Usually within five minutes of hitting the sheets, Andi was asleep. But tonight she lay wide-eyed, listening to the sounds of Gabe moving about. She wasn’t accustomed to having anyone in her house and each sound he made, no matter how slight, sounded like a bomb going off.

She heard yet another thump, Gabe’s muffled curse, then footsteps in the hall. Her bedroom door opened slowly with a creak of hinges.

“Andi? You asleep?”

She pushed up to her elbows. “No. Thanks to you, I’m wide-awake.”

The overhead light flashed on, and she threw up a hand to shade her eyes. “Gabe!”

“Sorry.”

The light blinked off and he crossed to stand beside the bed. “Move over. And before you start bitchin’ and moanin’, I should remind you that the bed in your guest room is not a real bed. A midget wouldn’t fit in that matchbox. And don’t bother suggesting the sofa. I already tried and have a crick in my neck to prove it.”

Rolling her eyes, she flipped back the covers. “Oh, for heaven’s sake. Get in, so I can get some sleep.”

He crawled into the bed, spent a moment plumping the pillow and adjusting the covers, then settled beside her with a contented sigh. “Good night, Andi.”

She punched her pillow. “You’re going home tomorrow.”

“Uh-huh,” he said vaguely.

“I mean it. I don’t need or want you here. I can take care of myself.”

He rolled to his side and draped an arm across her middle. “So you keep saying.” He snuggled his head next to hers on her pillow. “’Night, Andi.”
