Chapter 22- Jane Visits the Past

Jane

Yelping in surprise, I suddenly find myself fully clothed and half submerged in the tub. Ethan’s strong arms are around me for the second time this evening as he cuddles me close, sending all sorts of confusing feelings through my body.

“I thought the idea was to clean things up, not make a bigger mess.” Linda’s amused voice sounded from the doorway.

| glance at Ethan, who is now sound asleep again, clutching me to his chest as if I’m a teddy bear. “Stop teasing and help me!” I hiss at Linda, trying and failing to wriggle free.

It takes both of us to untangle me from Ethan’s arms, with Linda laughing the entire time despite my frequent glares. “The doctor’s on his way.” Linda announced when I’m finally free. “And Ethan could probably use a few items from the penthouse. A change of clothes, toothbrush- that sort of thing. I doubt he’s go ing to be up to going home tonight.”

“What?” | exclaim. “You’re not suggesting I go there, are

you?”

“Jane, either you go there, or his mother or Eve comes here.

It’s the lesser of two evils, babe.”

“We can just buy him new clothes.” I argue.

“In the middle of the night?” Linda reminds me, “besides, someone has to notify them he won’t be coming home tonight, unless you want them to come looking.”

“Fine.” | grumble in frustration. “But I’m not happy about it.”

Arriving at the penthouse is like walking straight into the past. I haven’t been here in years, and I never wanted to return in the first place. Everything looks exactly the same, at least it does until I get into the apartment. The Doorman buzzed me upstairs just like old times, and Even came to the door with a shocked look on her pretty face. “Elise, what on earth are you doing here?” She questions defensively.

“I’m afraid Ethan’s been hurt.” I explain softly.

“What!?” She cries, pressing her hand to her chest.

“He fell and hit his head. The doctor is seeing him now, at my

friend Linda’s, but I need to get him some fresh clothes and toi letries for the meantime.” I sigh.

“What on earth is he doing at Linda’s?” Eve demands, “How did he fall?”
