The sound of someone knocking on the front door echoed through the condo. The doorman had called up earlier to let me know Megan had arrived and was on her way up.

“Come in,” I called, pulling plates down from the top cabinet.

The front door opened, revealing Megan with her hands full. She didn’t give me a choice when she offered to pick up dinner on the way over. But it seemed she’d also stopped at the liquor store.

I walked over and held my hands out. “Need help?”

She shook her head and darted around me to the kitchen where she hoisted the bags up onto the counter. She turned to face me. “I had everything balanced. I didn’t want to drop something when you took one of the bags from my hand.”

Without another word, we both began unloading the bags in perfect sync. It had been almost three weeks since we’d watched Cole’s game at Mari’s place where something shifted in our relationship. Gone was the Megan who avoided me at every turn and in her place a woman who spent as much time with me as possible. We’d gone from seeing each other once, maybe twice a week to seeing each other almost every night.

The change had been welcome. Sitting around my condo by myself had started to grow old. Not that I couldn’t call up one of my friends, but it was nice to have someone outside the band to talk to. Someone I could vent to when things with a new song weren’t working out, or when we argued about how many shows a week we’d do on tour.

The only snafu in the last three weeks was the night I took Megan to my favorite Indian restaurant. It barely took the paparazzi a little over an hour to post photos of us in the restaurant with headlines about new girlfriends and dating.

Megan hadn’t taken it well. After that, we tried to stay in as much as possible to avoid the gossip blogs. I’d explained to one reporter about how we were just friends, but it hadn’t made a difference. Even when I posted pictures of us on social media with the BFF, people still assumed we were dating. So tonight, we were staying in. Megan had to be on base this weekend, and I didn’t feel like dealing with cameras following us everywhere.

“How was work?”

Megan sighed. “Long. I know it’s bad to want to be busy in the ER. I get it, someone got hurt if you’re busy. But when only a few people come through the door, it can make for a long twelve hours.”

I handed her one of the plates. “Nothing worse than being bored at work.”

She laughed. “Like you’re ever bored at work.”

We loaded them up before moving to the living room to eat. I took the left seat on the couch while Megan took the center, curling her feet under her.

“You’d be surprised at how boring some of it can be.” I grabbed the remote and flipped through the channels until I found a movie we both liked.
