Even though the pain felt like a thorn driven deep into his chest, twisting and tearing every time it shifted, he did not waver.

“I will pay any price. I will make it happen.
A fierce light burned in Russell’s eyes.
His mind was set.
It was the same vow he had spoken years ago, before Blair’s parents, before Blair herself, and before the church altar.
For the rest of his life, he would give her happiness.
If she wanted the stars or the moon, he would climb into a rocket and bring them back for her.
Russell stepped out of the ICU.
Dominic and the others saw him leave and hurried over.
“Dad, did Mom wake up? Did she move?” Dominic asked quickly.
“You stay here with her. I have something important that I must take care of,” Russell said. His face was grave, his voice leaving no room for questions. He turned and strode away.

“He said he has something urgent that he has to take care of, Dominic replied.
Wade looked toward the direction their father had gone, worry flashing across his face. “You guys finish your breakfast. Stay with Mom. I’ll follow him. I think Dad is hiding something from us, and I’m worried, Wade said.
Russell would never walk away from Blair unless it was something urgent enough to risk everything. Wade knew that much.
“Alright, I’m counting on you, Wade. But be careful. Don’t let Dad notice you. If he does, he’ll send you right back,” Dominic warned.
“With you watching him, we’ll feel better.”
