“Can I get you a cuppa, darling?” Maisie asked.
I shook my head, tucking my feet under my bottom as I pulled a blanket further around me.
“Are you sure you don’t want to go to bed? They won’t be home for hours.”
“I won’t be able to sleep until he’s home safe,” I said.
“These things can take—”
Before she could finish her sentence, we heard the beep of the alarm, and I threw off my blanket and made a mad dash for the door. Maisie was on my heels as I practically slammed against Gio.
“Hey,” he said, wrapping his arms around me. “Why aren’t you asleep?”
I glared up at him. “Are you being serious?”
Maisie slid into Hatch’s embrace, and he held her with one arm as he reset the alarm.
“Why do you have blood on you?” Maisie snapped, running her hands over Hatch.
“Oh my god!” I squeaked, noticing Gio did too. “Where are you bleeding?”
“It’s not ours,” he said.
“Whose blood is it?” Maisie demanded.
“Cash’s.”
Maisie gasped. “What? What do mean? Is he okay?”
“Yeah, Sunshine. He’s with Gina and Katie right now getting sewn up.”
“He called Teagan on the way, so she’s with him.”
“Who’s Teagan?” I asked.
“His wife,” Gio said.
“I need to call Dani,” Maisie said.
I glanced up at Gio and he smiled. “Cash’s mom.”
“Ah.”
“Are either of you hungry?” Maisie asked.
“Starving,” Hatch said.
“Let’s get you fed, then you can all sleep,” she said.
I’d never seen two men eat so fast in my life... or try to force feed me.
“I can’t,” I said, pushing my plate away. “I’ll throw up.”
“Baby, you barely ate.”
“Yeah, well, she’s had about three hundred calories the entire time you’ve been gone,” Maisie tattled. “Her stomach’s probably shrunk.”
“Maisie!” I admonished.
