When Jaxson lay down beside me, I stiffened for a moment.
His breath lingered near my car.
He stood too close.
Jaxson noticed the flutter of my eyelashes, lay down in silence, and turned off the light.
From beginning to end, I was never exposed.
I fell asleep at some point and woke up with my head resting on his arm.
