Zoe Sawyer looked at Heath Hale in surprise. It was a rare day off. Was it really okay for him not to go home and spend time with his family, but to stay by her side instead?
"Don't worry. My parents both have their own jobs and are rarely home," Heath said with a shrug. "Even if I go back, I'd just be alone. It makes no difference."
Since he would be alone anyway, he figured he might as well stay with Zoe. At the very least, he would have someone to talk to, and if any problems arose, he could step in immediately.
Since Heath put it that way, Sean Hughes didn't press the matter. She simply reminded Zoe to call her anytime if she needed anything during her time off.
Standing a short distance away, Evan Keller waved his hand impatiently. "I'm still here. Besides, Zoe's parents live right around the corner. If anything really happens, I can bring a team over with just one phone call. So, just relax and enjoy your vacation.
