I heard my name, but it seemed so far away… “Meagan?” Someone had a hold of my hand and squeezed. Finally, I blinked and found myself staring up at Parker. A sob behind him made me whip my gaze to one side. My mother? “Oh my God. Meagan. Are you okay?” She leaned over Parker and then cupped my face. I twisted my head around in both directions. I was in my parents’ living room on the couch. The sun was streaming in from the front picture window. Several people were milling about. I pushed myself to sitting with Parker’s help. “I’m fine. Did I faint?” “Yes.” Parker spun to sit beside me, not releasing my hand. My mother faced me, leaning over to give me a hug. “I was so scared.” My father set a hand on my shoulder from her side. “We both were. Thank God it’s over.” “How did you two get here so fast?”
