I listened to the rhythm of her breathing until it evened out in sleep. A quick look at my watch told me that it was already close to three in the morning. She had to be tired so that should give me a solid five to do what I had to do.
It had taken me longer to get here because she was on the back of my ride, but if I make the trip solo it would take me half the time. Back and forth, in and out, this s**t could not wait.
I made doubly sure that she was out, left a message just in case she woke up before I got back, secured the door and headed out. No one was getting past that door I made sure of that s**t.
I hadn't planned on doing this now, had thought I'd put some more distance between us, get the whole story s**t like that. But what she'd shared with me tonight was more than enough.
