Jake and Mal made some rice with a sauce and we’re all having dinner at the large table, everyone now has enough space to actually eat at it without getting in the way of the others. It’s nice, for a change, and it makes being here feel less temporary and more like living here is actually going to happen, like this is all actually happening instead of it just being in my mind, instead of it just being a dream that exists only in my head.

“I’ll be back late tomorrow evening.” Dylan helps himself to more of the sauce. “I’ve got a meeting and it’ll be running late. So I probably won’t be back before dinner.”

Jake looks up. “I need to be in the city tomorrow, so I probably won’t be back on time either.”

I eye him. “For your research?”

He nods. “Yeah. We’ve got a meeting and I need to pick up a couple of things, stay on top of what they’re doing.”

He keeps my eyes but also starts grinning. He knows that I’m not that happy he’s here all the time because he’s got research to do and I’m pretty sure that he’s taken way too much time off anyway. So I’m glad he’s going back, but it also means that he’ll probably be back in the city often, and if we’re all going to be living here... that will be a lot more difficult for him and his research and after that his work... Real life is starting to set in and this is one thing I’m not looking forward to.

“Okay.” I just keep looking at him. “I’m glad you’re going back to work.”

“Hey.” He raises an eyebrow at me. “I worked from here just fine, thank you. Nobody is getting in trouble just because I’ve been working from here instead of the lab.” Then he reaches out and takes my hand. “But I’ll probably be going back more often in the coming weeks. We’re reaching the end of another one of the research cycles, so we’re going to have to collect a lot of data. But I’ll figure something out.”

Dylan shrugs. “I can drop you off at a station on my way to work, that would not be an issue.”

“Yeah...” Jake grins. “I don’t think you leave early enough for that. I’d need to be at the lab around the same time your classes start and I’d still have a long way to go from the station.”

“Ah.” Dylan nods. “True. Worth a try.”

“Then I also don’t leave early enough.” Tom grins.

“Nope.” Jake shakes his head. “I’ll just take the first bus in the morning, that should work out, and then take the bus back too.”

“Can’t you take Grandma’s car?” I look at Jake and then the other guys. “Or is there a reason why he wouldn’t be able to use it?”

“It needs checking first.” Tom shrugs. “I’ll drop it by a garage this week, so we’ll know how good it is and if it needs fixing or not.
