Chapter Thirteen

Early the next morning, Jamie reached out and tucked her arm around Ryan’s waist. “Are you sneaking out of bed this early?”

“Yeah. I’ve uhm…got to go to a meeting.”

“What?” Jamie sat up and switched on the bedside light, rubbing her eyes as they adjusted to the brightness. “What meeting do you have at this time of the day?”

“Amanda wants me to go to a…group…or something, I guess.” Ryan slid out of bed, gazing down at her partner with an unreadable expression on her face.

Seeing the hesitancy and unease on Ryan’s face, Jamie gentled her expression and said, “It’s okay, honey, you don’t have to tell me about it if you’d rather not. I know you like to keep things between you and Amanda.”

“No…it’s not that…it’s…well, I’m nervous about it.”

“Do you want me to go with you? Drive you there?”

“That’s sweet,” Ryan said, her expression softening into a smile. “But, I think I have to do this for myself. I might want to talk about it—but I might not, okay?”

“Okay. You’re entitled to your privacy.”

“Thank you,” Ryan said, sitting down on the bed and stroking Jamie’s cheek. “That means a lot to me.”

Jamie turned her head to kiss Ryan’s palm. “I know.” Giving her partner a hug, she asked, “Want me to make you breakfast?”

“Thanks, but I don’t think so. My tummy’s a little upset, and I don’t feel like eating. I’ll stop and get a latte on the way.”

Jamie put a hand on her lover’s bare shoulder and gazed into her eyes for a moment. “Baby, whatever comes up today, I’m sure you can handle it. No matter what life throws at you from now on, you’ve been through worse.”

“You have a good point there, partner. Talking about the carjacking can never be as frightening as that night was.” She kissed Jamie soundly, and said, “Thanks for reminding me of that.”

“All part of the job description. I’m merely trying to suck up to my supervisor.”
