The alarm goes off, and it’s still dark outside. He holds me tight and kisses the top of my head, before saying, “I’ll be right back.”

He returns a few minutes later. “I had this delivered last night.” He presents a box with the latest computer model pictured on the white box. I must look confused. He begins unpacking it. “I know there’s no way you can work and finish your studies without a computer.”

“But I can’t afford this.” Just looking at the box, I can tell it’s worth more than I make in two months. “Particularly this computer.”

He smiles at me. “But I can, and I don’t mind. Let me do this for you. It’s my fault for not taking your computer inside with us or running it here last night.”

“It’s not your fault,” I implore. I’m relieved that I have a computer. I’ll reimburse him one day because I know that I also bear part of the burden because I didn’t even think about my computer in the back seat of his car.

“My insurance will pick up most of this, so don’t worry about it. We’ll need to upload the software you need on it, but it should have the basics already, so it should be easy. We can use my credit card, and I’ll just send it off to the insurance company.”

He plugs in the new computer, and it fires up. It’s so much faster than what I’m used to. Kissing me on the forehead, he says, “I’ll make us some breakfast. Start making a list of what you need to download, and let’s get that done this morning.”

I’m exploring the new computer when he walks in with a steaming plate of eggs, bacon, and toast. “Eat something.”

I take two bites and put the plate down, focusing on what I need to do. A black American Express card is pushed under my nose. “Order whatever you need.”

“I feel really bad taking advantage of you, Christopher.”

“You’re not taking advantage of me. As I said, I’m just going to submit it all to the insurance company.” I reluctantly take the card from him. “Dillon will be here in a few minutes. You have all morning to yourself. I should be back by one. Does that work for you?”

I nod. I have so much to consider that I’m not sure where I should start.

I work like crazy downloading and pulling the research off my cloud server. I don’t think I lost anything too drastic. I change all the passwords on the cloud, despite figuring that whoever stole my computer has most likely wiped the memory and sold it to some poor student in desperate need of a computer.

Time flies, and the next thing I know, Christopher has returned. He smells of sweat and tastes of salt and beer. “Did you have any problems getting what you need?”

I hand him back his credit card. “Not at all, and thankfully almost everything was on the cloud, so I didn’t lose much.”

He kisses me on my forehead.
