His eyes remained closed. “Jenn…”
Her heart raced. “I’m here. I’m right here, Dare.”
She couldn’t imagine being anywhere else. That should send off warning bells and flashing caution lights, but she didn’t mind.
As Jenny pushed the chair closer to the bed, she kept her gaze on Dare. They had never met, but she felt as if she knew him. His emails and texts had filled something that was missing inside her. That was why she’d kept writing back and getting excited when she heard from him.
Friendship, yes, that had been part of it, but there was more. Jenny liked the Dare she’d gotten to know from his correspondence, and she cared what happened to him. She couldn’t deny her physical attraction, either. Something that made her feel weird given he was injured and in the hospital. She shouldn’t be thinking he was hot.
Sitting, she leaned closer to the bed and released a long sigh.
“It looks like my message in the bottle did bring me my dream hero.”
Jenny didn’t know whether to laugh or cry…because she had a sinking feeling she’d have a better shot at dating Bigfoot than Dare O’Rourke.
