***

She knew she wouldn’t be able to sleep in Quinn’s bed, but after she stretched out beside him, he fell into a deep sleep, his hand curved over her hip. She couldn’t sleep in jeans, she couldn’t sleep in a strange bed, and she couldn’t sleep with the man she loved right beside her. Maybe someday that would change, but for now, she’d have to resign herself to going to the funeral with bags under her eyes.

She wondered if he’d ever have been able to open up to her back home in Bluestone, or if he had to be away from that place, back in this place that made him sad and restless. Would he have come home and told her how hard it had been for him, or did she only learn it because she’d come to him?

She shifted away and he stirred when she climbed off the bed. When she returned from the bathroom, he was sitting up, rubbing his eyes.

“What time is it?” he asked, his voice rough with sleep skidding right over her proximity-heightened nerves.

“Just after seven. Did I wake you?” Duh. Of course she had. He’d been asleep when she left the bed. “I’m sorry.”

“Doesn’t matter. I haven’t slept like that in—a long time.” He swung his legs over the side of the bed away from her and waited a minute, hands braced on the mattress. “We didn’t drink too much, huh?”

They hadn’t even opened the bottle. “No.”

“So why do I feel hungover?”

She shifted her weight, wishing she’d brought a toothbrush. “Too much emotion? I don’t know. I’m going to go to my room and shower so we can get over to your mom’s for breakfast.” And she made her escape without looking at him.
