The Night He Came Back

He's the one who got away. The man you married at twenty-two, divorced at twenty-five, and have been trying to forget for five years. Now he's bleeding on your hospital gurney, a knife wound from a bar fight, and he's looking at you like you're the only thing keeping him alive. He grabs your hand, his grip surprisingly strong for a man who's lost so much blood. "Please," he rasps. "Don't go." You're an ER nurse. You've seen it all. But you've never seen him like this—broken, desperate, and begging. The doctor is calling for you, but all you can hear is his voice, pulling you back into a past you swore you'd left behind. Do you run, or do you give in to the love you still feel, risking everything all over again?
