Chapter Six
Catherine stared out of her bedroom window at the clear blue sky. She already knew that it was going to be a warm day out. There wasn't a cloud in the sky, and the sun was bright over the horizon.
She sighed and wrapped her arms around her middle, remembering the events of the night before. Her skin still burned from Warrick's hands roaming over it, and her lips swelled just from thinking about their sultry kiss. Her heart started pounding in her chest at the sensations.
Warrick asked her if she wanted to get something to eat again after the next shift. She accepted happily, still riding on the waves of pleasure and excitement after their kiss. They shared one last, lingering kiss before he left to go home. She went to bed feeling warm and complete. Her head swam with dizziness as she let her sleepiness overwhelm her, her heart feeling what she hadn't allowed herself to feel in a long time.
Now that it was morn, she could think clearly. She and Warrick had developed something new and deep, and that in it of itself had both petrified her and excited her. Her relationship with her daughter, however, had deteriorated, and she had no idea how to mend it. She hoped that her relationship with Warrick would change her outlook a little bit. It definitely changed Catherine's and she now felt optimistic.
Catherine climbed back into bed and relaxed into her pillows, hopes and memories filling her mind as she fell asleep again.
