Chapter 10
"How long do you think it'll take them to find us?"
Will thought she'd fallen asleep. Her words roused him from his dreaming. He knew he shouldn't but he'd been thinking about what comes next. Tomorrow. Next week. A year from now. Frankie said she'd only promise him tomorrow but tomorrow was almost over.
"Well we've got a few hours before Jai enables the remote access. Maybe by tomorrow afternoon?"
Frankie sighed.
"That soon?"
"It has to happen eventually."
Frankie sighed again.
"I know."
Her voice was so small. Will stroked her cheek and tipped her head up so he could look at her.
"Nothing has to change you know."
"Everything will change."
Will looked deep into her eyes. His heart dropped at what he saw there.
"You promised me tomorrow. You never said how many."
Frankie dropped her eyes for a minute then looked at him again.
"I could promise you every tomorrow for the rest of our lives but we both know the rest of the world is going to screw it up."
"Not if we don't let it."
Frankie knew Will was just being his honest self. She loved him for it. She just wished she was as sure about it as he was.
Will pulled the blankets over them.
"We should get some sleep. Tomorrow might be a bumpy day."
Frankie nodded. She pulled herself up to his face and kissed him.
"Good night Will."
"Good night Francesca."
Frankie curled into his chest and tried to push away the doubts creeping into her head.
