It was a week before Christmas, and Ryan and I hadn’t seen each other much in the past few days. He worked late, and I left early, so we didn’t have much time for conversations, and I had to be content with brief kisses and hugs when he left. He never left without kissing me goodbye, and he’d hold me close if we shared a few hours together in the middle of the night, almost always making love to me.

My body flushed as images of Ryan’s lovemaking filled my mind. He was an amazing lover and knew just how to touch or kiss me to turn me into a quivering, helpless mass. Even when I was angry with him, my emotions betrayed me and I had absolutely no choice but to give him every piece of me. Body and soul. The pleasure he gave in the bedroom was insane, but I missed just talking to him; hearing about his day or sharing mine with him. It was like he didn’t want to talk to me about the hospital and what went on there. The reason was obvious. Last weekend would have been nearly perfect if it weren’t for those damn calls. After the last one, Ryan acted so guilty, and even though we cuddled on the couch, our hands entwined or traced lightly over each other, the conversation died.

Last night, Ryan mentioned, only briefly, that he’d asked Jane to be more judicious in her calls. I didn’t question him further, instead choosing to trust that things would get better. It didn’t. I could sense Ryan’s discomfort every time his phone rang. When he did speak to her, his tone was more understanding than I would have liked. Given her persistence when he was home, I couldn’t help but wonder how much she stalked him at the hospital. He barely mentioned her when we were together, throwing me an apologetic look on the two occasions he did pick up. Apparently, she and Daniel split, and she had to find a new place to live, and Ryan, Caleb and a few of the others were going to help her move, and they were all trying to coordinate schedules.

I tried not to let it bother me, but scowled despite my efforts. No doubt she would really turn her attention to Ryan. The hag would probably accidentally dump her lingerie drawers out in front of him on purpose, I thought bitchily, then felt bad that I would even think such a thing about a woman to whom I owed Ryan’s life. It was exhausting fighting with myself all the time.

Snow was falling softly outside, and I had to admit that besides spring, winter was my favorite time in New York. I loved the lights making the snowflakes glisten as they fell and how Central Park was like a huge, sparkly white blanket in the center of the city. I gently pulled out the half-finished portrait from my portfolio, knowing that when Ryan saw it, any distance between us would melt away.
