Rick was the last to go by the time the party was over. Jackie had knocked out on the couch with Nero keeping her company, and after the little girl had been carried into her bed, the guests started filtering out one by one. Rick was the last to leave. Both Daniella and Taylor said he was more than welcome to stay the night, but an appointment the next day pulled him away. When Taylor offered to drive him back to Providence, Chelsea piped up offering her services.

Rick, who had spent the better part of the evening chatting up the waitress when he wasn’t sitting with Taylor, eagerly accepted. Taylor had teased him, nudging him while she winked, but when Rick made a comment that he was always up for babysitting Jack Attack if they needed alone time, the soldier shut right up.

The house was quiet after Taylor waved off Chelsea and Rick from the driveway and made her way back into the beehive. The sound of the dishwasher was already running. She assumed Daniella had already finished up the rest of the cleaning from the kitchen. She took one final sweep of the living room, shutting off each light as she deemed it clear and confirmed her suspicion that Daniella had tidied up the few plates and cups that still littered the tables. The hallway light was the last to go as Taylor moved into the kitchen just as she saw Daniella peek her head into Jackie’s room.

Her palms sweat as she observed Daniella check in on her daughter, and the voice in her head that had started out as Rick’s but slowly faded to her own screamed at her that for once in her goddamn life to do something just for her. The wall held her up for support as she tried to gather the nerve to approach Dani, but before she could even formulate another thought, Daniella closed Jackie’s door gently behind her.

She smiled when she noticed Taylor and raised a curious eyebrow, silently questioning what was running through Taylor’s head. The soldier simply held out her hand, and Daniella latched onto it because it was something they had grown so familiar with in the past week alone that the natural tendency to be close was just as innate in Daniella as it was in Taylor.

Neither woman questioned when they made their way into Daniella’s room, their go-to late-night talking spot when they managed to remember to remove themselves from the couch before falling asleep. Taylor claimed Daniella’s bed was the prime location if the brunette didn’t want to lose the body pillow both women loved. They navigated their way into the room in the dark, Daniella dropping their hands in favor of retreating to the ensuite bathroom as Taylor moved to the corner where her sleep clothes lay folded on top of the dresser.

She changed quickly into her PTs, and the sound of a toilet flushing and the faucet turning on was her cue that she could knock on the door and enter the master bathroom where they both brushed their teeth.
