My eyes welled with tears and the damn thing fell uncontrollably. Enzo, I know you’re just sleeping. It’s time to wake up.
Hesitantly, I brushed a stray strand of hair from his forehead and the extremely cool feel of his skin sent a fresh wave of grief crashing over me. This wasn’t supposed to be the end. No! NO! He was supposed to have birthday candles to blow out, graduations to walk, and grandchildren for me to spoil.
Enzo Please!
Why are you lying in the mortuary of a hospital? Please, baby, wake up. I threw my arms around his lifeless body as the sobs began hitting me in the center of my chest, making me tremble, unable to breathe. Unable to think. No. No!
Suddenly, I was yanked back, a scene exploding behind my burning lids.
One Hour Ago…
Sunlight streamed through the car window, warming my face. Enzo, my precious Enzo bounced happily in the backseat when a ringing phone broke the silence in the car.
I cut a look at Jaxon who was carefully navigating the traffic on the highway and found him taking one hand away from the steering wheel to glance at his phone.
