It was early in the morning a full 48 hours later she was finally back in Pittsburgh. Sure she had the team to distract her taking care of all the little but mounting aches and pains of the previous game to distract her as well as getting confirmation of Kris’ test results in keep her busy but it wasn’t enough. She was anxious to get back to him and it was the first thing on her mind.
She texted a few people and got in her car bound for Kris’ well she had to make a few stops first but his place was the ultimate destination. She stopped at home putting her laundry in and grabbing a quick shower and fresh clothes before heading to her second stop. She was only a moment at Max’s since he was waiting out front in a plaid house coat with what she needed. “Tell him he owes me.” he teased ruffling her still wet hair. It was back across town now to Kris’ apartment.
Sarah let herself in creeping though the quiet as the sky just started to lighten.

“Hey it’s just me.” she whispered crawling into bed next to him. She had thrown on shorts and a hoodie taking the sweat shirt off leaving her just in the shorts and a tank to be in bed with him.
He groaned slowly processing that she was there. “How did you get in?” he asked groggily shifting obviously babying his bad shoulder.
“Max lent me his key.” she said bringing her head to rest on his chest as he moved to his back. They were both usually started the night on their sides in the obvious spooning position drifting to their stomachs or Kris to his back and Sarah resting on his chest or at his side. She was exhausted and it was hours before he would be getting up for the day.
“Why…. Max key?” he mumbled bending down kissing the top of her head. He had no memory of giving Max a key but he didn‘t dwell on it being to much asleep still to worry. “You.” he added his good arm moving around her holding her to his chest. “Your hair is wet. Strawberry shampoo.” he added pressing his nose to her head.
“Yeah I showered you wouldn’t have wanted to smell me before.” she closed her eyes listing to his heart.
“Yes I would have. You always smell nice.” he said taking the tie out of her hair so he could run his fingers though the damp stands.
She smiled against his skin letting out a content sigh only to have her phone buzz in her purse on the floor next to the bed. She rolled away from him not bothering to check the message but turning it off.
As soon as her head was back in place on his chest he had his fingers in her hair. “I am glad you are here.” he said softly. Hearing her breathing go regular he let go of her hair the strands slipping though his fingers. “I think I will always love you.” he whispered as his hand come to rest on her shoulder blade. The warmth of her there next to him was comforting and it wasn’t long till he too was asleep.
