Emily's POV
Liam's voice was low and pained as he spoke.
"I was driving to pick you up, and a kid ran out into the road. I couldn't stop in time and hit her. I'm so sorry. I'm at the hospital now. I'm not sure how bad it is, but I wanted to let you know what was going on." I was still in shock, trying to process what he was saying.
My heart sank as I listened to Liam's explanation. I had been so worried about being stood up, and now I felt terrible for doubting him. I was horrified to hear that a child had been injured and that he was at the hospital. "Oh my god, Liam, are you okay? Is the child okay?" I asked, feeling a wave of panic and sadness.
"Yes, she is."
