Stealing Away

Valerie’s POV

The urgency in Bryce’s voice made my adrenaline spike, eliminating any lingering remnants of sleep from within me.

Bryce turned, switching off the heart monitor as I pulled the sensors from my chest. At the same time, I carefully removed the IV line from my arm.

Stepping out of bed, Bryce held out his hand for me to take. Quickly, I put my hand in his, trusting Bryce with my life.
