Taylor was almost to the last chapter of studying at the library when she got a text from Lily. You free tomorrow?

With a sigh, Taylor replied. Art final in the AM.

After?

It almost made her smile thinking that the world would not end after that. I’m free.

Great. How about a painting session?

Painting? Me?!!!

Sure. It’ll give me a reason to get out of this slump.

Well, when you put it that way…

They’d eaten the best lasagna Greg had ever tasted complete with garlic toast and salad. Being with Clara had turned out to be a really good idea. He felt like he could breathe again, like for the first time in forever, there wasn’t a thousand pound weight sitting atop his chest.

“I can get those,” Clara said as he stood and took dishes to the sink.

“Hey,” he said, his voice sounding far happier than it had in months, “you cooked, I can clean. That seems fair.”

At the sink he turned on the water. She didn’t have a dishwasher, so tonight, the dishwasher’s name was Greg Everett.

“I didn’t invite you over so you could do my dishes,” she said, bringing a bowl and pan over from the table.

“Well, you didn’t have to invite me over at all.”

“Okay. True-that.” She went back for more, but half-way to the table, she stopped in the middle of the galley kitchen. With her back to him, she pulled out her phone, read the message and texted something back.

Greg hadn’t really been paying attention until she took another small step and another, still texting. That was weird. He hadn’t pegged her for the text-like-it’s-breathing kind of girl. He tried to keep his mind on the dishes, but it kept drifting back over to her as she stood at the table, not picking anything up, her back to him and her thumbs still flying over the phone.

Another minute and with a shake of her head that he saw, she hit send and picked up the jug of tea to go put it away in the fridge which was behind him and on the opposite side. Before she even got there, he heard the buzz of her phone. She was either really popular all of a sudden or something was going on.

Without a word and as discretely as he could, he tracked her movements all the way back to the table. She was texting again, and she looked a million miles away. When that mini-session ended, she came over by him with the pan of leftover lasagna and started putting it in a Tupperware dish.

He had just found a topic that might fill the void when her phone buzzed again. This time, she turned her back on him and leaned her hip on the counter without finishing with the lasagna, and true worry pummeled into him. Should he ask? Was it his place? Or would that be being nosey? Letting out a soft sigh of exasperation because he never knew the right thing to do, he transferred the finished dishes to the second sink and rinsed them off.
