The sight that met her eyes stole her breath away. A dagger was buried deep in his chest. Blood had already
soaked through his shirt.
In the split second their eyes locked, his body swayed, and then he collapsed, crumpling to the floor like a
puppet with its strings cut.
“Collin!” Linsey rushed to him, her hands trembling, tears spilling uncontrollably. “Don’t scarelike this... I'm
not strong enough. I'm calling an ambulance—please hold on.”
She fumbled for her phone, her hands shaking as she dialed.
Once the call ended, she gently cradled him in her arms, tears streaming down her face. “Why did you do
something so stupid?” she whispered brokenly. “Why would you risk your life for me?”
A weak smile tugged at Collin’s lips. He reached up, brushing away her tears. “Don’t cry. I'm not dead yet.”

That promise seemed to rekindle a flicker of life in him.
With great effort, he kept his eyes open. “Then promise... promise you won't leave me. That we'll stay together...
happily... for the rest of our lives.”

“I promise!” Linsey cried, nodding frantically.
Collin’s lips curled into a faint grin. “Let's have a child.”
Linsey’s tears fell even harder. “Okay. One. Two. However many you want— we'll have a whole football team. Just
stay with me.”
Moments later, the medics burst into the store, followed closely by the police.
Later, at the hospital...
After hours of tense, grueling surgery, Collin finally pulled through.
Linsey stayed by his side all night, refusing to leave for even a moment.
