Jake could hear Matilda’s feet shuffle as she walked down the hall to the other bathroom.

I’m ninety percent sure there’s toilet paper in there.

Out to the kitchen, he grabbed two bottles of cold water then looked through the cabinets for hangover medicine.

Huh. We’re going to have to order some food. All I have is beer, pickles, and peanuts.

Matilda came into the room behind him.

“I’m no use on the drug front. And we should order some food. The only fridge contents I can vouch for are beer and water. I don’t know where the pickles came from,” he said, still looking through the cabinets.

When he finally turned around, she was wearing a confused face. “I opened the medicine cabinet in the bathroom. You have more drugs than Walgreens.”

“Huh. Well, okay. Did you find what you needed?”

She nodded.

After handing her a bottle of water, he walked down the hallway to the master bathroom to turn the water off and the tub heater on. Then he went into the little bathroom.

There were indeed all kinds of Tylenol, aspirin, Advil, cold pills, allergy pills, and other assorted things in the cabinet.

“Well, that’s good to know. I wonder if my mom did that.”

“Jake, how could you not know what’s in your apartment?” Her disbelieving laughter gave him a little more hope for their future.

“I don’t spend much time here. Most nights, when nothing is going on, I stay in a room at Sam’s. He does better with sleep when someone’s around.”

“Bath?” she asked.

“Bath! I do use the tub when I’m here. It’s like sitting in a glass of champagne.”

She grinned. “That’s not very manly of you, Jake. You’re ruining your image.”

“I’m perfectly fine with that.” He grinned back.
