M aya dropped Troy off at the restaurant with plenty of time to get home before eleven. Troy kissed her goodbye and pulled his bag over his shoulder as he exited the vehicle.

There were two entrances to the apartment; one around the back of the building and one in the restaurant. Not knowing which door he had been given a key to, Troy headed inside to find Tom.

“Is that all you have?” the older man asked him, nodding toward the bag.

Troy nodded. “When I packed for the trip, I wasn’t exactly planning on staying here. I knew I wasn’t going to return home, but I wasn’t sure where I would end up,” he explained.

“I didn’t have much more when I moved here.” Tom gestured around the room. “Now look at all of this,” he laughed. “Go ahead and head up. Your key will work in either door, as well as the restaurant. I’m not quite sure when I’ll be up, but I will be quiet in case you are sleeping.”

“Don’t act any different just because I’m there,” Troy insisted. “I can sleep through anything.” Without waiting for a reply, Troy let himself into the apartment.

His new bedroom was sparsely furnished with a bed and dresser. He made a mental note to pick up a TV while he was shopping with Maya the next day. At least there was Wi-Fi.

Too lazy to unpack his few belongings, Troy slung the bad on the dresser and collapsed onto the bed.

The next morning, Troy woke up earlier than usual. Trying to be as quiet as possible, he grabbed his bag and headed to the bathroom to shower.

Tom was in the kitchen scrambling eggs when Troy finished in the bathroom. “Hungry?” he asked.

Troy shook his head. He had never been a breakfast person. He had to be awake at least a couple of hours before he could eat anything. “I’m sorry if I was hogging the bathroom.”

“Not at all,” Tom insisted. “You are not a guest in my home; this is your home as well.”

Troy nodded, but he knew it would take time to get used to the idea. “I’m going to pick up a few things while I’m out with Maya tonight. Do you need anything?”

Tom shook his head while he dished up his plate. He sat on the couch, balancing the plate on his knees as he switched on the TV.

The work day seemed to drag on forever. Troy was worried about meeting Maya’s brother, but he was even more worried about her father. At least he finally knew the source of Maya’s fear of tourists.

He thought back to the conversation they had on Monday. Maya wanted to conquer her fears, and Troy had promised they would do it together. So far, all they had done was face her fear of heights. Just being together was terrifying to both of them. They needed to do something he was scared of. Maybe if he shared a fear with her, it would help her trust him more.
