his fingers through mine, and walked me up the front steps into all of them.

The noise hit.

"Damon! Did you drive her to it?"
