| wasn't arguing with him today. If he wanted to stay in a funk about what happened, then he would cout it
the way he went into it because | wasn't talking about it anymore. | was over it. | woke around 9 and the bed was
empty and cold next to me. Of course, he didn't chome. Probably still patrolling this very minute.
I was in the kitchen drinking coffee. Lana had already left this morning leavinga note to makeaware. |
had already planned my day for today. | wasn't sitting about the house doing nothing. It's all | ever did, and | was
sick of it.
| had already showered and planned to visit the library in town. | also planned to stop by the college again to see
if they could speed up the process on their decision.
| was sick of waiting to hear back from them too. | needed something to fill my time, and college was the perfect
place. It also gavea little bit of my life back. Snormality and maybe even a little bit of my social life
back.
| never went out anymore, not like I used to, and | missed it. | missed the nightlife, the dancing, the music.
Sometimes | felt like a housewife, and | was nowhere near ready for that.
Jake liked to keepin a bubble but that wasn't me. He would be happy to haveat hall day every day,
but I couldn't do it. | wasn't built to do nothing.
| finished off my coffee placing my empty mug in the sink. Slipping my arms into my jacket | grabbed the keys to
the truck and my purse before leaving out the front door. | stopped on the porch.
Jake and Pete seemed deep in conversation at the bottom of the driveway.

He jumped in the passenger side leaving the door ajar so | couldn't just drive off. Not that | would do that
anyway.
"Leah?".
"Good morning to you too. | see you didn't chlast night". | put the keys in the ignition and turned on
the engine.
"I had to put stuff into place. Where are you going?". He frowned.
"Into town. | want to visit the library and then drop by the college. | might even stop and have sbreakfast on
the way. Are you going to bed?". | asked. "Yeah". He scratched the back of his head. "What's going on?".
"Nothing". I shrugged. "I just didn't want to sit in the house all day. I'm sick of staring at the sfour walls".
"Do you have your phone with you?" He asked.
"I do". | nodded.
He knew better than to try and stop me. It wouldn't work because he knew | wouldn't listen. It would just cause
an argument that could be avoided.
"Do you want to go out for dinner tonight?". | asked. "I still want to run a few ideas by you if that's okay?".
"Are you sure you're, okay?".
"I'm fine. Do you needto bring you anything back?".
He shook his head. "Just textwhen you get there so | know you're okay. I'll book somewhere for dinner". He
reached over placing a kiss on my lips. "We'll talk when your back". Talk about what?
"Okay".
