"It's not that I envy them," Maddie looked back at Boone wide-eyed about the Rafe and Ruby news that stole their thunder on their engagement party, but she might have been in a slight fret.
His arm was around her on the couch. They were close, well they'd been inseparable since the Christmas engagement. After all, they might as well have made a fort in the livingroom during the holidays. She couldn't remember the last time she slept in her own bed, just his or the couch.
Of course, she could see his smile; it was playing into a laugh, and then she laughed, too.
"Look, Rafe and I are friends, in spite of everything," he shrugged. "We do work together."
"Well..he's in school now," she pressed her lips in protest and of course, he kissed them very longingly as if she might forget they were even talking about Rafe.
"Uh-huh," Boone broke free from the kiss but looked her in the eye. "You are taking some classes this January too."
"Well." She wished he hadn't brought that up. Maybe she was sleepy after all even if the ten o'clock news hadn't came on yet. After all, they only got antenna TV, and she was not staying up for the old Carol Burnett show.
"OK, you say you can't decide on a major, I get that, but think about it, you need to start taking Library Science classes because you know how much you love the library,"
"I know, but, I'm just going to take, you know the usual stuff, and wait." Maddie shrugged.
"We could all be learning about jet engines, you know," Boone smirked.
"He better stick with it," she sighed.
"Oh, he's got a baby to feed, Rafe we'll figure it out," Boone nodded.
"But..but do I have to like Ruby?" Maddie found her a bit snooty, and she was Harley's friend, after all.
"Well, if you can try to be Ruby's friend, then surely I can be Rain's friend," he smiled.
Maddie nodded. She'd give it a try. She didn't feel Rafe nor Rain as big Xs anymore that she had to avoid.
need to read the other chapters, but I like it!

ReplyDeleteThere are people who put on many layers of introspection and hide emotions, making it difficult to achieve their friendship.

besotesssssssss
This seems like a good compromise. If one of them can try to be Ruby's friend, then surely the other can try to be be Rain's friend. We have to put in the effort to maintain friendships and relationships. Sometimes people we care about are close to people we may not be on the best terms with- but some diplomacy is needed in the personal sphere as well.
ReplyDeleteI think it's good that Maddie nodded and basically agreed that she'll give it a try. Good luck to all of them. Nice chapter!
