  Heart Shot
   
  By GH Worth
   
  "Mom, I lived to tell the tale. I'm fine." 
  "I wish you wouldn't joke. You know it upsets me." 
  Ashton Rowan grabbed his computer bag and climbed out of the car. "You need to stop fixating 
  on what might have happened. It doesn't do any good. I'm trying to move on with my life. You 
  should, too."
