Chapter 16 He Knows Too Much

• “Can you ask my girlfriend to come in here?” A half-smile pulls Hunter’s lips upward. It’s not true, but it feels good to say it.
• “You’ve got it, handsome.” She closes the curtain, leaving him in his cubby of isolation.
• Hunter hasn’t given Elle any reason to be nice to him, stick around here, or be concerned about whether he lives or dies. But somehow, she’s here. And according to the nurse, she cares, too. Maybe more than she should.
