When the film ends, Jay gives Dad an awkward handshake that Mom rescues with a swooping goodbye hug. We walk out to his car and Jay gathers me in his arms in the dark and leans back against his driver’s side door.
“Well, family day has been done,” he says.
“Yes it has,” I agree.
As we embrace I can feel him more than see him, which is pretty sexy. I raise my face and extend my neck for my dose of spearmint. After a delicious moment of kissing, Jay pulls back and whispers, “It was a great day because I was with you.”
“Me too,” I say sleepily.
“Go tuck yourself into bed.”
“Why don’t you come tuck me in?”
“I’d love that.” He looks toward the house. “But I’m thinking if I try it, the movie won’t be the only thing that ends in a fiery explosion tonight.”
I laugh and Jay kisses me again and helps me get situated on my crutches before sliding into his car. I wave a blind goodbye to his headlights as he drives away.
It’s not until I’m climbing into bed that I realize I forgot to tell him about getting to know Pierce a little better. I pull my comforter up and decide that smoldering look he and I shared by the burned-out campfire will be less damning once I let Jay know the two of us talked.
I wonder what the deal is with that guy anyway. What could’ve made him enlist so young? No matter how cool he may have seemed last night, I’ll bet Pierce is still really messed up.
I imagine him ever-so-casually covering me as I slept. That image cuts to a close-up of sleep drool running down my chin and I cringe.
Spending overtime with my therapy group clearly has me setting my compass due crazy.
