What was I thinking, Gemariah thought? He had no idea what had changed in him, but when he woke up with her in his arms, he liked it. He liked it too much! There were too many things wrong with what had happened last night. First of all, he never let a woman sleep over. That should have been the first indication that things were changing too fast. Then, to actually cuddle… He cringed at the thought of the word. What was wrong with him? That was not him; a man that had lived many years and never gotten romantically attached. If she had noticed something was off with him that morning, she didn’t show it. Instead of being shy and uncomfortable, something he thought she would have been, she had never looked more at ease. They both got dressed and he made them a quick breakfast before driving her home. They kissed each other goodbye with a promise to see each other for her doctor appointment at lunch. Nothing awkward, nothing weird, just two people making plans for later. Every minute, he wished he could read her emotions.
