Emergency Quote by R.C. Ryan
““Emergency One.What's the problem?" "It's my heart." The familiar deep voice had her pausing mid-stride. "Wyatt?" "Yeah.I meant to ask you to call me when you got home so I'd know you were safe. Now I've been having heart palpitations worrying about you all alone on that long stretch of highway." "Pretty good timing,rebel.That highway is just a memory now.I'm already inside my apartment and heading toward the bedroom." "I'm betting you set a new speed record." She laughed. "And broke a few speeding laws along the way.But I'm home now,safe and sound. I hope this eases your worries about me." "Yeah.I can sleep now.But I still wish you'd agreed to bunk out here with me. Good night,Marilee.””
