Erin decided to remain in Cambridge for a week before heading north for home. She occupied herself as best she could given that Gia was sunning it up in Napoli and in the meantime, Cambridge had succumbed to the usual English winter weather. It hadn’t snowed, which at least would have been pleasant; the morning frost preventing training on the Cam for all but the most hard core of rowers. Erin decided there wasn’t much point in double sculling with nobody to make up the duo.

As the week progressed, Cambridge, with its twenty five percent student population gradually began to resemble a ghost town as thousands of scholars scattered to every corner of the UK, Europe and even the world.

With little better to do, Erin headed to Starbucks, ordered a coffee and hit the books - Isokinetic dynamometry. She snorted, “damn it.”

A girl two tables over scowled at Erin as she blew her nose. At least now she could learn about the subject without the major distraction that was Gia. After twenty minutes, Erin closed the books. It just wasn’t the same.

It was a five and a half hour coach ride north and throughout Erin found herself checking her phone, over and over again. Why hadn’t Gia texted to let her know she’d arrived home? Erin remembered specifically asking her to take the trouble to make the text. It was nothing more than the polite thing to do – Wasn’t it? After a week she was unlikely to send the text now, but Erin couldn’t help but check her phone anyway. The words, ‘text to let me know you’ve arrived safe,’ weren’t just a figure of speech – Were they?

Regardless, there were a million other subjects Gia could have texted about, but hadn’t. How much longer would this coach ride take? Erin needed a distraction.

She typed into her phone, ‘Hi, babe, just checking you’re ok? Haven’t heard from you since you arrived.’ So much for a distraction. Her finger hovered over send. “I’m so silly.” She muttered under her breath and deleted the message. “On second thoughts…” She turned the phone off completely and stuffed it at the bottom of her bag, out of reach.

The present from Gia lay buried at the top of the bag. She took it out, ran her fingers over the paper, shook it. Some kind of a DVD box set perhaps? Should she open it? – No! She’d promised Gia she’d wait until Christmas day. Gia wouldn’t open her present before Christmas day, she was probably not even thinking about it, running her fingers over the paper, shaking it and now, oh God, even sniffing it. What the heck. Erin thrust the present back in the bag, zipped it up and heaved it into the storage compartment.

What else was there to do? - Isokinetic dynamometry? Nope, she’d already tried that. Gia, why had you not texted?

The week before Christmas, Erin played tennis with her brother nearly every day. Her aerobic capacity had improved a great deal, allowing her to play longer without feeling tired.
