When she managed to calm down, Breanna asked what had happened.

“I’ll give you a rundown as I change,” Zen told her, glancing at Teri—an indication he didn’t want her to hear all of the details. “But I gotta go over to the hospital. Mark’s there.”

Zen glanced at Teri again.

“I gotta go. Help me change, OK?”

Breanna suppressed a shudder, then followed her husband into the house.
