Alex made her some soup and crackers for a late lunch and brought it to her, insisting she eat it before anything else. He fussed over her, checking her temperature, wrapping the blanket tightly around her up to her chin.

“I could use a serious shower,” Elena stated, after she ate her soup.

“Let me start you a hot bath. Roger and Amy will be here in a little bit. You can relax a little while before they get here, maybe take a nap.”

“Babe, I’m fine, ok?” She pulled him down to her eye level. “I know you’ve been worried but I’m fine. I feel so much better. Nothing was more beautiful than your face looking at me through that truck window. You saved me again and I’m gonna be just fine.”

“Ok, ok. Let me at least get you to the bath tub.” He picked her up in one swift movement and carried her down the hall the open bathroom door.

She rested against his chest and thought about how good it felt to have someone take care of you. He set her down while he drew her water, she was already undressed so he helped her in. He stayed with her, still unsure and not wanting to leave her alone yet.

He washed her back and rubbed her scalp. She looked so much better now, the color coming back into her face. He knew she would be fine. She had done something so wonderful and dangerous for him and his mother, and had almost paid the ultimate price.

She wouldn’t have made it until morning in that freezing wet cold truck, Alex knew that. He squinted his eyes and shook off the thought. He wondered if Elena understood how close she had actually come.
