They finished their shopping and headed down to the underground garage. Felicia loaded everything into the trunk, making sure not to leave anything behind.
Once they were both in the car, Felicia glanced over at Jeremy. “Your hand, is it okay? Maybe we should get it checked.”
Jeremy caught that little crease of worry in her brow. He couldn't help a small smile tugging at his lips. “Felicia, just because I got banged up once doesn’t mean I’m falling apart. Really, I’m fine.”
She shook her head, not convinced. “Still, you should be careful. Show me your hand.”
He sighed, but there was no real resistance. Slipping out of his coat, he pushed up the sleeve of his sweater, revealing a strong, lean arm with clean, defined lines—evidence of someone who worked out more than occasionally.
A red mark lingered there, still fresh enough to stand out. Clearly, Mrs. Carey had been enraged.
Felicia’s fingertips brushed over it carefully. She pressed it lightly, watching his face for any sign of pain. Jeremy just watched her, steady and patient, no hint of discomfort.
Dim light spilled in through the windshield, catching them both. He sat there, soft-eyed and focused only on her. She bent over his arm, fully absorbed. The moment she looked up and their eyes met, it felt like the world outside the car faded away.
Felicia let his hand go and smiled. “Looks like you’ll live.”
Jeremy rolled down his sleeve. “Let’s head home.”
She started the engine and drove off. Neither of them noticed the car parked across the row, or the person inside who quietly snapped a photo of that intimate little moment.
After lunch, Greg’s car pulled up out front, with Luke in the passenger seat. They packed up and all drove out to the countryside together.
