I blink against the morning light, the sunlight streaming in through the living room window.

I’m halfway on top of Lance. He’s beneath me, the two of us stretched out on the couch. Jeannette and Nathan Willow took our bedroom. Well, they didn’t take it, per se. In fact, Jeannette really didn’t want to put us out like that. But Lance and I insisted, not taking no for an answer. That’s where they are now, behind the closed door, asleep.

I smack my lips, tasting morning breath and feeling thirsty. Lance stirs underneath me and I feel the arm of his I’m laying on squeeze me tighter. He’s cradling me, and it feels nice. Comfortable.

“Mm, morning,” he says in a low mumble.

“Morning,” I say, leaning up and giving him a long kiss. I can feel my nethers stir as we hold together, but this isn’t the time or place. We can wait until Jeannette and Nathan leave. Whenever that’s going to be.

To be honest, Lance and I don’t really have a plan for the two of them. When they were getting set up yesterday Lance and I discussed possibilities, keeping our voices low.

“We could drive them somewhere,” I suggested. But Lance shook his head.

“No, not yet. If Will was after her and the kid, he’ll definitely send more. Probably scout out. I’d like to keep them in hiding, at least for a bit longer, until the heat’s off of them.”

So I guess they’re staying here. For how long, I don’t know.

We break off our kiss and I push myself up, get off the couch. In the living room are boxes of diapers, Nathan’s toys, some extra suitcases and duffel bags Jeannette had packed up. We decided to take everything out of the car, in case somebody drove by and saw it suspiciously full of baby stuff and luggage. I walk over to the bathroom to pee and brush my teeth, and when I come out the smell of coffee is just starting to waft its way to my nose.

“Mm, good call,” I say to Lance, giving him another kiss as he passes by me to use the bathroom.

The pot is ready and I pour myself a cup when the bedroom door opens and Jeannette walks out, carrying Nathan. The baby is playing with her hair, giving it light tugs, making goo noises as he does.

“Morning,” I say, and Jeannette offers an apologetic smile.

“Morning,” she says. She glances around. I think she’s still a bit off-put, being here. After all, it was only a couple of days ago that she found out Lance was her late husband’s hired killer. You don’t get over something like that so quickly, even if she did compose herself pretty well when we were there before.

“Do you want some coffee?” I open the cupboard and take down a mug.

“I would love one, thanks,” she says. Nathan starts squirming, trying to get out of his mother’s arms, but she looks reluctant.

“It’s okay for him to roam around,” I assure her, pouring the black liquid into her mug.
