[ She is very content, happy to let her eyes drift closed and bask in the warmth and afterglow. The bed feels better, less expansive, and empty with him there. It's not the literal sense of having someone in her bed, but the context of it. She and Buckly, James now maybe, the same man regardless had flirted with flirting back and forth. They'd both expressed interest but nothing had ever been made concrete until now. And the way he touched her, the intensity he made her feel wasn't just some one-night stand for her. Even if it only turned out to be one night, emotionally it was not. ]
[ She was used to the quiet, it always took her a few days to get acclimated to going anywhere that was busy at night, she'd been spoiled out here. But it was calming for her, that soft sound of the tide had lulled her to sleep more than a few nights, even some when she had been out fishing overnight with the boys and slept in the boat's small cabin. It was as natural to her as breathing by now. ]
Tomorrow afternoon, they spent the night with their friends and have a birthday party tomorrow. Probably will get them back with a sugar high and demands for the new video game their friend got. [ Because that was life with kids, they always saw the moment and very little further down the road. But she loved her boys more than anything. They'd kept her going when the loss and sadness had been too much. Parents, husband, a brother, she'd lost all of them, but her boys were a constant and they'd kept her from giving in to grief which had been far too tempting. She was strong for them and because of that became stronger herself. It was a concept she would never be able to tell them until they were older but A.J. and Cass saved her life. ]
You're welcome to stay though, they like you. [ And she had promised breakfast, hadn't she? ]
