154. Sterling
Chapter 154
Sterling
I feel like such a prick.
I really am busy. Trips into town, avoiding Courtney… It’s hard work.
But I need some time for my damn hands to heal up. I don’t want her asking me more questions.
I type in my code and unlock Courtney’s door.
I managed another day without talking to her. Always had someone else near me when she was around so we were never one-on-one.
But I can’t hold out any longer.
I’m leaving tomorrow with another one of the crews. And I thought I could leave without touching my girl. But I was wrong.
So fucking wrong.
I make sure to close the door quietly behind me and leave my boots in front of the dryer.
Then I strip on my way to Courtney’s bunk .
Her lights turned off two hours ago.
I’m sure she’s fast asleep.
I just want to hold her.
Breathe her in.
Feel her warmth.
