437 Late Night Comms

437 Late Night Comms (Winona)

Later that night, I curl up in bed, one eye on the baby monitor and the other on my phone. My laptop sits beside me, tabs open with properties and travel options, but I can't focus.

My thoughts are a tangled mess, and texting Jayden is the only way to untangle them.

I feel like it's safe. Staff don't stay here at the cottage overnight.

We'd agreed to debrief each other every evening. No matter what. It will help me keep my ducks in a row, or at least in some form of organized panic.

I need this ultrasound fast, so we can get out of here and let Jayden and Viktor do their thing. I type him a

message.

W: Hey. Got a sec?

It doesn't take long before the little dots appear.

JAlways. What's up?

W: Dr said I need an ultrasound ASAP. Big Q is... how tf do we make it happen w/o her finding out?

J: We'll figure it out. I'll make it happen.

So simple, like it's nothing. I know it's not nothing. But I do believe he will manage it. Lately he is doing exactly what he says he'll do.

I mean I guess he always has, but he's different now. His decisions are his decisions, nor suggested or orchestrated by anyone else. Jayden knows who he is and what he wants. That much is clear. I need to have that self-assurance as well.

W: You say that like it's easy. She probs has spies watching the damn parking lots.

J: Let her watch. I'll set it up where she can't see a thing. Trust me..

Trust him. I want to-no, I do trust. But Judy... Judy terrifies me in a way I can't put into words. She always has. This is all about me standing up to her.
