Worried Sick

Nash and Tess.
He had to admit that he was worried about her. She made him absolutely crazy sometimes, but he did care about her. The idea that she had supposedly never been sick had him worried even more. If it was true she either had an amazingly good immune system that had kept her from getting sick and that it had been thrown completely off somehow or it meant that her immune system would have no clue what to do. Either way she was miserable and he needed to do what he could to get her better.
She had been completely against him leaving her there. He could not decide how to take that. It could be either a good thing or a bad one. Either she cared about him greatly and did not want him to leave, or there was something going on. He had to go with the second choice. She had been afraid to let him leave her, scared that something was going to happen to her while he was gone. With a man accused of rape being after her he would have to worry. It was a long shot, but could Todd Manning have possibly followed them to California? He had been careful to make sure they did not leave a trail for anyone to follow. He had bought their tickets with cash, avoided talking to anyone unless he had to, and had even given fake names to one or two people along the way.
He would have to be careful, have to watch and make sure that nothing happened to her. His dreams were just beginning to come true and there was no way that he was about to let them fall apart. He loved her too much for that, and he would soon have to admit it to himself and to her that he did love her.
