Please, Don't Leave Me

“Why don’t we head back to the cabin? You get a hot shower while I make you something to eat before bed.” Granger smiled down at her.

“That does sound good,” Ashleigh replied, “but I did come out to get some fresh air. I’m not very tired. I slept most of the way here.”

Granger looked around.

“It’s kinda late, Ash,” he said quietly.

“I know, but I’m just going to go for a quick run, just to shake the day away.”

“A run?” he asked.

“Yea.”

“You’re going to shift?” he asked, looking at her with serious eyes.

“Yea?” she replied, unsure of why he seemed concerned.

“Ashleigh. Are you kidding me right now?”

Granger let out an exasperated sigh.

“That jerk is still around here somewhere, and you want to get naked out in the open?”

“What?” Ashleigh was shocked by his assumption. “You know that wasn’t what I meant!”

“Did you guys go for a lot of runs together?” Granger looked at her with an angry expression.
