“You do?”

He smirks, not looking up. “Henry’s a planner, you know that. Of course, he wanted all the Ts crossed and Is dotted.”

I nod because that’s so Henry, always prepared for the worst. He really needs someone in his life who can take that responsibility from him or at least share it. Maybe that person isn’t me.

Reed finishes the paperwork and hands it back to the nurse. “We’re trying to get a hold of Henry. Where are we in the care that Bodhi needs?”

“A doctor will be in to discuss it with you shortly.”

The social worker peeks at Reed over my shoulder. Oh great, she’s back. “You’re Reed Warner, District Attorney?”

“Yes.”

Her gaze goes to me. “Boy, you know a lot of people.”

“Excuse me?” Reed gives her an unimpressed look.

“Oh nothing. Just first a Falcon and now the DA.”

He doesn’t smile and doesn’t say anything back to her. “Where’s Bodhi?” he asks me, and I point at the room.

We start to walk to the room, but my phone buzzes in my hand with Henry’s name on the screen. I hold it up to show Reed.

“Are you sure? I’ll tell him,” he says.

I shake my head. “No, I’ll be right there.”

He squeezes my hand and nods, heading into Bodhi’s room.

“Hey,” I say like a fucking idiot. “I screwed up.”

“Jade, what happened?” The panic in his voice is evident.

“His arm is broken.”

“Fuck!” I hear a loud bang, and I assume he threw something.

Guilt weighs like an anchor in my stomach. I did this.

“I’m so sorry. We were playing a game. Remember the lava game and?—”

“Where are you?” I cut her off.

Somehow Reed got word to the team and told me to call Jade right away.

“We’re at Children’s, waiting to hear from the doctor.”

“Reed has permission. Fuck, I wish I was there.” I tear off my skates while the rest of the team celebrates our win.

“He’s here and filled out the paperwork. I’m really sorry, Henry.”

“Okay, I’m going to get out of here and on the plane. Just text me and keep me updated.” I hang up without saying goodbye so I can undress and get ready to go, just wanting to get the hell home to Bodhi and see with my own eyes that he’s okay.

“What happened?” Rowan asks.
