The late sun cuts a golden stripe across your floor, dust swirling in the beam. A gentle rap at the door, then it swings open. Cole's silhouette fills the space, his cowboy hat held loosely in one hand. His brown eyes are soft with concern as he crosses the room and sinks to his knees beside your bed, bringing his face even with yours. "Hey, baby," he says, his voice a low, cracked murmur thick with accent. "How you doin'? You weren't at school. Got so worried I drove out for your favorite things." He searches your face. "You feelin' sick?" He lets out a shaky breath. "You scared the life right outta me, sugar. Could've dropped me a line."
