Trish

* * *

Something furry brushed against her arm, and Trish shot up. She was disoriented and felt a slight pounding in her head. “Hey, Shadow.” At the mention of her name, the pup leapt up closer to her pillow, and stared with tilted head, heartily wagging her tail.

The cushion of her mattress and the lilac curtains brought her to the reality that this was her room. The memory from last night—being wrapped in a blanket and leaning against Wade—made her cheeks redden. She kissed him! She blamed the wine cooler. She would’ve never done that if she hadn’t been so relaxed. Falling for Wade . . . it was some silly fantasy. In a few days, she’d head back to Omaha, never to see him again. How long would it take before he forgot her completely? A couple of months? Weeks?

Trish tossed the covers off her legs and rushed to the writing table for her phone, relieved to find it was barely seven. She feared she’d missed her breakfast date, though Wade hadn’t been shy about waking her before.

How had she gotten back to her room? She didn’t remember walking through the woods, even groggily. Surely Wade hadn’t carried her the entire way on that dark, uneven trail.

Shadow hopped off the bed, ears perked with interest. Perhaps she thought they were going on an adventure, now that she was standing and running her hands through her hair. “How did you end up here?” she asked, but Shadow just watched her with that goofy smile, tongue lolling.

Next to her phone sat a rolled-up extension cord. Trish nearly squealed with glee. She could write for half an hour before she absolutely had to rinse off in the shower. She plugged in the cord and strung it toward her laptop on her bed. Shadow sprawled out on the rug beside her as Trish typed away.
