Chapter 100: Wyatt

Abby abruptly pulled out of his arms, rolling out of bed without making eye contact, and began throwing her clothes on. "I need to go home and take a shower and get ready for work," she said, staring at the far wall, jerking her clothes on by touch alone. "I'm working the 3 to 11 shift today, so I won't be able to go with you out to Adam's place." She was awkward and fumbling, refusing to meet his eyes, and Wyatt knew that her "Screw the world; I'm going to do what is best for me" attitude had disappeared. She was back to caring, and in a big way.

He sat up in bed, pulling the sheets up around his waist, suddenly not comfortable being naked in front of the woman he'd just made love to, twice. "Thanks for letting me know," he said cooly, trying to act nonchalant. If she didn't care about what they'd shared, neither did he.

Right?

She jerked her head and then left, hurrying down the stairs and out the door. Back to her life. Back to being nothing but friends.
