Josh POV
I am totally devastated seeing Colleen so hurt. Day after day she is curled up on the couch with her blankets watching TV. She doesn't really eat a lot or talk to me much. She doesn't even want to work which is a huge red flag. I feel totally responsible and am worried more than anything.
"Baby, want a sandwich?" I ask bending down to her. She shakes her head no. "You need to eat Colleen. You haven't eaten anything since yesterday at lunch" I say sitting on the floor now facing her. I grab her hand slowly and she intertwines her fingers with mine. "I love you baby" I say kissing her hand. I feel her grab for me and hug my neck as I sit up on my knees and hug her tighter. "He is never touching you again baby ok?" I say. "I know" she says. I lay her back down and kiss her lips gently and for the first time in days she kisses me back. I start to tear up. She smiles and kisses me again. "What would I do without you Josh?" she says. "You are my rock babe" she adds. I start to cry and lay down on her chest. "You are just using this as an excuse to lay on my boobs" she laughs hugging me. I start laughing. "Anything to touch you babe" I say. She sits up as I sit beside her hugging her. "Josh lets go away. We aren't doing anything anyways. Need to get out of here" she says. I nod. "Where babe?" I ask grabbing the computer. "The usual, Hawaii" she says standing up. "Enough of this shit. Its over lets move on!" she says throwing the blankets into a pile. I smile and look down at our usual places. "Babe where? when?" I ask. "Tonight and there!" she says pointing to a tiny bungalow on a resort by the water in Maui. "Ok I will book it. Flight leaves in 7 hours" I say. I click the button and enter in our credit card and we both walk down the hall together to our room. "Just going to have a shower and then I will pack" she says smiling. "Ok I will start mine now so I can help you" I say. I see her close the door behind her and I instantly lighten up. She is coming back to me. We need to escape out of this nightmare.
