The next morning Heath arrived and we spent the next few hours running errands I’d had piling up for months. He’d taken me to the grocery store, the pharmacy to pick up the vitamins the doctor prescribed, and to the city hall to file paperwork transferring the house to my name. By the time we finished everything, the only thing I wanted to do was drop onto the couch and watch TV. I couldn’t believe how quickly I grew tired lately. We’d made a grilled chicken Cesar salad for dinner and put a movie on.

I glanced over my shoulder. It still seemed unreal that Heath was sitting in my living room. Even though we’d spent the day together, we were too busy for my mind to wander to those places. In the quiet of the house, with only a movie to keep me occupied, it was hard not to notice his presence like a shield that wrapped around me.

He’d been here for a few days and as much as I didn’t want to admit it to myself, I was getting used to his company. I liked that he was here waiting for me when I got home from work. Whether it was an early night from the diner or a late night at the club, he was here or there. He’d spent a few of those shifts sitting in VIP at the club. It was hard not to notice his eyes on me every move I made. But I did my best to keep it professional and just bring him his drinks. Then at the end of the night he’d drive me home.

I had no idea what to think about all of it. Around him my brain seemed to turn to mush and everything I’d do with better judgment went right out the window. He managed to break down most of the barriers around my heart, but my mind was holding onto the last one nice and strong. I didn’t know what to do and I knew I wouldn’t until he flew back for the next show in two days. I had a feeling I’d miss him more than I was ready to admit, but I needed my space to think.

A commercial came on and I reached for the remote. My fingers brushed skin and I looked down to see he already wrapped his hand around it. My skin tingled at every point we touched.

After the last week, I wasn’t sure if my heart or my nerves could handle it when he left.
