The Pumpkin Man
“She pulled a sheet up to cover herself but then realized the reason she’d awoken would force her out of bed. Snuggling back into the warm, snoring body of Nick was not an option. Not for long.
She pushed back the sheets and slipped out of the bed as quietly as she could, trying not to wake him.
