Jess and Leon both spent six weeks in the hospital in Fairbanks. Jess had suffered a severe concussion, a fractured right leg, a broken left wrist, six broken ribs and had needed many stitches for the numerous gashes she had received.
When they were discharged, Leon made a full report to his agency and a few days later went to Jess' home for a barbeque.
"So, where do you live?" Jess asked him. They sat down on the wooden bench in her front yard to eat.
"No where really. I go wherever my agency makes me. I tend to move around a lot," he replied.
"Huh, at least my old agency let me have my own home. Tell you what, I have an extra room, you can live here if you like. That's if you're agency will allow it," said Jess.
"Really? Are you sure?" he asked looking at her.
"Of course. Besides, I'd like to… get to know you a little better," replied Jess smiling.
"Thanks," said Leon.
The two of them kissed, got up and walked inside together.
