I grab my coat and start walking out the door. I try to

call Emma but she isn’t answering. I don’t say anything to

anybody. I have to get to her. Now.

I finally pull back up to the cabin. I feel like shit for

being gone this long. Man she is probably scared out of her

mind. I walk inside and not a light in the house is on. This

is not like Emma. She always wants to leave a light on. I

pull out my gun and I start to search the cabin. I swing

around the living room…nothing. I work my way around

the kitchen and through the dining room…nothing. My

heart starts beating faster as I approach my bedroom. I push

open the door and there she is.

Emma’s asleep. She is in a pair of panties and in one of my

t-shirts. I swear she looks like a goodness. I put my gun

back at my side as I walk over to her. I pull the blanket up

over her, brush the hair away from her face and give her a

kiss on the head. “Sweet dreams, Babygirl,” I whisper

before I walk out the room.

“Vince…?”Emma says in a yawn “Is that you?”

“Yes, baby girl it’s me.” I walk back over and sit on

the edge of the bed.

“You said that you would only be gone for a couple

hours. I thought you just left me here.”I can feel the

residual panic in her tone.
