JESS LOOKED AT the unknown number lighting up her screen and answered.

"Hello?" She replied, putting the phone to her left ear.

"Hello, we're calling from Vancouver General hospital. You are Lee Pace's emergency contact," the woman at the other end of the line said. Jess sat up on her seat, feeling her heart hammer against her chest.

"Yes, we're engaged," she swallowed. "Is everything okay?"

"Mr. Pace was in an accident," the woman continued. Jess got up from her seat and tuned out the rest of the details. He was in an accident due to the icy roads. But what was he even doing in Vancouver? 

He was supposed to be at home.

She drove to the hospital slowly, slower than she would, cautious of the bad weather.
