I stood in the emergency department at Hudson Memorial with the phone
pressed to my ear. This was all normal for me, the beeping of heart
monitors, doctors and nurses walking past in a rush to visit their next
patient. I was just used to being one of those doctors engaged in the practice
of medicine—not one of the family and friends of the loved one being cared
for. It felt surreal, given the circumstances.

“Yes, Harper, Lily is with your mom. They’ve gone back to your place
with the key you left me. She will keep her until you get home tomorrow.
I’m so sorry.” Harper, my best friend, was away on her honeymoon, and I
was babysitting her four-year-old until everything happened this afternoon.
I turned to glance past the curtain at the young boy in the bed. His eyes
were still shut peacefully, which wasn’t necessarily a good sign with a head
injury. His mother hovered nearby, probably on pins and needles for a
number of reasons, a few of them linked to me.
“It’s okay, Ben.” Harper’s tone was comforting, but I still felt like I was
letting her down. “Your friend needs you right now. Go be with her and her
son, and I’m sure Mom will do fine with Lily. It’s just one night. She called
me earlier and told me how you saved that little boy.”
“I didn’t really save him. I just saw him slip and fall then stayed by his
side until the EMTs got there.” I knew as well as anyone else that what I
had done wasn’t special. I did what any decent human being would do. I
just knew to check his vitals and such.
“Well, regardless, that boy was lucky to have you. Go now and be with
them. I’ll let you know when we’re home safe.”
“Alright. Be safe traveling.”
“Bye, Ben.” Harper hung up, and I locked my phone and slid it into my
pocket. I wasn’t sure if it was my guilt over passing Lily off to her
grandmother or my nerves over seeing my one-time flame, but I felt like I
could throw up.
I peeked around the curtain again, hoping to see the boy’s eyes open.
Charlie, she called him—and his middle name was Benjamin. It was a
shock hearing that in the ambulance because, of course, my name was
Benjamin. Not to mention the fact that just over eight years ago was the last
time I’d seen her. The boy looked exactly like her, though, not even a hint
of me in him. But I stood there and stared, trying to make sense of it.
Georgia looked up at me, catching me watching her, and forced a pained
smile. “You can come in.” Georgia Lane—the woman I thought I’d never
see again but always wished I would—stared at me, her eyes both pushing
me away and beckoning me forward.
I moved past the curtain that separated the small exam room from the
hallway and sat down next to her on the bench situated next to the bed.
