Chapter 65

From what Dexter could tell, Colin wasn’t hanging onto any sort of false hope. The fact that Lena made it through the holidays and into the start of spring in pretty good condition was nothing short of a miracle. Colin seemed to have a pretty good grip on that fact that his mom was not going to be making some miraculous recovery.

They spent most of Colin’s winter break over at Lena’s place, which was pretty awesome in and of itself, given they thought it best to sneak their sex. Made them feel like a couple of dopey teenagers when they fucked like rabbits. Or bunnies. Whatever.

Even though Colin had plenty of money in the trust fund set up by him by his father, he still worked a few hours every week at the coffee shop on campus. Lena was very adamant about Colin going right back to his place once the semester started again.
