"Grace!"
Davian's voice cracked the stillness like thunder. He sprinted toward her and she immediately noticed that he was barefoot. His hair was messy from sleep, or the lack of it, and panic was etched deep into his face.
Right behind him was Dr. Kian, and he was looking no better than Davian. His usually pristine composure was nowhere in sight as he too made his way toward her.
"Where the hell have you been?" Davian demanded. He was nearly out of breath as he caught her in a hug so fierce it almost knocked her backward. "It's been two weeks, Grace. We thought-" His voice broke off and his grip tightened.
"We thought we lost you," Dr. Kian said hoarsely as he came up from behind and wrapped his arms around her shoulders, pulling her in just as tightly.
