Chapter Five

*Baby, it’s cold outside…*

Keri

It was December, and with that, Ohio brought snow, and freezing cold weather. I wasn’t used to this kind of cold, the frigid, bitter cold. I was used to Texas weather, and wasn’t prepared for the snow or the constant need for winter wear.

I did love the snow though, and although we did get snow in Texas, we didn’t get it like they do in Ohio. Ohio had all four seasons in a matter of days, sometimes hours. The weather was unpredictable, and described as a hell bent woman, according to Alexis who has lived in Ohio her entire life. I happened to agree.

It had been a full week since I last talked to Payton and the whole breakup. It has also been a week since I got my new job at the library.

I walked into my dorm room, and went straight to my bed, noticing that neither Alexis or Todd was home yet. I was happy though, as I wanted to email Payton.

I flicked on my laptop and pulled up my gmail account.

After a few minutes of wondering what to start with, I started tapping at the keys.

Dear Payton,

Hey. I hope everything is going well. I’ve been busy. I really like my job.

Talk to you soon.

Keri

I pushed send before looking down at what I wrote and took a deep breath. Short and sweet. There, I’d done it. I wrote Payton. I put the ball back in his court.

I shut the laptop and put it on the chair next to my bed and crawled underneath the covers. It was only 9 PM and I was completely exhausted.

It didn’t take but five minutes, and I was asleep.

Ten minutes if that, I heard my phone beep. I opened my eyes and wearily looked down at the screen.

I had an email from Payton.

I pushed on my email icon and read.

Keri,

I’m glad you like your new job. I’ve been busy working. I don’t have anything new to add other than I am tired all the time. Must be the winter blues. Hope you are doing well.

Payton

I clicked the reply button and used my thumbs to tap out a message.

Payton,

Thanks. Sorry you have the blues, maybe you should start writing music. I hear there is money in that.

Keri

I smiled as I typed the last part, and just closed my eyes when I saw the chat icon pop up on my phone. I could feel my heart thud in my chest, and I wondered if this was really a smart idea. Me talking to Payton, acting as if nothing had happened a week ago. Intrigued, I clicked the accept button and started typing.

Hey

*Hey*

What’s up?

*Just finished working. I’m sore.*

Just finished? It’s after 9. What were you doing?

*Dad’s got me doing a lot of work. He tore his rotator cuff and now has me doing not only my stuff, but his, too.*

That sucks. I hope he’s okay.

*He’s fine. I think he just needed a few weeks off.*

Probably.

*So, how’s the library?*

It’s great.

*That’s good.*

Yeah.

*I miss you.*

I miss you, too.
