Chapter 20
The following week was crazy to say the least. They had shared their news with their families, everyone was ecstatic, even Asa, who had greatly softened towards Nora. Even though they both fought like cats and dogs. Then they both started work that week. Bo was busy getting to know his people and Nora was trying to catch up on everything she missed. By the time they got home both were exhausted. Bo knew Nora was still not up her old strength, work was taking its toll on her. When he suggested that maybe she only start half time he was given the death glare. He didn’t bring it up again. He was looking forward to the weekend.

Friday was winding down. He was finishing up paperwork ready to go home. There was a knock at his door.
“Come in.”
Nora walked in looking awful. Bo put his pen down and stood up.

“Red, you look awful, you really need to take it slow at first, your body needs time to adjust.”
Nora gave him a dirty look, but allowed him to take her into his arms. He felt her lean her entire body into his.
“Hey you okay Red.”
She just nodded. He kissed her hair.
She just nodded. He kissed her hair.
“Let’s go home and order Chinese and cuddle in bed. That sound good.”
She nodded. He smiled hugging her tighter, he reached for his jacket not letting go of her. Then he guided her out and they headed home.

No sooner had Bo started to drive Nora was asleep. He sighed, he really hoped she slow down. He pulled up to their house, she was still asleep. He ran a hand down her face, she didn’t move. He sighed and got out the car. He gently got her out and carried her inside to the bedroom. He took her clothes off, without her even waking. He kissed her forehead and left her to sleep.
A couple hours later he could hear her coming down the stairs. Bo looked up just as she entered the room. He picked up the container, she walked over and took it from him and began to eat.
“How long have I been asleep?”
“You fell asleep as soon as you got in the car. So about 2 and half hours.”
She ate a few bites. Then sighed.

“Ok, I’ll work half time. For now.”
Bo smiled then leaned over and kissed her cheek.
Bo smiled then leaned over and kissed her cheek.
“Thank you honey.”
She smiled at him then at some more. She sat back putting her feet on his lap. Bo began to massage them.
“Oh, that feels good Buchanan.”
Bo smiled.
Bo smiled.
“Oh don’t get smug.”
“I didn’t say anything.”
“Your face says everything.”
“I didn’t say anything.”
“Your face says everything.”
He shrugged.
“I am just happy that you are going to slow down, you’ve been so tired you haven’t any energy for me.”
“Oh, how neglectful of me.”
Nora put her food down and crawled up to him. She smiled then kissed him.
“Oh, how neglectful of me.”
Nora put her food down and crawled up to him. She smiled then kissed him.
“I guess I need to make up for this week.”
Bo felt his pulse increase.
“Yes I think you do.”
Bo pulled her to him kissing her. Nora spent the next several hours making up for the neglect of the past week.

“Yes I think you do.”
Bo pulled her to him kissing her. Nora spent the next several hours making up for the neglect of the past week.
Bo laid on the couch with Nora laying on him, only a blanket cover them. Bo hands wandered up and down her naked back as they watched a movie. He sighed. He loved this life, he never imagined he’d have this life six months ago. He wasn’t even looking for this life. Bo felt Nora breathing slow and become even. He kissed the top of her head smiling. Yep he loved this life.
The End
