****

I don’t know how long I slept but when my eyes fluttered open, it was silent and dark in the large bedroom. I haven’t slept that good in months. The gigantic California king was the most comfortable bed I’ve ever been in. I fell into the feather pillows right after my shower and couldn’t move a muscle.

Now the bed feels a little smaller than before and it took a minute for me to remember where I was. The waves lapping along the beach and the sun-kissed saltwater scent of the man lying next to me brought it all back to me. I turned over on my stomach and slipped my hands under the pillows. I could tell by Aiden’s breathing that he was wide-awake.

“Are you awake?” his voice broke the silence but didn’t startle me. I was expecting him to say something.

“Yes.”

“I put Summer in the other room. I fed her too. There’s some food in the kitchen if you’re hungry.”

“I’m okay,” I replied. “Thanks for taking care of her.”

“What are you doing here, Sunny?”

“It’s late,” I said. “Let’s discuss it tomorrow.”

Aiden sighed. His silhouette was outlined by the soft pale glow of the moon. When I last saw him in Mt. Vernon, he looked like death warmed over. The mental anguish that he’s been putting himself through was still very much evident by the lines in his brow and the horrific glazed over look in his eyes. The tan and new muscles from whatever he’s been doing for the past month look great but I can see that he’s hurting. I don’t care if he’s happy to see me or not, I’m glad I’m here.

“I think we should discuss this now,” he said. “I didn’t invite you and I told Roxy and my sisters not to tell you where I was.”

“How long have I been your best friend?” I asked. “I don’t need an invitation to be where you are, you know that.”

“You’re intruding on my space.”

“So.”

“Is that all you have to say?” he asked. “So isn’t good enough, Sunny. I came here to be alone.”

“You’ve been alone long enough. I’m here now. Deal with it.”

“Whatever, Sunny.” Aiden slid out of the bed and walked out of the room.

When I heard the familiar snap of his guitar case and the front door open, I decided to stay in the bed. It wouldn’t do any good to follow him. Instead, I let the mellow sound of him strumming his acoustic guitar waft over me and put me back to sleep.
