and he leans closer to me.
    “How do you know it was Ava?”
    “Aiden told me.”
    “How does he know?”
    “I guess he saw it too.” I never asked him how he knew.
    “I’m sorry, Hannah. What a fucking asshole.” He frowns over at Grant and leans back in his seat.
    “This is why I have been team Aiden. He wouldn’t fuck with your heart.”
    “He fucked my best friend.” I lean back too.
    “What?” I surprised him again.
    “Rebecca Shultz, he closed the deal on the merger and the deal with her.”
    “I’m really in the dark about what they do.” He is shaking his head as he takes in all the information I just gave him.
    “Well, Aiden wasn’t with you when he slept with her. He didn’t cheat on you.”
    “So I take it you’re the glass half full kind of guy.” I grin at him and he grins back.
    “I’ll always be team Aiden.”
    We begin to stare at the door till a doctor comes out. When he does we jump up and rush over. When I am standing in front of the doctor he is telling them that she was in cardiac arrest, but it was the shockable kind. They are going to run tests once she is more stable. He nods politely and walks away and I feel as lost as them.
    “So who wants to do the first shift?” Grant looks around and I look away when he looks at me.
    “I’ll stay.” John steps towards Grant.
    “I’ll come next, what time do you want me to come back?” Shane looks like he didn’t want to leave, but there was no point in all of us staying.
    “Come back at seven. I’ll do overnight.” He glances over at Aiden.
    “I’ll wait with you,” Aiden says. I nod my head in agreement. I don’t want to leave until I know what is going on.
    “Hannah I’ll take you back to Aiden’s,” Grant says looking intently at me. How did I know he would try to get me alone?
    “I’m staying. I want to know what’s going on with her.” He slips his hands in his pocket and I can see his jaw clench.
    “I’ll get everyone coffee. Will you come with me?” Keeping my eyes fixed on the ground, Aiden leans into me.
    “Go get it over with.” Looking into his cloudy eyes makes me want to kiss him in front of all of them just to give Grant the big fuck you, but it would be wrong if I did. All three of us are in this cluster fuck together.
    “Fine.” Aiden holds out his ticket and I take it before Grant can.
    I start to speed walk out the doors with Grant on my heels. I don’t want him to walk next to me because I know he will touch me and I can’t have him touch me. I’m afraid I will breakdown at his touch, and I would go back to him. I ponder this and how weak of a person I have become. Pushing it all way down deep in my soul I see to the valet guy and notice he is the same from last time we were here. It feels like a lifetime ago, but in reality it was only a few weeks ago. I stand making no effort to talk to him. I see Aiden’s car coming, and as it pulls up the valet guy gets out and Grant gets right in. Annoyed I frown at Grant as he smiles at me.
    “What? I’ll drive.” Rolling my eyes I stomp around the car. I fight walking back into the hospital. I really don’t want to do this. He leans over and opens the passenger door for me and I slip in avoiding any eye contact.
    “So can you tell me what I did?” he says in a cautious manner, after we get on the main road.
    “What do you think?” Looking out the window I notice we are passing a Starbucks. Where are we going?
    “You passed a Starbucks.” I point back.
    “I know, we are going to drive around till this is fixed and you are coming home with me.” His cockiness is back and it is a major turn off.
    “There isn’t enough gas in the world, Grant.”
    “Really? So are you going to tell me? I don’t recall doing anything wrong.”
    “Oh, no? Well think about what you did, that you think I don’t know about, and that would be the thing I’m pissed about.”
    “Way to be vague.”
    “Really? This is coming from a man who answers the
