Lying out on the towels Lucas felt his face warm at the memory of last night. He couldn’t believe he had actually said that but even more surprising was when Sarah reached over and ran her fingers through his hair. His scalp still tingled with the memory. What would she think if he asked her to do it again? Though they had fallen asleep apart she had moved closer sometime in the middle of the night. They woke up entangled with each other again. He couldn’t say he minded her snuggled up against him but it worried him she was having nightmares. Lucas knew Sarah preferred to push things to the side and move on rather than think about them but he didn’t think that would help her in this case. She insisted she was fine but he now understood that was her way of dealing with certain situations.
