You Are My One and Only

Patricia nearly jolted in response. The two of them had merely slept in one bed. Sleep in its literal sense, not that kind of sleep!

“I just fell asleep in his bed last night, Old Mrs. Arnold. Nothing happened. No one has to take responsibility for anything.”

As if she would want to hold Isaac responsible for anything when she was already fearful of seeing him!

With that, she withdrew her hand at once. “I’d better get going, Old Mrs. Arnold. I still have my three kids waiting for me at home. They’re all so worried about me now.”

Patricia’s mind went black when she blurted that out, so she had no clue of what she just said at all. But whatever it was, it would do as long as it allowed her to leave that instant.

She had to slip away before Isaac came down, or an even bigger medical bill might be waiting for her.

More than that, she used his arm as a pillow the whole night last night. It’d be half-maimed at this point, wouldn’t it?! And then, there was the nose bleed. Who’d have thought her accidental whack in his face the second she stirred would give him a nose bleed?!

Ah!!! Isaac would surely screw her over for good. She’d be an idiot not to run.
