A KNOCK ON my door startled me awake. As soon as I popped open my eyes, I realized I’d fallen asleep on the floor, on top of my whiteboard which was also on the floor while I clutched two dry-erase markers.

There was another knock. “Just a minute,” I yelled, trying to brush the thick cobwebs out of my head.

I had no idea what time it was, but I knew it had to be long after Shea had left. When I gazed at the whiteboard, there were even more items added to it, and now my laptop sat on the coffee table. The last thing I remembered was lying next to the board, thinking I’d rest my eyes for a moment, a trick some of the older folks in this town used whenever they felt sleepy.

It might have worked for them, but for me, it was an all-out sleep fest. One I was having trouble shaking off.

It took all my effort just to get upright and drag myself to the door. Somehow, I managed. I thought perhaps Shea had decided to return after dinner, knowing we’d only scratched the surface of everything I needed to accomplish and everything I needed to decide on.

When I opened the door, I said, “You didn’t have to come back…”

“But I’ve never been here,” Rascal said, grinning.

He looked so damn good in a black t-shirt, dark jeans, and black biker boots. He even wore a leather jacket this time, and had an acoustic guitar slung over his shoulder from a colorful strap.

“Wow!” I said aloud, not meaning to, but it just slipped out. Just seeing him standing there, in my doorway, blew everything I’d been hesitant about right out of the water.

“Is that a wow, you’re happy to see me or wow, what the hell is this asshole doing here this late at night?”

I laughed. “A little of both. Plus, you brought your guitar? Is this a new tactic? Because if it is, it’s very effective. Nothing quite as sexy as a guy with a guitar.”

He grinned, and his entire face lit up. He looked a bit bashful from my statement. “I’ll keep that in mind. I wrote a song and want you to hear it. I thought we’d try our hand at writing some lyrics for it. If you feel up to it, I mean. We used to play around with that before, so I thought maybe…”

He and I had tried writing our own songs several times, but we’d always end up arguing over either the lyrics or the melody, so we’d stop. Still, we’d start out good, so maybe there was hope this time, despite my skepticism.

“Come on in. I was, um, asleep, and I thought you were Shea. But you’re not. You’re Rascal, and you want to work on a song. Like that ever worked for us before.”

He walked in, then closed the door.

“We’re different people now, remember? More adult, at least that’s what we keep telling ourselves.” We stared at each other for an awkward moment while we stood in my small living room.
