HARRY

The warmth of someone’s arms around me is the nicest feeling while I’m asleep, a feeling that I’ve never experienced quite like this before. It’s comforting and brings me brightly colored dreams that I want to swim in forever. I don’t see any reason I should leave this place. I don’t want to move one bit. I’m content.

“Harry!” That is, until someone shakes me violently, dragging me from my happy place. “Shit, Harry, wake up!”

“Huh?” I rub my head hard as I slowly peel my eyes apart. “What’s the matter? What’s going on?”

I find myself staring into the wild, panicked eyes of Georgia. It’s a similar look to the one she gave me a decade ago when her father dragged her away from me. It causes ice coldness to run through me as well. I’m now absolutely terrified that something is about to come along and wreck us again when we have just gotten to a good place.

“Ella… I just got a call from Josie’s mom, and she’s bringing her back here now. She’s missing home. You can’t…” She rakes her fingers through her hair, very clearly agitated. “You can’t be here. It’s too much. I can’t have another man in the house like this, and her teacher as well. It will freak Ella out and people will talk…”

“Oh, right.” Her actions are too much. It’s too early in the morning for me to figure out what’s going on here. I slide myself out of the bed, knowing that Georgia wants me gone and that’s the main thing. “Yeah, I’ll go.”

I get dressed as fast as I can, but it’s hard to find my clothing. I guess we were in a bit of a hurry to get one another naked last night. But I can’t seem to get dressed quickly enough for Georgia. She’s in a right mess.

“We need to… to sort this out. Oh, my God, this is such a mess, isn’t it? This is such a nightmare…”

“It will be fine.” I attempt to calm her down, but she glares at me. I don’t think that my advice is wanted, so I snap my lips together rapidly. This is nothing like the Georgia I got last night. It scares me because I can’t help but worry whether she regrets last night or not. Of course, she seemed really into it at the time, but in the heat of the moment, she might have acted on impulse and not really thought about it… but this isn’t how things are supposed to go. I thought that we were reconnecting once more. I thought that things were going to go well…

She isn’t married anymore, and I don’t have anyone special in my life. There isn’t anything holding us back. I know this might be a little bit weird, but it doesn’t need to create this much animosity between us, does it?

Oh, God, maybe I’m reading things wrong. Perhaps I’m seeing what I want to see and I’m about to be crushed all over again.
