Company For The Pickup
Start Reading Nancy’s Story Here.
“Nancy, sweetheart.” Ted nuzzled his cheek into her short, curly hair. “I should get back to my place.” He didn’t want to, boy did he not want to, but it wasn’t right to leave Fawn on her own. She’d be wondering where he was as is.
“Stay a few more minutes.” Nancy wrapped his arm around her body.
“Okay.” A few more minutes wouldn’t hurt. He spooned against her, liking the feeling of her tucked up next to him. “I wish I didn’t have to leave you.”
Sleepy blue eyes looked up at him. “Why do you have to?” He kissed that upturned nose and she smiled. “Aren’t I coming with you?”
