Taking Aaron his lunch the next day was a welcome break for Marissa. She stopped work at eleven, made lunch, and walked to the university with both lunches in Tupperware containers in a bag. When she walked into the building where she knew Aaron worked, she noticed a gaggle of girls standing outside the office that he’d indicated as his.

The door was closed, so she wormed her way through the crowd and knocked. When there was no response, she tried the door and walked in, ignoring the girls who were crowded around her. “There’s a mob of girls in the hallway,” she said as she cleared off a corner of his desk and put their lunches down. She handed him a fork, and opened her container, smiling as the smell washed out over her.

“I know. They’re always there if I’m in the building, and oftentimes when I’m not. What did you say to them?” He wondered if she’d managed to get rid of them for a while, or if they were all still out there, waiting for his office hours to start.

“Nothing. I just knocked and when you didn’t respond, I walked in to bring you your lunch.”

He set aside the journal he’d been reading and opened his container. “This smells fabulous!”

“I thought about bringing a cold lunch since it’s summer, but it doesn’t even feel like summer. Maybe late spring.” She wasn’t sure what she was going to do when the cold weather started. She’d have to learn to manage.

“This is as hot as it gets,” he said. “I hope you like snow and cold.”

“It gets cold in Arkansas, but we don’t get a lot of snow. I guess I’ll see how I like it as time goes by.”

He took a bite of his chicken and dumplings and sighed. “How did you know I love chicken and dumplings?” he asked.

“I saw all your naked baby pictures and every photo your mother ever took of you last night. There were several with you covered in chicken and dumplings.” I figured that meant you still liked it.

He shook his head. “I’m enjoying this too much to worry about what you saw.”

She smiled. “I’m glad you like my cooking. I bought food for a week, but sometime we should talk about your favorite foods, so I can make them for you.”

“Maybe I don’t want a wife on the shelf after all.”

She shook her head. “I guess I’m better than that silly elf everyone always posts pictures of at Christmas.” The man was aggravating, but at least he was starting to better understand what a wife in his life would mean.

“Much better!” He looked at her for a moment. “You’re on social media?”

She nodded. “Yeah, I’m on Facebook. I tried Instagram, but I’m really not that into posting pictures of random crap.”

“I’m on Facebook as well. I’ll friend you there, and we’ll change our Facebook statuses. Most of my students follow me on Facebook, and it might help with the lines of girls in the hallway.
