Cam glares at me.
Dumb question.
Someone broke into her apartment, trashed it, and stole her money.
“I just don’t have a safe place to go to anymore. Not that this place made me feel safe to begin with,” Cam mutters.
My heart aches for her. I hope she feels safe with me.
“I think it’s time you move in with us. For good. You don’t need this apartment,” I insist.
Cam wipes her tears away and looks at me.
“Are you sure? I don’t want to impose?”
A laugh bubbles in my throat but I swallow it.
Impose.
Cam could never impose. She is an integral part of Maisey and my life now. Not only is she Maisey’s nanny and my fake fiancée but she has grown to be a dear friend of mine.
“Of course, I want you to have a safe place and you will always be safe with me.”
Cam’s eyes meet mine and something flashes in her eyes. I can’t quite put my finger on what but she leans in and my eyes close.
I feel her warm breath against my lips but I pull back at the sound of a throat clearing.
“Are you Camdyn Schriefer?” A high pitched voice asks.
Looking up, I see a police officer standing in front of us.
“Yes, I am,” Cam says standing up.
“I am officer Yang. I got your police report and am here to take pictures and a statement.”
Cam nods.
“Do you want me to go with you?” Ronnie asks from behind his desk.
“I think you’ve done enough,” Cam says.
“I’ll be down to take your statement once I’m done in the apartment,” Officer Yang informs Ronnie.
Cam and I show Officer Yang Cam’s apartment and she takes photos.
“Did you move anything?” Officer Yang asks.
I swallow, “Just to check to see what was missing.”
Officer Yang hums before she continues to take pictures.
Cam and I watch from the doorway so as to not disrupt the crime scene any more. Cam’s arms are crossed and I can tell she is tense so I wrap my arm around her. She cuddles into my arms as we watch the officer take her photos.
“I think that will do it,” Officer Yang says. “Why don’t we head downstairs to talk and I will get your statements.”
Heading downstairs, Cam takes my hand in hers. My palms are slick with sweat from the day's stress but Cam still holds on tight to me.
Officer Yang pulls Cam aside to take her statement and I go to Ronnie.
