I cared for Jenny every moment I could while we were at the hotel. I kept her company, I tended to her burn wounds, I rubbed her joints when they hurt, and it really made her happy. One night we were on the bed in the room, she had her head on my chest again. I stared at the ceiling trying not to think about Monty.
“Frankie, is something troubling you?”
“Not at all. Why do you ask?”
“I dont know, I just had this feeling that something was bothering you.”
I picked up her head and looked into her big brown eyes.
“I’ve never been better.” I said softly.
She and I leaned in and kissed as we usually did. Oh how when she kissed me, it felt like I could do anything.
