When Swans Dance EBook

A few hours later, Rose was standing at the nurses’ station, reviewing a patient’s chart, when Rebecca appeared beside her. Her coworker’s face was pale, and she breathed heavily as she braced a hand against the desk.
“Have you heard?”
Rose raised an eyebrow. “Heard what?”
“There’s been an accident. You need to go to the ICU.”
“What? Why?” Rose shook her head. “Nobody told me I was being pulled.”
“You’re not,” Rebecca said, leading Rose toward the elevators. “But you need to get up there. They’ll explain when you arrive.” She gave Rose’s hand a squeeze before hurrying away.
Bewildered, Rose pressed the button, and the elevator doors opened. She stepped inside, chose the ICU floor, and waited, working to swallow her irritation. What the heck is going on? And why wouldn’t Rebecca just tell me? Worry gnawed at her during the ride up.
The ICU ward was complete chaos as she stepped into the hall. She double-checked that she hadn’t accidentally gone to the ER. Nope, this is the right floor. Rushing to the nurses’ station, she halted when a familiar head of dirty-blond hair rounded the corner on a gurney.
“Steven?” She ran after him only to have someone grab her arm and spin her around.
“Rose, I—”
“Let go of me.” She tried to shake free as she met the gaze of whoever had had the audacity to stop her. But Dr. Myers held firm, his blue eyes filled with concern and his expression grim.
“Come with me,” he said and half dragged her to an empty office.
Once they were inside, he released her, and she staggered across the room to the desk. She whirled around, ready to march right back out that door, but Dr. Myers blocked her path.
“There’s nothing you can do for him right now,” he said. “They’re in the process of determining the damage and hooking up his IV to start administering medication. I only have a moment.”
Her legs gave out, and she sank into the nearest chair. “Oh God. What happened?”
“He was in a car accident, but we think he had a medical emergency that led to the crash.” Dr. Myers glanced at her as if assessing how much to say. “Possibly a heart attack, but I’ll know more once I get in there and run some tests. You stay here, and I’ll get someone to sit with you.”
Like hell. “Need I remind you, Doctor, I’m an RN? I’m coming with you.”
“And need I remind you, Rose, we have a strict policy that prohibits hospital staff from treating family members?” Her five-foot-four stature was no match for Dr. Myers’s six-foot frame when he put a firm hand on her shoulder and pushed her back into the chair. “I’ll send word as soon as I can.”
Without waiting for her response, he spun on his heel and was gone. Rose put her head in her hands. A heart attack? How? Why? Steven was twenty-nine years old and one of the healthiest people she knew. She’d joked he was going to work himself into an early grave, but she’d never expected that.
