*Elio*
Car horns blared behind me as I anxiously tapped my fingers on the car wheel, driving faster than the speed limit through the highway as I bypassed car after car, overtaking them and doing whatever I needed to go faster.
I had no doubt pissed off a dozen people at this point, but I didn’t give a shit. Sweat dripped from my brow as my heart raced triple its usual beat and goddamn the trip was taking so much longer than normal.
During Anna’s panicked call, she had put Cat on the line for me so I could hear her voice. “We’re heading to the hospital,” Cat had said, groaning in pain over the phone. “I’m okay. Meet me there when you’re free.”
I couldn’t even remember what I had said back to her, or if I said anything but I had broken out into a cold sweat in the middle of the meeting with the company's shareholders, something that I knew was important. But how could she think I would do anything but rush after her after hearing something like that?
