“You would like me to meet him?” she asked softly.
“Yes,” Garrett replied as he brushed her off her face. The silence filled the room as they stared at each other in the low light of the room now. The couch was near the furthest place in the room from the light in the corner of the room. Though it was open, this was a corner that was just for him to relax and unwind during the day. He knew the placement was off, but it worked for him. “I think you, out of everyone in the world, need one person who can show you how to love again.&rd
“Come on.” He said as he nudged her to stand.“To where?” she asked, and he looked her over as she thought something was wrong.
Garrett started to come back to the world, and he hit the water release button because the water had cooled to the point of being cold. When he looked down to Sara, who was still resting on his chest, she lifted her head slightly, but even that seemed to be too much for her to do. Garrett had to admit though she was not experienced at all, she was a very quick learner. He waited until the water had drained enough that he could feel her shiver slightly. He then nudged her to a standing position, where he found himself admiring her body for a minute or two. Then he got up and h
Garett felt nothing but complete protectiveness for the woman who was sleeping next to him as they lay there in the dark. It had been some time since he had a woman near him, but this one was so different from the ones he had in the past. The connection that was there was forged through years of knowing each other and the simple fact that they both hated one person though he wasn’t sure if she really hated Joyce until tonight.

She thought she was completely broke when it came to men, and there he was, trying to make everything better. She knew there always had been something different about this one male that was in her life. She didn’t know why, though.
The cool air in the house was all around her. She made the call and hoped he was somewhere where he could take it. The answer was, “I was wondering when you would finally call me.”“Hi, Uncle Tony.” She said with a slight laugh. “It has been a while.”
“What happened in that year?” Garett asked, knowing that he was breaking the dramatic silence that had filled the room.“That was the year everything started to happen for the couple,” Tony said as he seemed to change his voice, and the two people could hear the pride there within the tone.
“What are they barking at?” Sara asked as she looked at Garett. The dogs were trying to get at something in the front yard.“I
“What is this about?” Sara asked with a laugh in her voice.“Just making a point.” He said as he moved up the stairs. He was taking her to where she belonged more than ever before. He wanted her to relax and then sleep for the rest of the night. He knew that she had a rough time before.
