CHAPTER 13:  Terry

 

 

 

Terry woke suddenly but didn’t move, conscious of the child sleeping on his chest. It felt so familiar, so right but it was terrible. He sat up, careful not to wake the baby.

“Hi.” Maggie stood in the kitchen doorway, looking rumpled and tired but well.

“Hey. How are you feeling?” He placed the baby on the couch, propping pillows on the side, to keep him from falling. “Let me get you something to eat.”

“I’m fine.”

He walked over to her, wanting to hold her. Not fuck her, just hold her and he knew right then that he had to leave. He stopped a few feet from her. “You sure?”

She nodded her eyes warm with something he didn’t want to see. “Thank you for everything.”

“Yeah. No problem. If you’re sure you’re feeling better, I should go.”

“You don’t have to.” She gazed at him with warmth and…God help him affection or something more.

His heart raced like he was running for his life. “I should. I haven’t been to work in a few days.”

“Oh, okay.” The affection in her eyes was concealed now.

Shit, he was hurting her but he couldn’t stop. It was better her than him.

“Okay. Bye.” He hurried to the door. “See you around.” Her eyes widened and he cringed. It was like he’d hit her, but coward that he was, he called his dog and almost ran to his car.
