“You coming with him?” The shorter, smaller tech nodded at Landon.
“I am.” I spoke up. “No, wait, the store. I—” I surveyed the store. “I can’t leave.”
“I’ll stay,” Landon said.
I whipped my head around to look at him. “What?”
“I’ll stay. I mean, if that’s okay with you. I can hold down the fort.”
Make a decision, Gaby.
I watched the EMTs glide the stretcher through the open door. I had to get going.
“Are you sure?” I asked. Wasted words. Wasted time. Time to go.
“Yes.” Landon squared his shoulders before he took both of my hands and looked me straight in the eyes. “Gabriella, go with your dad.”
“Okay.” I slumped in his grip, before finding the strength to straighten again. “I’m going to call my uncle Sal. I hope he can get here soon.”
“Just go. Everything will be fine.” Landon spun me around and guided me toward the door.
I knew Landon could handle the store. I’d be surprised if any browsers came in, let alone customers who’d make him try to figure out the register.
Before I followed the EMTs to the ambulance, I remembered my purse hidden away in the cubby under the register. As I retrieved it, I fumbled for words. “Thank you, Landon. I don’t even know what to say.”
“Gabriella. Go.”
I nodded and pushed through the doors.
