Breathe Me
“I PULLED open the door, wrapping my robe around me tighter. No one ever visited me so late at night. Only Sasha, maybe, but he was in the bedroom at the moment. Who else but Joss would be knocking on my door so early in the morning? But why hadn’t she used her key? Maybe she’d lost it.
I flattened my hair, which was in a matted mess from the night before. Sasha had been spending almost every waking hour he had with me. Even Cam had taken up residence at my place for part of the week.
But it wasn’t Joss standing with Leah outside my door that day. The poor girl looked spooked, her red eyes swollen from crying. I’d let her rush into my arms, wrapping hers around me so tightly and feeling her silent sobs explode as she soaked my shirt. The man with her turned out to be a police officer, his badge shiny and stark against his khaki shirt. His Metro badge was sewn securely to his shoulder, and his shirt was bulky, like he wore heavy Kevlar underneath it.
