Since the errands give me a free pass from set for the rest of the afternoon, I call Tegan and make plans to meet at the diner in town. Fifteen minutes later, we’re tucked away in the back booth at the diner, inhaling a mountain of hot, salty fries. I love this place: the jukebox plays old Prince and Springsteen, and the red leather seats are like something out of a movie. Mrs. Olsen opened it years ago, and although she doesn’t handle the day-to-day running anymore, she loves to hold court behind the counter and say hi to all the locals.

“So,” Tegan begins, when finally we come up for air. She sits back and fixes me with a look. “What’s happening with Blake?”

“You don’t have to ask,” I bite my lip. “You know, if it’s weird.”

“Please,” Tegan rolls her eyes. “Your my best friend, I want to know all about it. OK, maybe not all…”

I laugh. “It’s good. Great.”

She waits. “And?”

“And, nothing. It’s been so busy with the movie, and since we’re keeping it under wraps…” I shrug and eat another fry.

“I don’t get it, the sneaking around thing.” Tegan looks bemused. “I mean, you’re both free and single, consenting adults. You should be making me sick with all your lovey-dovey couple stuff. I was braced for you to be totally insufferable,” she adds. “Talking non-stop about how amazing he is, and how in love you are. But…you’ve been so calm. What’s wrong?”

“Nothing’s wrong!” I protest. “We’re just taking it slow, that’s all.”

I pause. All week, something’s been nagging in the back of my mind. I’ve pushed it aside, swept up in the thrill of our secret rendezvous and private make-out sessions, but with Tegan right here, I can’t ignore it any longer. “I just thought things would be different by now,” I say slowly, feeling disloyal for even mentioning it. I have everything I wanted, I shouldn’t be complaining.

So why do I feel like something isn’t right?

“I’d call you and my big brother sucking face pretty different,” Tegan grins.

I throw a fry at her. “It’s not that. I just…feel like he’s holding back with this whole secrecy thing. Keeping me at arm’s length.”

“Even when he’s trying to get in your pants?” Tegan cracks.

“Hey!” I protest, then shake my head with a sigh. “You know what? It’s nothing. I’m overthinking this. What’s new with you?”

“No! I’m sorry,” Tegan says quickly. “I’m listening, I promise. ”

“It’s fine.” I insist again. I look down at the empty plate between us. “I’m still hungry, I think I’m going to order some pie. You want some?”

“Duh.” Tegan reaches across the table and grabs my hand. “Hey, it’ll be OK,” she says, sincere. “He’s probably just distracted with all the movie stuff. Once you wrap filming and get to spend some quality time together, everything will work out.”

“Right,” I nod, trying to see sense. “He’s trying to do his job right now, I shouldn’t get weird if he’s focused on that all day. And we’re hanging out tonight, that’s good, right? I’ll see if I can get him to unwind.
