I shake my head. “Everything else is fine.”
Better than fine.
“Okay,” he whispers, his mouth brushing against mine. “Now, show me how you work your magic.”
I let out a soft chuckle, “You seriously want to watch me edit photos?”
“Yeah. It seems fun.”
“Okay, it’s your funeral.”
I get back to my computer, editing a couple more photos before I look down, only to find Prescott passed out.
“So much for that.”
I brush my fingers over his scruffy cheek as I watch him sleep. I’ve never seen him so… soft. So vulnerable.

With that, I close my eyes and let sleep claim me too.

I’m not going to do something that you don’t want me to, Jade.
I’m not sure what or how exactly, but it did, and I don’t know what to think about it.
Giving her one last look, I slowly disentangle my arms from her body, making sure not to wake her up as I get to my feet. My knee groans in protest, but I don’t let it stop me as I get up and grab my shirt, slipping it over my head and grabbing my duffle.
