Excerpt from Chapter 1:
When the technicians were ready,
I stepped out of the room after one final glance at the monitor to confirm that
he was still stable. Outside the room, the team huddled, waiting to be let back
in to prepare for the next step.
I glanced at the assistant who was
talking to John Pointer, one of Celebration Township’s police officers, “Is
someone trying to notify the family?” she asked him.
“His license said he is from Bryn
Mawr, which I think is down by Philadelphia. Thad is trying to contact someone
down there to try and make a notification.”
“Officer Pointer,” he nodded as I
approached him and asked, “What is the patient’s name?”
John glanced at the small notepad he
held in his hand, “Ian Dugan, age thirty-one.”
All eyes landed on me as the gasp
left my lips. “Ian Dugan? Is his birthday April twenty-fifth?”
“Yeah? Why? You know him?” John
queried back.
I glanced back at the door, “Yeah, I
know him.”
“Damn, sorry about that, Linda. How
long has it been since you’ve seen him?” Jason asked from beside me.
Memories of my sophomore year of
high school flashed to the front of my mind like a strobe light. Ian’s light
green eyes and boyish smile as he grinned down at me when I said I’d go to his
junior prom with him filled my mind.
I’d been enthralled with his eyes,
with the smile that could light up a room along with the deep voice that
commanded attention, even at that young age.
“I haven’t seen him since I was
sixteen, no one around here has.”
I stared at the door as the voices
around me faded. Ian Dugan was the man I had fallen head over heels in love
with in high school, the one I had lost my virginity to on his prom night. He
was also the one who disappeared out of my life two days later. He not only
vanished from my life, but from our school and our town as well. Shortly after
he had left, I had resolved to never fall in love again.
