Chapter 16

I think I also slept well because I knew I was surrounded by love, and was completely safe. 4

Morning. I woke up with an elbow in my face and something equally hard but more interesting pressed up against my side. It took me a minute to remember where I was. While I was doing this Jay rolled over and threw a leg over me. Uh oh. I was already way over to the side of his narrow bed anyhow. At home I had—had had—a queen sized bed which I never shared. Not since the cat disappeared. Ugh, why in heck did I have to remember that, or any of it? I had to stifle a sob. I refused to cry. Maybe later it would hit me but right now I was able to keep all that at bay, don’t ask me why. Jay let out a big snort and trumpeted a fart. I then had to stifle a laugh. Shoving his leg off me, I managed to fall right off the bed and landed with a thud on the floor.
