Callie looked skeptical. “Your hands are
shaking a mile a minute —- do you really
think you’re going to be able to sign charts?”
The  Latina  shook  her  head,  grasping  the
blond’s hands, pulling them away from the pot, 
“Come on, you’re coming home with me.”

Only then,  so  s a f e   in  Callie’s  grasp, could
Teddy feel how hard she was shaking. This last
shift had bee n a  rough one  —  and if she were
being honest with  herself,  she  was  s c a r e d:
scared  to  sleep,  for fear that she might dream.
The nights were always the hardest without him.

              Biting  her  lip in shame, Teddy raised her wide
              green eyes to Callie’s. “Thanks,  but  no thanks.
              I should really stay,  at least until I finish these.”
