The reason Dominick had left so early that morning was a call from the mountain sanatorium. Paul's condition had taken a turn for the worse.

On the drive back, Dominick's silence filled the car with a heavy tension that no one dared break. "Dom..." Marissa glanced at him with gentle concern. "Don't worry, okay?
