I ran over to her. “Text Nathan.”

“Are you okay?”

“I don’t know.”

Nathan

I was in with a patient when I heard my phone ping. After finishing up, I pulled it from my pocket and saw I had a text from Alex.

“I was just at your house, and Sofia’s mother is there. Sofia wanted me to text you to let you know.”

I stared at her text with furrowed brows.

“Oh shit.”

“Bro, what’s wrong?” Jackson asked as he walked past me.

“Alex just texted me and said that Sofia’s mother is at the house.”

I responded to Alex. “Unbelievable. Thank you for telling me. I’ll text Sofia now.”

“Seriously?” Jackson asked.

“I have to text Sofia. I’ll talk to you later.” I walked away and went into my office.

“Babe, are you okay? Do you need me to come home right now?”

A few moments later, a text from her came through.

“I’m fine. I’ll see you after you pick Ella up from school.”

“Okay. Try not to kill her.”

“I can’t make any promises.”

I breathed out a laugh. My office door opened, and Conner stepped inside.

“Jackson just told me. I can’t believe she showed up.”

“I know. I can’t, either. I’m worried.”

“Then go home, bro,” Conner said.

“Sofia said she’ll see me after I pick up Ella. Is Shaun home?” I asked him.

“He told me earlier when I spoke to him that he was only working at the office a half day and then going home to work from there.”

I dialed his number.

“What’s up, cousin?” Shaun answered.

“Are you home?”

“Yeah. Why?”

“Rose is at my house right now.”
