Slam!
Something smashed into them! The car went spinning and flipped. She screamed. She couldn’t breathe. Pain enveloped her and she tried to open her eyes.
Ethan!
Daddy!
She had to find him.
Opening her eyes, it wasn’t Ethan she saw but Samantha.
“You bitch! This is all your fault! This is all your fault!” The other woman wrapped her hands around Cate’s neck and squeezed.
Cate choked.
“Baby, wake up! It’s a dream!”
She was shifted, shaken back and forth. “Cate!”
Samantha morphed into Kevin. “You’re a liability, Cate! You’re ruining Rhodes’ life.”
“Cate! You’re having a nightmare! Wake up! Wake up, right now, baby girl. Or Daddy will not be happy.”
Daddy!
Ethan!
Oh, she loved him. She wanted to stay with him forever. Why couldn’t she?
“Baby, please stop crying. I didn’t mean it. I didn’t mean it. Wake up, you’re killing me.”
She didn’t want to kill him. She loved Ethan.
“Wake up.”
Slowly, her eyes opened, and she stared up into Ethan’s worried face. She was on his lap. Her favorite place to be. “Daddy.”
“Fuck, my baby. Yes, it’s me. Daddy.”
“She’s awake. Thank God.”
Turning her head, she saw Rhodes standing there in just his pajama pants. “Rhoddy!”
Rhodes smiled at her. “Hey, honey. You doing okay?”
“My throat hurts.” She swallowed heavily.
“Your throat hurts?” Ethan asked urgently. “Maybe you’re getting ill. We need the first aid kit. Do you have a thermometer in it?”
“She’s probably just got a sore throat because she was yelling,” Rhodes replied.
