ZOE’S POV
“Austin” I said catching his attention.
Owen and I had been invited to meet with a group of local business owners last minute. I wasn’t expecting to see Austin here of all places.
He was standing at the back of the room his face looked worn and his eyes darker beneath. It was more than just tiredness. It was something deeper.
The meeting had just ended and I walked straight to him.
He looked back when he heard me call his name and his eyes met mine. “Chloe” he said with a nod and his voice weary.
“How is Zoe?” I asked, already bracing myself.
“She’s… recovering” he replied hands tucked into his pockets. “Still unconscious but stable now. Out of danger. The doctor said we made the right call. They had to terminate the pregnancy immediately to save her.”
My breath caught.
