Small Steps...
Continued from Here
Finally Wesley came in with me from the roof, the words before we'd fled the rain still ringing in my ears.
"Thank you for coming back Lilah. I can't promise you...anything."
Since when had I ever asked him for more than he could offer? I'd known the score, even back then. No promises. Hell, we'd even made a bet over who'd be the first to call our 'thing' a relationship. And now, it wasn't much different. I had no hold over him, and vice versa. It still annoyed me though that Eve'd had that signed dollar bill. How had she got it from Wesley?
I lead the way down the corridor and finally selected the first room that looked decent.
"I'll have someone bring us some new clothes and a shaving kit for the morning. Did you want to eat anything?" I asked as I moved into the room and started removing my sodden clothing. There was a radiator by the window that would help dry out our things if we wanted. I'd realised that I was suddenly famished. I suppose that being asleep for a year was long enough to develop the munchies.
"Who's going to have the first shower? If the water runs out I'll get cranky." I teased as I undressed.
