before the night was through. For now, they lay there together, enjoying the warmth of each others bodies. "Why don't we take a shower together?" Jake asked sometime later. "It's getting late and we still need to order dinner." Tricia kissed him softly. "I'd love to, Jake, but I need to text my parents. I've got to let them know I'm not coming home tonight. Why don't you go ahead and I'll have a look at the menu. I'll be happy to shower with you in the morning." Jake held her hand and kissed her, understanding how hard it would be for her to talk with her folks. "Are you sure you don't want me with you when you do that?" "No, I think it would be better if you weren't. I may be eighteen now, but I don't think they're going to take this very well." "Yeah. Probably not." "This was going to happen sooner or later. They're just going to have to get used to the idea." Jake kissed her forehead before leaving. Once he closed the door, Tricia slipped a robe around her body and retrieved her phone. Her fingers trembled nervously as she stared into its screen until the sound of running water could be heard from the bath. "It's my life, mom. I ... hope you understand." Her hand was shaking as she began to type. 'Hi mom. I need to tell you that I'm with Jake at the Kensington Hotel. I'm safe, but don't wait up for me tonight. I'll be home in the morning. I love you both.' Pressing send on that message was one the hardest things she'd ever done. Waiting for the return text was harder still. "Just say okay, mom. Please, please don't let daddy call me! I really don't need that kind of scene tonight." The seconds ticked by and she could only imagine what her parents were saying. The longer it took, the more certain she was that telling them was a mistake. When her text tone chimed, she jumped so much she nearly dropped the phone. Simply looking at the return text was hard, and she stared at the screen for several seconds, not believing what she saw written on the illuminated face. 'If you are sure that's what you want, Tricia. Just be safe. Call us if you need help, and come home tomorrow.' Just as the relief washed over her, her phone chirped again. This time there were only four words. 'We love you, Trish.' Her eyes filled with tears as she held the phone in her lap. "I love you too."
