Overview: “ARE YOU ALL right?” Jase asked again, holding her against him.
Shannon nodded, rubbing her cheek against his chest. “Tired, and a bit cranky, but physically fine. We don’t know the extent of the damage or when we can reenter the building. At least I had clothes on because I fell asleep reading. Most of the people here are in pajamas and robes. One woman was barefoot. Imagine how cold her feet must be standing on the bare concrete sidewalk. We watched and watched, until the fire was out. Oh, Jase, it was awful.”
“Was anyone hurt?”
“Not that I know of.”
“Be thankful for that. Come on, you’re coming home with me.”
She nodded and waved goodbye to the people at the table.
“I don’t have any clothes to wear to work tomorrow. And I don’t know if water damage has ruined everything I own.”
“We’ll see to all that when daylight arrives. For now, it’s home and into bed with you.”
Shannon was soon in the guest bed she’d used when she first arrived in San Francisco. She snuggled down in the covers, feeling chilled to the bone. Knowing Jase was only a few feet away had her warming up fast. She felt safe and secure and slowly she drifted to sleep.
When she awoke, it was midmorning. She raced from her room, but the rest of the apartment was empty. In the kitchen, propped up by the coffeemaker, was a note from Jase.
“Thought you needed your sleep. Call me when you wake up and I’ll take you shopping. I’ll check with the fire department on the status of your place.” She studied the bold handwriting, recognizing it from all the notes she’d seen over the years. No ending.
She tossed it down and poured herself a cup of coffee. What had she expected, love and kisses?
