    ... before going to voicemail. My thoughts instantly went to everything bad. Had she come home? Had Jessi told her about what happened? What was going on?

I hustled into the house, and Jessi was in the living room with the TV on, consumed with whatever was on her phone.

"Hey, has Melissa been home?" I said, slightly panicked.

"You okay? She's not come in yet." Jessi laughed.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm good," I said, regaining my composure. "You aren't planning to tell Melissa about things? Are you?"

"It wasn't on my to-do list," Jessi said sarcastically, looking at me confused. "I have no plans of telling my sister anything about what happened last night, are you?"

"No, er nope,” I said quickly. "She's usually home by now and sounded odd on the phone."

"She's probably just running behind," Jessi said reassuringly.

She was right. Melissa worked at a hospital, her schedule often changed, and unpredictable things always happened. I just needed to relax and figure out what to do with my day. The rain was still coming down hard outside, and that ruled out almost anything I would usually do. I settled into the couch and started watching the movie that Jessi had on. No sooner than I did, I heard the door open and Melissa's keychains banging against it.

"Hey, you," I said, getting up and meeting her in the kitchen.

"Hey babe, can you put my dishes in the dishwasher for me?" Melissa said, patting me on the chest as she kissed my cheek.

"Everything okay?" I ...
    ... asked.

"Yeah, just need a shower," Melissa said, closing the bathroom door.

That was different. Usually, she couldn't wait to get her scrubs off and crawl into bed. I'd pulled the shades in our room so she wouldn't have to waste another second before getting under the covers. I loaded her lunchbox and joined her in the bathroom while she showered.

"Nicholas, what are you doing? Get your fuzzy ass out of here. I'm in the shower," Melissa barked, half smiling but unmistakably serious.

That was odd.

Melissa finished her shower and went straight into our room.

"Going to bed, guys. I'll be up around four. I work tonight again, Melissa said, closing the door.

Looking at Jessi, I asked, "That was weird, right?"

"Oh, yeah," Jessi said, raising an eyebrow. "You do have a fuzzy ass, though." She smiled.

I tried to let the morning roll off my back as I continued my day. There was no need to worry about Melissa. She was probably just stressed out. Jessi had a standing date with her friend Amber where they talked shit about everything and everyone while they did each other's nails, so she was gone all afternoon. Amber was sometimes a little odd, but she was okay to talk to. She came around enough that I'd gotten to know her enough to say hi at the gas station or the grocery store if I saw her.

Four o'clock came, and Melissa got up and got into the shower again. She didn't say a thing, which was not abnormal for her when she woke up, especially when she was working ...
