Chapter 56 – Dylan
CHAPTER FIFTY-SIX
DYLAN
“Dylan?”
“ Grayson ? What is it?”
“He’s out. They made it out.” Grayson’s voice is gruff, swimming with emotion.
I try to bite back my cry of relief, but it’s useless. It’s out, and with it comes the tears of joy. “He’s okay?”
“Yeah.” He clears his throat. “Yes. He’s at base camp. His cell is toast, but he asked me to call you and tell you he made it out. He said to tell you, two-in. Two-out.”
I smile through the tears and nod like he can see me. “Thank you.” My words are barely audible.
“He’s going to be there for a while until the blaze is contained. If he can’t get through to you, we’ll let you know when his crew is on their way home.”
“Okay.” For the first time, the silence that fills the line is a positive thing as we both breathe easier.
And when we hang up moments later, I slide down the wall and cry with the phone clutched in my hand and Grady’s stamp on every part of my heart.
