Chapter Five

Lorrie

“Wait. You’re not surprised?”

“You’ve been living at my house all week,” Dante said as he pulled the popcorn out of the microwave. “It would be weird if you weren’t here. I figure that’s Kat in the shower right now, right? Cause she’s the only person I think you’d run off like that to help right now. Other than me, of course. And your family. But because all your family are in another state I figure it’s got be Kat.”

“How are you so smart?” Lorrie asked.

He shrugged. “Just lucky I guess.” He picked up the bowl of popcorn and hopped towards the couch. With each hop popcorn bounced out of the bowl to rain down on the carpet behind him. By the time he’d got to the couch the bowl was empty. He frowned at it in confusion and turned around to see the incriminating trail behind him. “Huh.”

Lorrie stood up. “Sit down. I’ll clean it up and make another batch.”

Dante sank obediently down into the cushions, still holding the bowl and looking at the spilt popcorn as if it personally betrayed him. “I think the head camera man is angry at you for running off today.”

She flinched. “What did he say?”

“He said ‘I’m really angry at Loretta for running off today’.”

“Well, I’d say you read that situation correctly then.”

Dante nodded. “I told him it was an emergency but because you didn’t talk to him I don’t know if he’ll want you back.”

Lorrie let herself feel the weight of that statement. The one job she’d been excited about in years, the one thing where she could see a future for herself, gone. She couldn’t be angry about that. It was her fault. She had left without talking to the director of photography. That was stupid. She’d just been so worried about Kat...

“It’s okay,” she said, even though it wasn’t, and put another packet of popcorn in the microwave. “I’ll figure something out.” While it was cooking she swept up the spilt popcorn and dumped it into the bin. Once the microwave stopped cooking she pulled the new popcorn out, transferred it into a bowl, and smeared it with a liberal amount of butter.

Dante was cycling through channels on the TV when she started towards the couch.

“Careful,” he called.

“I’m not going to drop—”

“Lorrie?”

Lorrie stopped so suddenly she almost did drop the popcorn. Seeing that Dante lurched to his foot and pulled the bowl out of her hands. “I told you to be careful!”

She didn’t care. Her focus was on the door to the bathroom. Kat stood there wrapped in a towel. There were still some blue smudges on her arms and around her nose but she looked mostly normal. Not to mention, gorgeous. Long wet hair tangled around her face and bare shoulders.

“Hey Lorrie’s friend!” Dante waved. “This is my place, but it’s totally okay. You can stay here as long as you like! The sofa is small but all my friends say my floor is super comfortable. Lorrie’s been living
