But she hadn't expected any of that to happenlast night.
But wow…it had.
It had definitely made the night go faster. She hadn't felt a bit of anxiety the entire time.
She laughed softly to herself and rolled to look at his side of the bed.
It was empty.
Well, Theo seemed like the type to get up and make coffee. If not breakfast. She would definitely not mind having that hot man serving her breakfast in bed.
She also wouldn't mind having breakfast with him in his cute little cabin kitchen.
She swung her legs over the side of the bed and looked around. She hadn't been wearing any clothes when she'd come over here. Her towel was draped over the chair in the corner, and while it was probably dry by now, she needed a little bit more than that to wear at this point.
There was a t-shirt hanging over the other arm of the chair, so she grabbed that and pulled it over her head. It hit her mid-thigh, the sleeves hanging to her elbows, covering everything necessary for the time being.
She lifted the front of it to her nose and took a long inhale. It also smelled like Theo. It was soft, worn, and was the deep hunter green that the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries used for their non-uniform garb.
While this had the insignia of the department on the back, it was for more casual wear rather than what they wore when on the clock.
She might have to steal this.
She ran her fingers through her hair as she headed for the bathroom. She scrubbed her face and swished some mouthwash she found in his cabinet around in her mouth. Then she went out to the kitchen to find him.
But the cabin was empty. Completely empty. The note on the counter simply read,I’ll be back later, T.
He was gone. Until later. Whenever that was.
Okay.
She took a breath. Then made herself walk calmly to the window.
His truck was gone.
He wasgone.
And the only way forherto leave was gone.
She took another deep breath, pressing her hand to her chest.
What was going on? Why had he left without waking her up? He knew how she felt about being here without a way out. And she was supposed to leave today.Hewas supposed to take her out of here.Today.
But…she had the keys. He'd given them to her. Either he had another set, or he'd gone next door to the other cabin to get them.
He’d made the choice to go clear over to the other cabin, find the keys, write her a note, and leave without waking her up.
And now she was stranded here.
Her heart rate continued to accelerate as her thoughts spun.
He said he’d be back later. Of course, he would be. He lived here.
But he knew that she felt stuck here. She’d told him about her anxietyandwhy she felt that way. Then he’d given her those keys so she’d feel like shecouldleave if she needed to.
What about now?
What about how she feltnow?
