She was tired. He could see the dark circles that were under her eyes still. The time in the hospital was not easy nor a vacation for her. He led her back to the couches and turned on the television so she could watch something as she rested. Life for the two of them was not going to be easy. He was working on that as well. He had heard of a few ways to make some extra money. He was willing to do whatever he needed to so he could provide for the two new people in his life.She rested her head against the pillow on the side of the couch, and he just snuggled her closer to him. He wrapped a blanket that was there on the couch around them, and he just rested along with her. This was the closest to real relaxation he had since she was in the accident.She was there with him. His former student and now friend had agreed to stay there and forge something new together. What that was still remained unknown, and he was okay with that. Time would be the thing to te

  “In fact, this leads to another conversation we do need to have. Though I think I need to feed you.” Gabe said.“I’m not hungry, though.” She said, and he looked at her with a leveling look.“Regardless of whether you are hungry or not, I think the baby probably is,” Gabe said as he stared at her, that it seemed like he was staring into her soul.“I will cook something in a minute then.” Bree said, “But you were saying first?”“Where do you want to sleep?” he asked.“What?” She asked as she looked at him, confused. She had a room that had a bed in it as far as she knew. She had slowly and meant it. He knew that she thought.“Bree, you could have anywhere in the apartment. It is ours now, not just mine. But I want you to think about where you want to sleep.” He said. “Things can happen on you

 Gabe knew that the meal he had just had was probably one of the best he had in months. Bree was better than most chefs he knew, and she was so good with hardly anything. He knew what she needed to do with her life. Though he would hold off on that for a bit. He was getting ideas the more he knew about her.This girl had been left on her own and forced to grow up way too fast. Somehow he knew that she was going to end up teaching him instead of the other way around. She had disappeared into the deeper apartment as he cleaned up the dishes, and then he decided to go and find her. He just wanted to see what she was doing.When he approached the room, he had set up for her, he heard her moving in it. He stood at the door, propped up on the door jam as she had her back to him. She wasn’t talking or doing anything but looking around. She was just looking around, and it seemed to be something that was on her mind. She saw the notebook that

 She laid down on the bed wrapped up in the blanket he had placed there for her right out of the shower. She was so tired still that standing was a weird thing to do. Moving around for more than a few minutes was also hard. She knew she would have to get used to life soon enough. He walked in and chuckled a bit as he looked at her wrapped up like a burrito in the blankets.He flicked the light on for a minute, and then it was off again. Bree heard the water running in the distance, and she fell asleep before he returned. Though she knew when he was there next to her. The mattress dipped under his weight for a minute, and then he settled into a spot. She didn’t know how close he was, but there seemed to be enough room to move for her though she didn’t want to.“Good night Bree.” He said softly. She mumbled something to the same effect, and he again chuckled softly. That was the last she thought of until the light of

 “My ex-girlfriend has been having people call my parents, and they have been following me when I leave the apartment,” Gabe said.“The name of this person?” The officer asked.“Ann Knnorr,” Gabe stated, and the officer looked at him and chuckled.“I see.” The man said. “We have had a few issues with her and that family in the past.”“What issues?” Gabe asked.“We are not at liberty to discuss those.” The man said, “But you aren’t the first to say this.”“The problem is that we can never prove anything.” The second officer spoke up.“Would a recording of her threatening me help?” Gabe asked, and all three people looked at him. he went into the area he had made to be his school area and got the recording. He played for the officers, and both of them nodded.“That will help a lot.”
