The next morning Jude awoke to the tantalizing smell of bacon and eggs. She cautiously pulled herself out of bed and tugged and navy blue hooded sweatshirt over her head.

"Morning," Tommy greeted her.

"Hi," she said, remembering all the times she had woken up to a homemade breakfast while she was dating Tommy and living with him.

"Are you hungry?"

"Starving actually." Her thoughts began to wander back to last night as she sat on a stool, which was situated in front of the cupboard. She was hoping Tommy had miraculously forgotten everything from the previous night.

Tommy placed an over easy egg along with two thick slices of bacon on Jude's plate and handed it to her.

"Are you trying to get me fat Quincy?"

"Oh puhlease."

Jude gave him a slightsmile before taking a bit of the bacon.

After breakfast Jude went into the living room and lounged on the couch. She flipped on the telivision as she felt Tommy plop down beside her."

"Whatcha watching?" Tommy asked as he lifted her legs and put them on his lap.

"Beats me. I just turned it on smarty pants."

"Ouch," Tommy feigned.

"You big baby," she sighed as she saw a news report on the television.

"Jude Harrison Andrews who was thought to have been murdered is now alive. Reports have been made about her estranged husband, Jamie Andrews, kidnapping her and transporting her to Cuba. At airtime, Ms. Harrison is said to be in stable condition."

"Well now everyone knows I'm not dead," she said quietly.

"People want to know Jude. You're a celebrity, and that's just what the press does."

"Well at least they're not calling me a liar anymore."

Tommy reached for her hand and slipped his fingers in between hers. "Are you sure you're okay Jude?"

"I'm fine Tommy. Last night was just a little setback. I'm perfect really."

"Somehow I don't believe you..."

"Tommy, I don't want to talk about it okay?"

"Trust me Jude."

"I did the last time you said that and look where it got me!" She instantly regretted her words after they slipped out. "Tommy I-"

"No, it's fine. I did tell you to trust me before and it blew up in your face didn't it? Just, don't worry about it Jude okay? You don't have to trust me at all," he said as he walked away from her.

"Tommy, wait!" she yelled as she followed him into his room.

"What?"

"I didn't mean for it to come out like that. My nerves are a bit on edge lately. Please don't be mad."

"I'm not mad."

"Than what do you call this?"

"I feel like I let you down Jude. I promised you that if you trusted me, Jamie would never hurt you again, but I let him take you."

"You didn't let him Tommy! And besides, you were the one who came and got me."

"I said I'd protect you Jude!"

"Knock it off Tommy, okay? I have enough to worry about without you going all drama queen on me!"
