บท 43: Fleeting (Epilogue)

BRIELLE 

My phone rang again just as Dylan and I were getting ready to head over to tell Shawn the good news. 

It was Silvie. 

I knew she was definitely calling to ask about Shawn… she had seen the frantic way I had exited our apartment, and I knew she was undeniably worried as well. 

"Hey." 

"Lucia, how's Shawn?" 

"He's not good, Syl. He's in very critical condition and the doctors don't think he's going to make it." I told her. 

"Oh Lucia, I'm so sorry to hear that." 

"Yeah, we all are." I admitted sadly. "But there's good news too." I told her, my voice lightening up a little at the change. "Savannah just gave birth. She's healthy, and so are the babies." I said. 

"Oh my God, that's excellent news!!! I'll be at the hospital as soon as I can." 

"Sure, sure." I answered. 

"I guess it's safe to say you haven't heard the news then?" I raised an eyebrow in puzzlement. "News? What news?"
