CHAPTER THIRTEEN

When Jess and Sam returned from the hospital, Jenna was waiting for them in the hallway.

The moment Jess saw her, she walked up to Jenna and said, “Thank you, Jenna. Dad says that I’d be dead if it weren’t for you. It makes me sad…” She choked a little on her words here, tears welling up her eyes. Seeing her distress, Jenna came forward and took both of her hands in her own. “It makes me sad,” Jess went on, doing her best to keep it together, “to think that I’ve been such a bitch to you all this time. Everything that’s happened today got me thinking in the car on the way back. I’ve been really awful to you and I hope that you can forgive me.”

Jenna smiled, tears glittering in her own eyes.

“Of course, Jess,” she said.

With that, the two took hold of each other and hugged, Sam smiling gently in the background.

Having not had a chance to eat seafood in San Diego, they had the chef cook them some dinner immediately after the hug and, before long, they were sitting down to eat.

Around the dinner table, none of them had much of an appetite and each played with the food more than they ate it. Jess was still feeling the effects of the earlier blow, so that was her excuse. Jenna sat in a daze contemplating what had happened earlier and how lucky she was that she’d gotten to Jess in time, finding the days events deeply profound. And as for Sam, everything swam in his head in a storm of confusion, the day’s events crashing into the previous week’s.

While he ate, Sam couldn’t help glancing occasionally across the table at Jenna. He had so much to thank her for and every time she spotted his eyes gazing across at her, she would return his look and smile sweetly. Each time she did, Sam’s heart would collapse in on itself when he considered that he had recently become strongly resolved to leaving her. The day’s events had confused him so much and he found himself consumed by guilt when he thought of his feelings concerning Jenna and his actions toward Claire.

He sensed that he was destined to fall into despair over it all.

Everything swarmed inside of him and he found his food unappetizing to his knotted stomach. The fact that he hadn’t received a call from Claire cut him adrift on one side and his gratitude to Jenna cut him adrift on the other. Nothing in his personal life anchored him at this time and he was floating toward the edge of the world, set to fall off and float through a black nothing forever.

Perhaps I should stop dreaming and face reality, he said to himself as he poked a piece of chicken around the plate with his fork. Jenna clearly loves me and I do have feelings for her. I always imagined that they’d grow, but that was the dream. The reality is much different from that.
