Beth sat back, flushed. As soon as Joe’s eyes closed, she chided herself for thinking something had changed in Joe’s warm, green eyes. He was feverish. Delirious, more than likely. Yet he’d been talking clearheaded . . . She quashed the errant flow of her thoughts even as his fingers squeezed hers and his breathing evened out as evidence of sleep.

It meant nothing.

She sighed and slipped her hand from his. Her eyes landed on the single sheet of paper and curiosity drew her to unfold it. He seemed to dread the idea of finishing it and she wondered if she should simply sit down and write it for him. Let the person know that he was recovering from a wound that had left his right hand weakened.

My dearest Meredith

The words jumped out at her, accusing. She tamped back the panic. Meredith could be anyone. A sister. The rest of the letter didn’t mention anything that would give a clue, though she couldn’t help the spark of satisfaction that it, at least, didn’t seem overly personal. Maybe Meredith was nothing more than a family friend.

She folded the letter back and felt the first spike of heat in her cheeks. She’d had no business reading something so personal without his knowledge, even if he had seemed open to the idea of her finishing the letter. She smoothed the stiff paper, then put it back in the haversack for safekeeping.
