CHAPTER 16

Ember fell into bed that night and clutched her phone against her chest waiting for Eva’s text that she’d arrived home safely. She stared up at the ceiling and replayed that last exchange with Eva prior to their lengthy goodbye in front of the elevator. She’d offered to walk her to the train station, but Eva declined. Ember had instead watched her from the window for a few blocks. She’d cleaned the kitchen, dressed, and readied for bed and found herself thinking of the word Eva had used. She’d called her babe. Ember had been called that before. She’d been called that a lot, actually. Sometimes, it was in passing and sometimes it was in bed out of reflex more than anything. But it had never meant more to her than when it had escaped Eva’s lips.

Her phone beeped. She lifted it to see that Eva had arrived home. She breathed a sigh of relief. Never before had she cared so much about a woman walking home alone. She wanted Eva to be safe because she couldn’t stand the idea of anyone or anything hurting her. She wanted only happiness for Eva Dash and wanted to help provide that to her. She texted back and a few minutes later got a reply from Eva that she was in bed. Ember decided to take a chance and pressed the phone icon next to Eva’s name.

“Hey there,” Eva said.

“I couldn’t wait until tomorrow.”
