“Love you, too.”
She waited a few minutes so she didn’t sound like she was crying. She took out the cell phone Mayor Keller had given her and hit the speed dial.
Derek answered on the first ring. “Hanna?”
“Yeah, it’s me.”
“For crying out loud, Hanna. You had Kyro and I worried. You ran off before I could explain.”
“I know. I’m sorry.” It melted her heart that they worried about her, even with the way she reacted.
“You’re sorry? Baby, I’m the one who should be apologizing. I want nothing to do with that woman who kissed me. Constance and her sister are both deluded. There’s only you, Hanna.”
She smiled into the phone. “I think part of me knew that. I just didn’t know how to handle seeing her kiss you.”
“We’ll figure everything out together. Just be safe. People are still fighting here, so it may be best if you go home. The last thing we want is something to happen to you. Kyro and I would have to kill all our customers.”
“That reminds me. I think someone cast a spell on your place. That may be why everyone started acting crazy.”
“A spell? I guess that explains the irrational behavior, but why would someone—”
Hanna heard tires squealing before she saw the car crash into her. It knocked her Jeep over in the ditch.
“Hanna? Hanna?!”
“Derek, I’ve been hit.” Hanna tasted blood in her mouth and her vision was giving out on her. Her side ached and the seatbelt dug into her.
“Hold on, baby. We’re coming. You hear me, Hanna? We’re coming.”
Derek’s voice was the last thing she heard before darkness enveloped her.
