Wherever You Are

“El?”

Jarred from his thoughts, he turned to see Jess standing before him, a cup of coffee in her hand.

“You’re back?” Jess asked. “Why didn’t you come in?”

El blinked and glanced back at the door he’d been standing in front of. He hadn’t realized he’d walked to Avery’s room and not his office.

“What’s up, Jess?” He gave her a tight hug. “I would ask why you’re not asleep, but I already know why.”

Jess offered him a weak smile, but no response. El knew Jess recognized his attempt to change the subject and was grateful she hadn’t called him on it.

Looking at the petite woman in front of him, he noted that Jess looked...tired. Her once-bright eyes were dimmed, hollow. “You need to rest,” he told her.

Ducking her head, Jess ran her thumbnail over the rim of her cup. “I know.”

“You won’t be any good to her if you’re lying in a hospital bed right next to her.”
