The day had flown by far too quickly. Pierce had noticed this about spending time with Cassidy. Days felt like hours, hours felt like minutes, and minutes felt impossible. Each day simply didn’t have hours to be with her. How could that already be such an issue? They hardly knew each other. And yet, as they sat on Cassidy’s couch, the late-May sun already setting behind the buildings stretched out in front of Cassidy’s living room window, Pierce already dreaded leaving her. They’d had nearly two full days together. They’d walked around the city, had coffee in the park, dinner on the roof of the nearby restaurants. But mostly, they’d stayed in bed. The sex. God damn it, the sex was out of this world. Every little thing Cassidy did was the new sexiest thing Pierce had ever seen. Even watching her get out of the shower and towel off her hair was life-changing. But that all came in second to lying next to her, stroking the soft skin of her stomach or kissing her neck, and falling asleep only to wake up next to that smile. It would be so damn easy to get used to it all.

It was crazy. But Pierce had to do something to stay in Cassidy’s presence for just a little while longer. “Have you heard they just did a series of The Hot Zone on HBO?”

She was desperate.

“You mean, like, that book by Richard Preston? I loved that one!” Pierce wasn’t sure if Cassidy was actually that excited about Ebola or if she was just trying to keep the night going too.

“Me too! It premieres in about an hour. What if we…you know, maybe watched it? Together?” Pierce immediately felt foolish. She must have sounded pathetic, begging Cassidy to spend just another second or two with her. “You know, if it’s not too much time with me…”

Cassidy’s face lit up so brightly it almost cast shadows on the white walls behind them. “It’s not too much time, Pierce. In fact, I can’t seem to get enough time with you…”

Pierce smiled and put her arm around Cassidy’s shoulder, pulling her closer. “I have this friend from Atlanta. Her name is Jayla. She’s great, but the girl literally defines ‘U-Hauling.’ This girlfriend she has now came over on their first date and just kind of never left.” Pierce chuckled and shook her head. “I always thought she was nuts. But you know, now I kind of see how that could happen.”

Cassidy laughed with her, and Pierce found herself quickly relieved she hadn’t come across as too crazy. “Yeah. I can kind of see that too.”
