“I’m shocked that my sister is letting me move in,” Becca
said quietly as she packed up her suitcases. “I thought she hated me.”
“Bec, you really think she would turn her back on you? I
know that you and Maureen have had issues over your mom, but she’s still your
sister and she wants you to be safe,” Bella said, hugging her friend. It had
been three weeks since that night where Jimmy attacked Becca. She had stayed
with us since then, but she missed the solace of her own place. With a loan
from Bella and me, she got out of her lease, trashing everything in her
apartment. Reaching out to her sister, Maureen had sobbed when Becca told her
about Jimmy’s attack. They reconnected and Maureen opened up her home to Becca
to get her back on her feet.
“I’m grateful for that,” Becca smiled. “I’m grateful for
both of you.” She smiled softly, looking at Bella and turning to me. “Thank you
for…”
“Becca, I love you. We had the room,” Bella smiled. “Now,
what time is Maureen coming to get you?”
“Oh, Maureen isn’t coming. Danny is picking me up,” Becca
blushed.
“Danny?” I asked, arching a brow. “The doctor?”
“Yeah,” Becca said. “He wanted to take me out for lunch
before dropping me off at my sister’s in Tacoma.” She closed the suitcase and
gave Bella a sheepish grin. “We’ve talked every night since that party. He’s a
good guy and he knows that all I can offer is friendship, but he seems pretty
much perfect.”
“I’m glad. Don’t be afraid of him,” Bella smiled.
“I’ll probably err on the side of caution, but we’ll see,”
Becca said. The phone rang and I went to pick it up. It was Dr. Parker, Danny.
I told the security guard to let him upstairs. Cracking open the door, I told
Becca that her ride was here. She beamed, a crimson blush covering her skin.
