Austin slept after that, but I couldn’t get my brain to shut off. So much had happened in such a short time that I found it difficult to wrap my brain around it all. I’d gone from happily anticipating my honeymoon to lying in a bed next to a man six years younger than me who I barely knew while the dead roamed the world. Could it be real? It didn’t feel real. It felt like a nightmare.

Austin shifted and I found my gaze drawn to his peaceful face. He looked younger when he slept, but maybe that could be said of everyone. It was the only time I was able to block out the truth of this new reality and truly relax, so maybe I looked like a teenager again when I slept. Regardless, Austin did look like a teenager. Especially with his long hair spread across his pillow and his hand tucked under his cheek the way it was. He wasn’t far from being a teenager, either. Twenty-one years old, but so much more mature and confident than I had been at that age, maybe even more so than I was now. It was the only thing that kept me from feeling like a creep when I thought about the passionate sex we’d had just a short time ago. Knowing everything he’d been through and everything he was capable of, I couldn’t feel like I’d taken advantage of him in any way.

My mind wandered to Kevin, my ex-fiancé who was on his way here at this very moment. Comparing the two men didn’t seem fair because even though I hardly knew Austin, my ex couldn’t possibly measure up to the man beside me. Maybe in this new world Kevin would be able to redeem himself in some way, but I now knew that if he made it here, he would never again be the person I turned to. Not for comfort, not for love, not for anything.

I let out a deep breath and closed my eyes, willing my body to relax so I could get some rest. By having sex with Austin I somehow felt like I’d let go of a big chunk of baggage, and it was a relief not to have it weighing me down. Maybe it was a petty feeling, but I was going to grab it and hold on no matter what, because I had enough going on that I had to struggle through without it.
