“They’re on their way to Sunnybrook. I’ll take you right now,” Rohan said, disconnecting the call.

“Rohan, you can’t take her,” Asha said. “We’ve all been drinking. Call an Uber.”

Kamila didn’t want an Uber. She looked at Rohan. Fix this, she wanted to say. Put out this fire.

But he couldn’t. It might be too late to fix anything.

Anil stood. “I’ve only had soda. I’ll take her.”

Rohan looked like he wanted to be the one to sweep in and save Kamila—because that was what he did. He was there for his friends. Whether it was because he felt obligated to or whatever, he was still there.

But Asha was right. Kamila had just watched Rohan practically down a glass of wine in one sip.

“I’m coming with you,” Rohan said.

“No, it’s fine,” Kamila said. His words from earlier hadn’t lost their sting. He said she only cared about herself. Maybe Asha was right—she could do this without him. She held his eyes for a minute. “Call my sister. Tell Shelina what’s going on.”

Rohan sighed. “Okay, but promise you’ll call me as soon as you know how he is.”

Kamila nodded and went inside with Anil. Asha followed them to the elevator. “I’ll take Darcy home with me,” Asha said. “Call me when you know anything. I can be at the hospital in twenty minutes if you need your best friend.”

“Thank you.” She hugged Asha, then stepped into the elevator.

On the ride to the hospital in Anil’s Lexus, Kamila clutched the armrest tightly. Dad had to be okay. She’d accept nothing else.

“I’ll say a prayer for your father,” Anil said. “I really hope he’s fine.”

Kamila nodded, saying a silent prayer herself.

“It was lucky Jana went home, although this must be hard for her,” Anil said. “She knew what to do. She once mentioned she was there when her father took ill. He died of heart failure, didn’t he?”

“Yes. And my mother died of a heart attack.”

“I didn’t know that. I’m so sorry, Kamila.” He squeezed her knee. “Hang in there. I’ll get you there soon.”

They pulled up to the hospital ten minutes later. She texted Jana that they were there and got a quick response that she was in the emergency department, but Dad had been taken back for an EKG.

“I’ll leave you to be with your family,” Anil said as he pulled up next to the door. “If there is anything I can do, please don’t hesitate to call me.”

“Thank you, Anil. I appreciate the ride.”
