Excerpt:

When I turned around again, I tried to put some kind of smile on my face. It definitely was more of a grimace but at least I felt better than Uriah looked.

He didn’t even look up from his zoned out position on the bed. I let my face fall from the forced smile and took a half step closer. “Uriah?” I pressed quietly. His hand was flexing and curling in and out of a fist between his knees. There was still a sheen of sweat on his forehead and a flush at the nape of his neck. I would have expected him to feel better after changing and chucking the thickly padded tactical vest. “Are you okay?”

I watched as he swallowed several times. His lips parted before he shook his head finally. Nothing came out of his mouth. “Do you want some water? You look… bad,” I said honestly. He looked like how I felt.

That coaxed a chuckle out of him. It seemed to jumpstart his speech because after another long moment and a swipe of his hand over his mouth, Uriah finally managed to speak. “None of us are okay,” he said hoarsely.
