After another few hours enjoying the presence of Savvy, I pull myself up.
âWhere are you going?â she asks, clawing for me as I leave the couch. Technically, weâve been watching TV and movies all this time. I say âtechnicallyâ because I donât think either of us were paying much attention to whatever was on the screen.
âItâs getting dark. We probably should go and deal with your car.â
She pouts. Itâs both cute and heartbreaking at the same time. âDo we have to?â
âI mean, itâs the whole reason I took you in last night. Itâs honestly kind of odd that we both went and forgot about it.â
âItâs become a whole lot less important since then is all.â
I smile at her. âYou enjoy being stranded in a cabin in the woods?â
âI enjoy being stranded in a cabin in the woods as long as youâre here, Hunter.â
She sits up on the sofa, looking meekly at her hands.
âIâve enjoyed having you here, too, Savvy. But I donât want to assume youâre happy just staying here forever.â
âYou shouldnât assume, Hunter. Maybe I am happy just staying here forever.â
I chuckle. âYouâve only known me a day. You really want to be here forever? You havenât heard me on a really bad day yet.â
She crosses her arms. âWhatâs a really bad day for you?â
âUh... I donât know. Maybe I get a bad headache. And get grumpy till it passes?â I rub my chin.
âAre you just trying to get me to leave, Hunter? If you want that, I kinda get it. Youâre used to living alone.â
âItâs not that either. Look, I know itâs been wonderful. But I just donât want to rush things. I feel things for you, Savvy. Strong things. Iâve had the hots for girls before, but Iâve never had feelings this strong to go along with those. Youâre different. Youâre special.â
She takes a deep breath and nods. âYouâre special, too, Hunter. I donât think the break from my life alone would explain the joy Iâm feeling. Or even the sex. Thereâs a coziness, a completeness that Iâve only felt with you, Hunter.â
I said everything short of the four-letter L word, and she did too.
Sheâs not only hot and funny, but sheâs got a good head on her shoulders. As if I need more reasons to like her.
âIâm not telling you to leave, Savvy. Iâll never tell you to leave. I guess itâs more of a note of practicality.â I rub my chin again. âListen, you just chill here for a bit. Iâll be gone for longer than a minute, but I have faith that somehow, some way, youâll survive this, babe.â
âI donât know. Sounds hard. Where are you going?â
âIâm just going to make a quick trip to the gas station. Fill up my truck, and fill up my jerrican. Iâll come back here, and weâll enjoy the night together, in whatever way we want that to mean. Then tomorrow weâll go get the car and make a plan on how to get it back to your dad.
