Ethan went quiet. He realized he was just talking from the sidelines, not really understanding what it was like for the others.
Laura started to stir and opened her eyes.
“Laura, I’m sorry. Did we wake you up?” Isabella asked, her voice full of concern.
Then Isabella noticed that Laura was covered with a man’s jacket. She glanced at Ethan, a question in her eyes.
Ethan jumped in to explain. “It’s not mine. If I had a jacket, I’d put it on you, not Laura. That belongs to Jesse. He dropped by to congratulate you both, just like I did.”
Laura blinked, looking a little lost. She glanced around, trying to get her bearings. “Where’s Jesse?” she asked. She didn’t remember him coming in. And he’d even put his jacket over her... What if he hadn’t been a good guy?
Ethan said, “He’s outside, waiting for someone to bring him some clothes.”
Without another word, Laura picked up Jesse’s jacket and left the room.
Isabella stayed behind. She yawned, then told Ethan, “I need to wash my face and wake up a bit.”
