The next few days, Jude was anxious and nervous, constantly jumping whenever the phone rang or someone showed up at the door. Tommy and Noelle noticed, but neither said anything, for fear that she would snap. Neither wanted to be on the receiving end of THAT!
Jude knew that Tommy and Noelle suspected something was up, but she was still afraid to tell them. Tommy would be furious. More then furious. She didn't know if she could handle Tommy being upset with her. They were so happy! Why did Speed have to ruin things? Mason had yelled at her, telling her she had to tell Tommy and Noelle. Jude was convinced that she could handle the situation herself.
Tommy was worried about Jude. She had been acting really withdrawn in the past days. He and Noelle had talked, and Tommy had decided on a plan.
He walked into the kitchen to see Jude on her laptop.
"What cha up to?" Tommy asked, walking over to her. Jude clicked off whatever she had been doing.
"Nothing." Tommy kissed her tenderly.
"I've missed you this last few days." Jude nodded, looking away.
"Yeah, I know I've been out of it." Tommy placed a hand over hers.
"Well I've been thinking of a way to fix that." Jude looked at him surprised.
"Yeah, how?" Tommy held up a brochure. Jude reached for it, staring at it. "What is this?" She asked.
"It's a lake about an hour north of Toronto. I was thinking that maybe we could rent a cabin up there for a week and just relax, spend some time alone." Jude smiled.
"That sounds great, really it does, but what about Noelle?" Jude asked. Tommy grinned.
"We already talked it over, and she agreed to stay with Katie for a week. I've got it all planned out." Jude looked at Tommy, who was so eager to spend some time with her. She smiled.
"Okay, I guess. Since you've spent so much time planning this." Tommy smiled giving her a quick kiss.
"You won't regret this!" he cried, running out of the room. Jude laughed shaking her head. She wasn't so sure.
