Chapter Eleven

* Lily *

I might have told Sean that he’s been in a rut, but I’ve kind of been in one myself ever since I was laid off. Every day, I’m applying for jobs, getting a rejection here or there, but mostly not getting any responses whatsoever. It feels like I’m screaming into the void. I’ll never find another job at this rate, and certainly not one I actually would want to do for any length of time.

It’s been about a week since he let me move in here, and my days have been largely joyless without him. Except for the day I had lunch with Alexis, I’ve been on my own, counting every hour, every minute, every second until I’d see him walk through that door. The only respite I got has been when I focused on him. On his happiness. I’d spend a couple of hours every day planning what to make for dinner. Or I’d scrape together the last of my savings to stock up on a few of his favorite things. Because I’ll be damned if I’m going to ask for another handout. Not while I’m already staying here, rent free, in this beautiful place… Plus, my benefits should kick in any day now.

That’s until he arrives every evening, and I forget everything. I forget how I spent the day pining for him. Worrying about proving Alexis right and failing at being a grown-up. I forget about how I’ll never be his equal at this rate, because he looks at me like I’m everything already.

This day off I’m planning for him, I desperately need it as well. I need it for myself just as I need it to make him smile.

And that’s why I want it to be just right. Perfectly imperfectly spontaneously unpredictably perfect. If there is such a thing.

Sean’s schedule has been set for years. His routine must be suffocating him, and he doesn’t even know it. No wonder he used to escape to the White Hart every evening just to try and cultivate some ideas. And it didn’t work, because that was yet another part of his boring ass routine.

When has creativity ever flourished in soul destroying monotony? That’s right. Never!

So, I spend hours on my phone, just to figure out the perfect destination. Somewhere near enough that we won’t spend the whole day travelling. But far enough out of the city to provide a breath of fresh air. I study the weather forecast, which luckily predicts clear skies and warm, summery weather for the next couple of days. And, I study him.

Save for that initial bit of research I did almost a week ago now, I hadn’t googled Sean. Not really. I hadn’t watched too much of his material either, not because I’m not interested, but because I am. Because I know that’s a rabbit hole that’ll suck me up for hours, if I let it. And it does. Almost the entire day.

He’s been a stand-up comedian for years, so there’s a ton of stuff out there.
