Even though it was late and he had downed a couple of beers, Holden couldn’t sleep. The events of the day played out in his head over and over again, forcing him to scrutinize every second he spent with Mary Allison, both good and bad, looking for some meaning. He raked his brain, attempting to remember what expressions she wore on her face and every word she spoke. She wanted me, and I blew it.

Tired of staying in bed for no reason, he threw off his covers before slipping out of bed. He crouched on the floor, his palms pushing against his gray carpet. He counted as he completed two sets of fifteen push-ups, hoping exercise might clear his mind. As he stared down at the floor, he kept imagining Mary Allison beneath him. Then thoughts of her with that other guy invaded his brain. His nostrils flared. Was he touching her? Did she make that cute noise he heard earlier for that guy too? Growling in anger, he punched the floor hard enough to bruise his knuckles. This isn’t helping.

He stood and headed to his bathroom. A search of the medicine cabinet yielded a small bottle of melatonin. He was about to fill a cup with water to take some when he heard Mary Allison’s ringtone. What the fuck? Did I really hear…did she call me? He glanced at the clock, noting the time was closer to dawn than midnight. She rarely calls or texts me even for work.

His heart banged against his chest so hard, the sensation reminded him of a sledgehammer slamming through a sheet of drywall. He walked over to his nightstand and took a look at his phone. She had texted one seemingly simple question: Who is John Crichton?

Holden stared at the screen while scratching his head. Why would she send me this at close to four in the morning? There had to be some significance not readily seen. Mary Allison only showed any real interest in him after she learned he was a Firefly fan so the inquiry had to be either some type of test or a prelude to a kiss-off. He grinned as he ran his hand through his hair. She called…there’s still a chance.

The message had so many implications. She had to at least be thinking of him which beat the hell out of indifference, and her evening with another man couldn’t be going so great. He smirked. If he was blowing her back out, she wouldn’t be texted me. He pumped his fist into the air. I just have to give a good answer.

He pondered the question. John Crichton was a character from the series Farscape, but that would be a lame answer anyone capable of using Google could give. He balled up his fist and rested his chin against his knuckles as he pulled bits and pieces of scenes from different episodes from his memory. I love that show—I got this…just have to take my time so she doesn’t think I’m an idiot poser.
