I frowned at her performance. “Michael, take Laurel to the hospital.”

He extended his hand to Laurel. “Miss Rose, shall we go?”

Laurel glared at him with hatred, ignoring his outstretched hand.

She turned to me. “And you don’t pretend to care about Audrey now. You deleted her from your life. Stop acting concerned. Take your precious Miss Rose and get out. You’re bringing bad luck!”

“Blake darling…” Laurel’s eyes filled with fresh tears. “Wait for me…”

I ignored her and walked toward the river. My mind focused on Audrey.

She grew up by the ocean. She’s an excellent swimmer. This thought gave me hope. When we had that accident near water, she pulled me out and cared for me all night. Now it’s my turn to find her.
