Chapter Eleven

On Thursday morning they checked out of Chez Cram, as they had nicknamed their hideout. Since Ryan’s first test was at eight a.m., they left much earlier than Jamie would have preferred, but Ryan made it up to her by delivering coffee and Danish one last time. Jamie’s last exam was from 12:30 to 3:30, and since she had an easier time than she had expected, she was ebullient when she returned home at four p.m. Ryan had to work at the gym that night, since she had been forced to move a lot of her private clients around to accommodate the study period and her exams. It had been more than a little difficult for Jamie to hold her tongue at Ryan’s decision to work that afternoon, but she realized that Ryan followed her own muse on such matters. It just seemed masochistic to Jamie for her partner to have two tough exams in subjects too obscure to pronounce and then squeeze a couple of hours of work in. But Ryan had an iron will when it came to her obligations, and Jamie knew that she had to give her friend support rather than advice. Even though she was sorely tempted to go to the gym just to watch her work, she thought better of it. Give her a minute’s peace, Jamie. Remember life before Ryan? You actually had other friends.

She was a bit surprised, but pleased, to find Mia at home when she arrived. She felt very guilty about her lack of time with her old friend. People who gave up their friendships when they got into a new relationship had always annoyed her, and she decided that she had to stop being one of those people immediately.

She jogged up the stairs and poked her head into Mia’s chronically messy room. The curly haired woman was lying on her bed in her underwear reading a magazine, and she gave Jamie a big smile when she saw her. “Hey girlfriend! Long time no see! How did your week at the Claremont go?”

“Absolutely perfect,” Jamie beamed. “Are you all finished with exams?”

“Yep. I had my last one this morning. How about you?”

“I’m done too. Do you want to go out tonight to celebrate?” Mia sat up abruptly and tried to see around Jamie’s shoulder. “What are you looking for?” Jamie asked as she turned around to determine what her friend was searching for.

She laughed as she replied, “I was looking for Ryan. I haven’t seen you two apart for months,” she said pointedly.

“I know, I know,” Jamie replied guiltily. “I was just thinking about how much I miss spending time with you. I promise I’ll be better next year.”

“It’s okay, Sweetie. I want you to be happy, I just wish you’d save a little time for me. But I know what it’s like to fall in love, so I’ve cut you some slack for this year.”

“Well it’s either love, or I’ve turned into a stalker,” she groused. “I’ve never been this way about another human being, Mia.
