took a big bite. Then she turned her pillow on end and sank into it, focusing her gaze on the television.
If there had been more covers, so she could really get warm, Lindsay thought she might’ve even drifted off to sleep, though it was barely eight o’clock. But the two thin blankets on the bed didn’t provide much warmth.
When the bathroom door swung open and Gil came back into her view, she felt the room get suddenly a little warmer. He was still dressed in jeans, but he’d changed his cotton shirt to a flannel one, left open over a white T-shirt.
“You’re going to sleep in jeans?” she asked, frowning.
He cocked one eyebrow at her. “I only brought jeans.”
She thought about his words as he pulled back the covers on his side of the bed. She knew he’d be uncomfortable, but he could sleep if he was really tired. She’d done it before when she’d been camping out with the family.
“You’ll probably need them. These blankets aren’t much help.”
He snapped his fingers. “I forgot about the ones I borrowed from Kathy.” He reached for the blankets that he’d dumped in a corner of the room and spread them out over the bed.
Lindsay immediately felt the difference. “Oh, thank you for thinking of them. That helps a lot.”
Even more effective at raising her temperature was Gil’s entry into the bed. His body heat was like a personal furnace, even though he maintained the foot of distance that the size of the bed allowed.
Twelve inches. And those twelve inches were possible only because she’d scooted to the edge of the bed. Gil’s broad shoulders took up more than his half of the bed. The temptation to press her body against his, resting her head on his shoulder, was almost overpowering.
