She’d trusted Caleb with her life. He prayed her trust wasn’t misplaced because the coming task filled him with dread.

The suffragist from the rally appeared behind his sister. He’d lost sight of her earlier; his attention had been focused elsewhere, but she’d obviously been nearby. The older woman glanced at the bed. “Where is the surgeon? Hasn’t he arrived yet?” “I’m afraid not.” Caleb lifted a corner of the blood-soaked bandage and checked the wound before motioning for his sister. “Keep pressure on this.” He searched through his bag and began arranging his equipment on the clean towel draped over the side table. “Unless the doctor arrives in the next few minutes, I’m stitching her up myself.” He’d brought along his case because that’s the way he always packed.
