She didn’t have to go far.
He was standing in her living room in a pair of Justin’s old basketball shorts and nothing else.
“Holy hell,” she whispered as her eyes drank him in, his muscled body on display.
“What was that?” he asked, and she winced. Her inner dialogue needed to stay that way.
“Nothing,” she replied, and she picked up his wet clothing from her floor. “I’ll go put these in the washer. Want to watch a movie?”
“Sure.”
“Okay, it’s your turn to pick.”
“DVD or something streaming?” he called out to her, and she laughed as she put the dirty clothes into the washer.
“What part of it’s your pick is troubling you?”
“Too much to...no way, you still have your copy of200 Cigarettes?”
She smiled even though he couldn’t see. “Of course.”
“Do you remember the first time we watched this?”
She’d started her washer and walked back out to her living room. “We’d said it was going to be a New Year’s tradition.”
He held the DVD in his hand and looked back at her. “When was the last time you watched it?”
“New Year’s, our senior year.”
His smile fell. “I took this away from you, too.”
She shook her head as she walked forward and took the disc from his hand. “I’ve had it all this time, saving it for a special occasion, like today.”
“What’s today?”
“The day you promised you’d never disappear on me again.”
“And I won’t, Trina, I swear.”
“Shall we?”
His smile appeared once more. “Popcorn, too?”
“It’s tradition, isn’t it?”
“Then we shall.”
