into safe territory.
    “Yeah, I did.” He smiled at her. “The bed is a little too small, but at least the mattress is comfortable.”
    His mom laughed. Her hair was a little messy, still tangled from the night’s sleep.
    “I’m glad you think so,” she said. “Especially because I get the feeling that we might be down here for a while.”
    She hummed a familiar tune as she made her way over to the bathroom to wash up. Jack stared at her, feeling a strange mixture of appreciation and surprise at her confident, frank way of stating the facts.
    If it weren't for her company, her energy, and presence, I probably would have given up by now.
    He forced himself out of bed, double checking to make sure that the door to the bathroom was completely shut behind his mom as he did. His cock had tented his boxers, and there wasn’t really anything he could do about it.
    There’s only one bathroom, one bedroom and living room, and the kitchen. Privacy is a thing of the past.
    Jack walked over to the storage totes and began digging through the one with the spare clothes. He was a little surprised, again, at how far his father had gone to prepare. All of the clothing looked as though it had been bought new, and all of the men's clothing was close enough to his size. He picked out a t-shirt and a pair of jeans and pulled them on.
    He walked a slow lap around the emergency shelter, again looking over the food stores and water tanks. It was hard for him to guess at exactly how long the two of them could survive off what they had, but at the least, they were in no danger of starving or running out of water immediately.
    Rebecca came out of the bathroom looking completely refreshed. She had washed her face, and it was hard for Jack to tell, but it looked as though she’d put on a light layer of make-up.
    Why would she need that? It’s just me down here, her son.
    “I’ve been keeping an eye on our water usage, and how fast it’s draining the tanks.” She walked over and stood in front of Jack, crossing her arms and smiling. “I think that we could potentially take one shower every three days, and still save enough to get by.”
    “One shower each, or one shower… for the both of us?” Jack had meant the question as a joke, but the way his mom smiled back at him sent a hot chill down his back.
    “You wouldn’t mind sharing that tiny stall with your dear old mom?” She stared into his eyes and held the tension for as long as she could before giggling. “Relax, I’m joking. At least I hope I am.”
    Jack sighed and shook his head.
    “Wait a second though,” he said. “How can that be? We’ll go through the water stores too fast if we take showers, won’t we?”
    Rebecca smiled and shook her head.
    “I heard enough about your father’s construction projects to guess how he set this one up. It’s powered by solar panels and probably uses rain collection to supply its filtration system and give us additional drinking water.”
    “Mom, after the earthquakes, and everything else that’s happened, we can’t really count on that stuff to still be working, can we?”
    Rebecca held up one of her hands, as though shushing a young boy’s interruption.
    “There are more solar panels in one of the totes, I already checked.” She gestured to the boxes stacked along the walls. “And I’m sure that we can clean the water collectors up without having to be outside for too long.”
    Outside… I didn’t even think to check and see what it was like today.
    Jack glanced at his mom and saw that she was thinking the same thing.
    “We should…” he started. “At some point, we should try opening the door again.”
    Rebecca nodded slightly, almost grimly.
    She’s afraid of what we’ll find, afraid of having any hope of going back to normal pulled away. She’s afraid for me, for my future.
    “I’m going to get started on breakfast.” His mom’s voice had a forced cheeriness to it that both put Jack at ease and made his
