“What are you
thinking about?”
I gave Jade a chaste
kiss before stepping back. “I was thinking about how much our lives have
changed since Anna moved in, and how much you’ve had to put up with.”
“They have changed,
haven’t they?”
I reached in the
cabinet for a mug before pouring myself some coffee. “Yes.”
We stared at each
other for several minutes, not speaking but saying plenty. Jade stepped closer
and reached out to brush her fingers along the back of my hand.
Turning my hand
over, I laced our fingers and squeezed. We stayed like that, trapped in the
bubble we’d created, until there was a knock on the door.
“I’ll get it. Why
don’t you let Anna know Emma’s here.”
Jade nodded.
Once she was inside
Anna’s room, I opened the door and invited Emma in. “Morning, Emma.”
“Good morning, Cal.
How are you?”
“As well as can be
expected at eight thirty on a Saturday morning.”
She stepped inside,
tucking her long blond hair behind her ear while adjusting the strap on her
briefcase over her shoulder. “You’re used to getting up earlier than this now,
aren’t you? I’d expect you to be ready for anything at this point.”
