One Hour Too Late: The Heart He Broke Forever

Summary

I made Keir Sterling angry.

No matter how I tried to make it up to him, he wouldn't budge.

Even when I told him I wasn't feeling well, he didn't panic the way he used to.

I got off the Amtrak train and called him.

"Keir, I’m in San Francisco for my heart appointment. Can you take me to the hospital?"

Keir’s voice was sharp over the line.

"Your heart was fixed years ago. Stop playing the victim, Leo. It’s pathetic."

A dull ache throbbed in my chest.

"It’s just a follow-up," I whispered.

He let out a cold, mocking laugh.

"Fine. Then stay there and wait."
