MICHELLE SAW STEVE briefly that morning but only over coffee while the others were around. He looked basically normal. Just subdued. As if some of who he was had been trapped somewhere inside.

She went to campus to talk to her department—the program director was happy to put her candidacy on hold for a year, and he was kind and encouraging as he told her she was an excellent student and hoped she’d be able to return—and then she went to the school of education to get information about the master’s program.

It was midafternoon when she returned, and she met Lucas on his way out to see a client. No one else was home, so she had no excuse not to call and talk to her parents.

They weren’t happy.

In fact, they tried for a half hour to get her to change her mind. But finally they accepted that she was set on this, and they understood that she was determined to try something else.

She was pretty sure they expected her to change her mind and go back to electrical engineering after a few months off. But that was inevitable. They were going to think what they thought.

She was going to do what she needed to do either way.

When she hung up, since she’d done everything she needed to do, she called Chloe, and they decided to get together for an early dinner. They went to a little sandwich shop and talked for almost three hours, going over Michelle’s new plans for the future and discussing their living situation.

They could get a smaller, cheaper place.

Or they could live with Steve.

Chloe said it had to be Michelle’s decision since she was the one who had the complicated relationship with him.

They decided to leave it undecided for a while until Michelle could figure out what she wanted.

She really had no idea.

And she’d need to talk to Steve before she made the decision.

When she got home, Jill and Lucas were hanging out in the living room watching TV, but Steve wasn’t around. Michelle chatted with them for a few minutes and then headed down the hallway.

His bedroom door was closed.

He was in there.

Michelle stood outside his door for a minute until she finally knocked.

“Come on in.”

She stepped into the room. “Do you have a minute?”

Steve was stretched out on his bed, propped on a couple of pillows. His TV wasn’t on, and he didn’t have his laptop or tablet or even his phone.

Evidently he’d just been lounging there doing nothing.

“Sure,” he said, straightening up into a sitting position. “Of course. What’s up?”

She sat on the edge of the bed, keeping her feet on the floor. “Are you okay?”

He looked surprised by the question. “Yeah. Not happy, but I’ll survive. You don’t have to worry about me.”

She did worry about him. He looked so tired. There were shadows under his eyes that shouldn’t be there, and he hadn’t shaved today. He’d just been sitting alone in his room, doing nothing.

“I’m serious,” he said, evidently reading something on her face.
