FRAMING FELIPE – 84 – Holley Trent

He drew some air in through his lips and blew it back out in a sigh. “Why can’t we just

stay here?”

She’d be lying to herself if she’d say the thought hadn’t crossed her mind. As much as

she liked having a high-‐octane life, there was something gratifying about feeling safe

enough to go slow, too. Felipe somehow made her feel safe. She didn’t try to understand it,

but maybe it was the same reason Dana was so calm in the presence of Patrick. There was

no need for her to perform around him. He saw through the act, so Dana just stopped

putting it on. He loved her whether she was soft or hard or somewhere in between, so she

one morning of sleep can make up for a lifetime of pushing it?”

“Don’t act like you know me.” She crawled to the edge of the bed and stomped to the

bathroom.

His response was a throaty chuckle. He read her like a book, and it smarted.

After relieving her bladder and brushing her teeth, she cranked on the water and

quickly shed her clothes. She knew the water heaters at the lodge to be somewhat

cantankerous, and there was no way to predict how long the hot water would hold out. If
