Despite the agony that surged through his battered body, Jamie’s determination to find Claire grew with each passing moment. He leaned heavily on the walls for support, using every ounce of strength to drag himself outside. His body protested with each step, but the image of Claire’s tear-streaked face and her haunted eyes were fixated in his mind, driving him to push past the agony that threatened to consume him. He knew he had to see her, to be by her side and offer whatever comfort he could. He was determined to beg if necessary... desperate to find Claire and make things right between them.
