Jeremy was back in his usual seat when Dave let himself back into the saferoom, five minutes later. Everyone else was hard at work on something or another, except for Simon, who was leaning back in his chair looking grumpy. "There you are," Simon said. "Thought you'd died or run away or something, left us stuck with your mess."

Dave hesitated, then squared his shoulders mentally. "I stopped to get a drink," he said. "I spent all morning working hard to create this ungodly mess, after all."

Simon chewed on the inside of his cheek, staring narrowly at Dave. Dave nearly quailed — the butterflies in his stomach were having a hoedown — but he gritted his teeth and forced himself not to crumple. "Huh," Simon finally said, looking away. "Guess so. See if you can't get some of this stuff out of our way."

"That was the plan," Dave said, so lightheaded with relief (or possibly terror) that he spoke before he thought. "And I've already promised to put everything back the way it was before I left tonight."

Simon glanced at the tornado of computer parts around Dave's feet. "That'll keep you working late."

"Is that a problem?" Was he actually having a conversation with this guy?

"No," Simon said. "Not a problem. Fact is, it's kind of the norm."

"Good thing I don't usually have anything better to do, then," Dave said, then stopped, aghast at himself, and swooped down to pick up the closest pile of parts (a monitor) in order to hide his blush. Fortunately for his equilibrium, though, Simon didn't say anything else, just grunted. Dave was able to escape into the next room and put the disassembled monitor down before his knees quietly gave way. There was even a mat already there to break his fall. Things were looking up.
