Cain tried not to do the creepy thing and stare at her while she slept, but his eyes kept finding Sammy there next to him on the bed. She looked softer in sleep. Not so edgy and tense. Her short, black hair contrasted with the white sheets, and her dark lashes fanned her pale cheeks. Like a real-life version of Snow White.

She’d finally opened up to him earlier when she talked about her mom. Since his first day with Phantoms, he’d sought her approval, her acceptance. He didn’t understand it himself, but the psychologist in him figured it was a hopeless endeavor. He’d been doing the same thing with others since his parents died, surrounding himself with people who weren’t the praising type, then got crushed when he didn’t fit in. High school, college, and his career after had been a string of open-ended friendships and relationships. When his grandmother had died last year, he swore to change his life. Stop seeking acceptance from those who would never give it.

And then he’d met Sammy. A kindred spirit had he ever seen one. But unlike himself, who needed people around, she closed herself off. Both were defense moves with the same outcome. She still took his breath away every time he looked at her. He’d almost given up hope she’d come around. Hell, he’d settle for her tolerating him at this point.

What happened earlier went beyond tolerance. She’d removed a brick from that wall and let him peek through. In a roundabout way, she’d acknowledged her attraction. His throat was still tight remembering.

If you can’t get someone out of your head, maybe they’re supposed to be there.

He swiped a hand down his face, scratched his jaw. He’d been alternating between watching her and the TV for a few hours, but the crew would be returning soon. Sammy needed rest, so he pulled out his phone and texted Paul.

Sammy asleep. Doing good. No stitches. Go ahead and get dinner without us. We’ll find something if she wakes up hungry.

Paul responded in seconds. You got it. We’re wrapping up anyway. Gonna do research on the property history tonight from the laptop. Are U ok?

He smiled. Paul was a good guy. They’d gotten closer since his first case and he considered him a friend. A genuine one. Something he’d gone without for too long. I am now. Thnx for asking.

BTW. Great work keeping her off site and occupied.

Cain shook his head. Funny, man. Real funny.

He set his phone on the nightstand and slid down the bed to stretch out, thinking he could use a few winks himself. He’d spent last night awake, thinking about Sammy, and the better part of the predawn hours going for a run with her. Now that the adrenaline had worn off, he was exhausted.

Sammy made an adorable noise in her sleep and rolled over. He turned on his side to face her, careful not to touch. If she was anything like him, that kind of thing could jar her and cause a freak out when she woke.
