Chapter 23

Abby counted down the hours until her shift was over. She had to talk to Luka. His near death experience only confirmed how strong her feelings were for him. She remembered what Haleh had said about how she knew her husband was the one for her. Abby couldn’t imagine her life without Luka in it.

Haleh walked up and handed her a cup of coffee. "Look, it is none of my business, but I have been watching you over the past month and you just haven’t seemed like yourself. What is going on child?"

Abby sighed. "I’m in love with the wrong man."

"Nonsense! I told you, I believe the heart knows who it belongs with it is just up to you to listen to it. I believe Richard Bach said it best when he said, ‘Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life’." Haleh said. "Question is who makes your life come to life?"

Abby knew the answer without thinking about it. From the moment she met him she has felt more alive and more like herself. But she also didn’t want to hurt Carter. Despite it all, he was a good man who truly loved her. She looked at her watch, 3:00 pm. Haleh watched her as she ran for the elevator. She had to go talk to Luka. She pushed the button but grew impatient and took off for the stairs. She ran all the way up to the third floor to the ICU. She ran into the room but he was gone.

"He was doing better so they moved him to his own room," the nurse said.

"Which room?" Abby asked.

"I am sorry Dr. Lockhart, he has asked us to prohibit you from seeing him," the nurse said.

"What?!" Abby couldn’t believe it.

"I’m sorry. I have to respect the patient’s wishes." She walked away.

Abby felt like a ton of bricks had just landed on her. She loved him and he wanted nothing to do with her. It was as if her whole world had just crashed around her. She had to get far away from this hospital as quickly as she could.

Chapter 24

Abby sat in the lounge trying to sort through her life. After the Luka incident, she decided she would take two days off work because her emotional state interfered with her ability to properly care for her patients. She was not fully over it, but she no longer let it consume her, and Luka being discharged that morning helped.

"Hey, babe, are you okay?" Carter asked as he entered the lounge.

"We need to talk," she said seriously.

"I don’t like the sound of that. I think I better sit down." He pulled a chair next to her and sat down.

"I’m sorry." She started.

He put his hand up to stop her. "Ab’s, I know what you are going to say, and I just don’t think I can stand to hear it right now. So I will save you the trouble. I don’t think we should get married. I tried to convince myself that I was the one you wanted but I know every time we are together you are wishing you were with someone else."

"I wanted to love you. I really did," she cried.

He held her hand in both of his. "I know. But you can’t force yourself to love someone. It is either there or it isn’t. I love you
Abby, and that is why I am letting you go. All I want for you to be happy."

"You are an amazing person, Carter, and any woman would be lucky to have you as a husband."

"Yeah, well, knowing that doesn’t make it hurt any less."

She kissed him on the cheek and hugged him. She gave him back his ring and gave him one last hug.

"Abby, wait." He walked to his locker and pulled out a piece of paper. "I found this in your truck." It was the letter from Luka. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have took it," he said as she read it. "I hope you can forgive me."

She touched his arm lightly. "It's okay. I probably would have done the same thing."

Chapter 25

She laughed to herself. It was funny how things had turned out. She went from an overcomplicated life with two guys to being all alone, but her life was far from simple. She was in love with Luka and vowed she would do whatever it took to get him back.

Abby spent the next few weeks trying to get a hold of Luka. She called him, went by his work, and to his ranch, but each time there was no results. She got dressed for Jake’s bachelor party and hoped that Luka would be there.

She arrived at the club around 7 o’clock. She found Jake and the boys in the back corner toasting Jake’s last night of freedom. She looked around. There was no sign of Luka. "Hey," she said giving Jake a hug before sitting down. "Are you ready for the big day?"

"Yes, I can’t wait." He noticed her occasional glance at the door. "He’s not coming, Ab’s. He’s with his family."

She forced a smile. This was Jake’s night so she couldn’t let him know she was not happy to be there. The guys forced drink after drink down him and before long he was incredibly tipsy. Abby had to cut them off. She had one of the soberer guys help her get him out to her truck.

"I love Sharon," he repeated over and over on the ride to Abby’s apartment. She pulled into the parking garage and walked around to help him out. "I love you too Ab’s," he said putting his arm around her shoulder. "You are my best friend."

"I know honey. I love you too." She struggled to get him upstairs to her apartment.

"Let’s go swimming," he said as they passed the pool. He tried to open the gate but it was locked.

"The pool is closed. Let’s go upstairs and get you ready for bed." After a few distractions, she finally got him to the apartment. She unlocked the door and helped him inside. She led him to the couch where he fell down. Within seconds, he was out cold. She covered him up and headed off to bed herself.
