Sasha had just been sitting on the garden steps for a while, and her legs had gone completely numb. So when she was suddenly yanked up, her legs gave way, and she tumbled right into Chase's arms.
By sheer bad luck, Sasha's lips collided with Chase's enticing collarbone. It hurt so much that tears instantly sprang to her eyes. "Why are you pulling me around? Don't you know I'm skipping dinner to lose weight?" Sasha glared at him, her eyes round and slightly reddened.
Her lip was cut, and a tiny bead of blood surfaced on her tender lip.
Chase didn't get mad at her outburst. Instead, he pulled out a tissue from his pocket and gently dabbed it on her lip, his tone much more serious than before. "So you're fasting, big deal. Why the temper? What have I done lately to tick you off so much that you'd kick me out of your place like that?"
Sasha snatched the tissue from him and shot him a lethal glare. "I just can't stand the sight of you, okay?" She spat out before turning on her heel and storming off.
Chase was left standing in the chaos of the wind. Sasha was so stubborn; who in the world would dare to marry her?
Just then, his phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, Chase furrowed his brow and hesitated before answering. Before he could speak, an urgent voice came through, "Chase, Grandpa Wilson took a fall. We're on the way to the ER. You need to come."
Chase immediately asked, "What's the situation?"
"He's conscious, but his blood pressure is up, and it looks like his arm is bruised. Plus, he's got a heart condition."
"Okay, I got it. I'm on my way."
After hanging up, he hurried after Sasha. "Sasha, aren't you guys shooting an ER scene tonight? Perfect timing—we've got a real patient for you."
Sasha's previously sullen face brightened at that, and she quickly dialed the director to give them a heads-up. Minutes later, the patient was brought to the ER doors.
