Her hopes were dashed when she spotted him pacing on the front porch, his cell phone glued to his ear.
He saw her then and snapped his phone shut. He had started toward her as she got out of the car, and she quavered a bit at the thunderous expression on his face.
“Sara, where have you been? I’ve been worried sick about you. I’ve been calling your cell phone all day.”
“I can’t keep it turned on inside the hospital,” she reminded him.
He stopped inches from her and placed his fists on his lean hips. “You couldn’t check your messages every once in a while?”
“Sorry. I guess I was pretty focused on taking care of Miss Greer.” Yeah, right. She was such a saint. She’d deliberately left her phone off because she knew Reece would be frantic about his car.
“So what happened to the car?” he asked, finally taking his laserlike gaze off her and aiming it at the Mercedes.
“I had a—” she swallowed, her mouth feeling as if it was full of shredded wheat “—a small accident.”
“Accident?”
“Just a small one.”
Reece eyed the car from bumper to bumper and, apparently seeing no damage, walked around to the other side.
Sara knew the moment he saw the crunched-in door. She longed to flee to the safety of her room, where she wouldn’t have to endure his anger. But one thing her parents had taught her—and that had sunk in—was that she had to take responsibility for her actions.
“How did this happen?”
“Someone backed into me in the parking lot.”
A muscle twitched in his jaw. “So it wasn’t your fault?”
She shook her head. “The guy apologized all over the place.”
“You have a police report?”
Again she shook her head. “We exchanged information.” She reached into her bag and pulled out a rumpled piece of paper onto which she’d written the man’s name, phone number and driver’s license number.
