Chapter Fifteen

“It’s peaceful out here,” Hudson said.

“It is.”

She should have stayed upstairs. Ari most likely did not want her company after the way she’d left Ari’s bed and surely didn’t want to hear the reason for her abrupt departure. A lump formed in her throat. Maybe she should just make another excuse and disappear.

Ari rose from the wicker chair. “I’ll be right back.” Ari opened the screen door and went into the house.

Hudson drew her hand across her face, lost in memories and the awkwardness between them. The neighbors waved as they slowly drove by. The only sounds were from songbirds in the trees and the rustle of leaves from the breeze. Her time alone on the porch gave her a chance to mull over the last few days. After making love, she’d panicked, unsure what it meant for the future, and she’d left Ari’s bed a short time later. The word “future” scared her most of all. For more than a year, the decisions she’d made affected only her. As much as she enjoyed spending time with Ari, and as amazing as they’d been together in bed, it made her nervous to think she might be giving real consideration to the relationship moving forward. She hadn’t given Ari a chance to share her thoughts. For all she knew, they’d had a pleasant evening of mutual pleasure and that was all. Maybe she was worried about nothing. Certainly, if she’d had an opinion, Ari would have talked to her. Ari wasn’t the type to beat around the bush. No, Ari only had one thing on her mind, and that was making a go of her business. She didn’t have time to think about anything else.

Still, the little sleep she’d gotten in her cold bed had only confirmed how guilty she felt. Ari wasn’t one of her casual pickups. She’d fought the urge to return and apologize, but what could she say that wouldn’t make the situation worse? Her body and mind were exhausted. Hudson sat back and closed her eyes.
