She takes forever in the shower, and I'm sure it's her way of giving me some space that I'm obviously in need of. I sit in the metal chair waiting for her to come out. When she does walk out, I wish she would've stay in there longer. I need more time to prepare my mind for the sight I see. Her hair is wet and longer than normal. My tank top hangs loosely on her and isn't covering enough of her sports bra for my mind to have to do the imagining. The shorts are baggy and that's about the only good thing in my favor.

I can tell she's uncomfortable with the shirt because she's trying to hide behind her arms. "I may need a different shirt."

"What's wrong with that one?"

"Well it's not really covering enough to be considered a shirt."

"I think it looks fine." Listen to me. What. In. The. Fuck. Am I doing?

"Yeah well, I think I need an actual t-shirt if you don't mind."

"Suit yourself. That's what I have right there. I'll be making a trip to the laundry mat soon."

"I need to get my clothes from the Jeep tomorrow. What time are you going over to meet Lou?"

"5 a.m."

"I thought you work Mondays."

"I'm going to call in. I'll be taking the next week off." I don't tell her that I plan to leave this place the same day she does and that I'll be quitting that job when I call in. I'll have to finally withdraw some money from my Rebel Walking account to make it through the week, not to mention my trip out of here. I've purposely avoided tapping into that money for many reasons. One being that I didn't want people to be able to figure out where I am. I know those guys are looking for me and the Walkers aren't dumb asses. Which is why I'll wait until the last possible minute to withdraw the money.

"You can't do that. See, I told you this was a bad idea. Now you're taking days off of work to help me."

"It's not up for discussion."

"Luke, this is too much."

"One week. One week and you'll be free from here and all the shit that's fucked up your life." She sits on the edge of the bed straight in front of me. I start to think about just pulling all the money from my account to give her, but I know she needs more. The money from this fight will give her plenty and I can keep my account mostly intact, and available for my own plan. Worst case scenario... I'll pull the money she needs and get her the fuck out of here.

"One week, Luke. That's me taking a whole week from you."

"You're not taking it all. I'm learning from Lou and I'll have a new skill. This is what needs to happen, Kimber."

"You say that like you're dreaming of becoming a professional fighter."

"You never know." My eyes fall to her lips then to her tits.
