Jake

Jake squinted his eyes, tilting his head to the side as he stared at his mother’s closed bedroom door. No luck. X-ray vision was still a fail.

It was only seven o’clock, and it wasn’t the first time he’d caught her going to bed early recently. She was still insisting that she was fine, but maybe he should check in with Betty in the morning and see if she could reassure him about how Marlene was acting at the shop.

Should he just peek inside and see if she looked okay? But what if she wasn’t actually asleep yet? What if she was reading in bed or something?

He put his hand on his mother’s doorknob, pressing his ear against the door. Silence. He twisted the knob slowly, peeking through the crack. Dark, so she definitely wasn’t reading… and was that a snore?

Definitely a snore.

Okay, so… that told him all of nothing, other than yes, she had, in fact, gone to bed early.

A ping sounded from his own bedroom, and he pulled her door closed quickly, not wanting her to wake up if she really needed the sleep. Seven o’clock in Chicago so… about five in Yuma? He headed down the hall. It wasn’t too early to be Gabe, depending on what kind of hell the Marine Corps had decided to put him through today.

Jake grinned as he flopped onto his bed and grabbed his phone off the nightstand, not even bothering to pretend he didn’t still feel all sorts of delicious butterfly action in his stomach at the thought of hearing from his not-boyfriend.

And yep, the ping had been from Gabe, so the butterflies threw a little party.

Skype?
