“Cord,” she said and I heard some pain in her voice.
“Well, you take the couch then. It’s a comfortable couch. Look at it.”
She looked. “It is a comfortable couch.” She dropped her bag to the floor and managed a watery smile. “All right.”
By the time I returned with a thin blue quilt I’d ripped off my own bed, Saylor was already curling up.
“Thanks,” she whispered with soft gratitude as I covered her. She looked so sweet and vulnerable that an actual lump rose in my throat and I shook away the feeling. Saylor was just some chick crashing on my couch for the night. She didn’t mean a thing to me.
Then she propped herself up on one elbow. Her shirt slid carelessly off her shoulder and showed the top of her right breast, which caused something else, something a little harder, to rise.
“You’re welcome,” I said tersely, turning to leave.
“No, really, Cord. Thank you.”
I stared at her for a few more seconds as she pulled the blanket over her body and closed her eyes.
“Good night, Saylor.”
