I still hadn’t spoken to Brooke about the fact I was expecting Blake to come over. I had done my best to set everything up so that it would just happen to be conveniently arranged when he did arrive.
She wasn’t suspicious of the fact I had started to do my work at the dining table, even though I had been working in my room most nights.
She seemed quite happy that I hadn’t just gone and locked myself away in my bedroom, in fact. I guess that I had been falling into my old habits a little, even if I was secretly talking to Blake as I worked in my room I was still going straight to my desk and sitting there to work for hours rather than letting myself relax and watch a movie or play a game or something.
I hadn’t considered how lonely it must have been for her to have to just sit there alon
