“How did you sleep?”
Relief skittered through her belly. “Good. I’m sorry.”
“For falling asleep?”
“On you.”
One side of his mouth lifted. “I fell asleep too. We were obviously tired.”
And had found comfort in each other.
She pushed up, immediately missing the warmth of his chest against her cheek. “Did I snore?”
This time, he offered a full, devastating smile as he sat up. “Do you think I’d tell you if you did?”
Dammit, did that mean yes?
Obviouslyhedidn’t snore, because she hadn’t woken at all. “You know what’s annoying?”
“How ridiculously attractive I am?”
She chuckled, because yes, that was annoying. “I can’t find a single flaw in you.”
“I have plenty.”
“Name one.”
“I put laundry in the machine, then forget about it.”
“Who doesn’t?”
“I end up rewashing the same load about four times.”
“Again, very common.”
“Okay. I’m constantly on Joel’s ass about how much he snacks, even though it’s none of my damn business. And, probably my most annoying trait…I change the thermostat without telling anyone because I figure it’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission.”
She shook her head. “Deal breakers. All of them. In fact, now I’m not sure we should ever watch documentaries together again. Especially after that thermostat confession.”
“I’m not sure you have the willpower to make that call.”
She laughed.
He shifted to the edge of the couch. “In all seriousness, I really enjoyed last night.”
Sleeping with her? Well, not sleeping in that way…just sleeping. “I did too.”
“Do you have work?”
“Yeah, but I don’t start until…” She looked up at the clock on the wall. “It’s eight thirty?”
“Yeah. We slept late.”
“Yeah, we slept late.” She jumped up. “I have to go.”
“Will anyone realize if you’re late?”
“Lottiewill realize. That woman’s a pain in my ass, and if she suddenly mysteriously went missing from this town, I would not be sad.”
