meeting with the executives on Monday. Harlan has already started the paperwork ball rolling.”
     
    “Good,” I said. “Are they all on board with the plan?”
     
    “Harlan said most of them are giddy about it. I didn’t realize how many enemies Rick Taylor has in this city. It won’t bode well for Liz’s future, I’m afraid.”
     
    “Hmm, that’s too bad for her, really.” I did honestly, for some strange reason regret she would be hurt by all of this. “But, I’m glad whatever it is people dislike about Rick is working in our favor.”
     
    “So am I,” he said. “I’m really confident that this will all be settled soon and we can move on with our lives.”
     
    “I can’t wait,” I said.
     
    “Me neither. I literally can’t wait,” he said.
     
    “Literally?” I asked with a giggle.
     
    “Never mind,” he said. “So do you have plans for dinner?”
     
    “Not one,” I told him.
     
    “Good, I want to cook for you.” I laughed and he said, “I’m serious.”
     
    “Oh, I’m sorry. I just… you cook? Really?”
     
    He laughed then and said, “I’m no chef, but I’ve been known to throw a meal or two together.”
     
    “Alright then, that sounds good. What time should I be there?”
     
    “Six, if you want to help.”
     
    “I will see you then,” I said.
     
    “Bring a toothbrush,” he said. “I doubt that I’ll let you leave until after we’ve had our breakfast.”
     
    “Mm, that sounds even better.” I wasn’t going to bring Grant up, but somehow I just let it slip out, “Hey Seth… did you talk to Grant this morning before you left my place?”
     
    “Yeah, sort of. We had a cup of coffee together. He was kind of strange, but I usually find him that way. I was happy he was clothed.”
     
    I laughed and said, “He is different, I’ll admit that. But he was extra strange to me this morning too. I was just afraid the two of you had words. He said no, but…”
     
    “He’s right. No harsh words anyways. I’ve given up the crazy notion that you’re sleeping with him, if that’s what you mean.”
     
    “No, I hadn’t thought you were still worried about that. I’m glad though. I was worried Grant may have said something rude or inappropriate to you. He does get protective like a brother.”
     
    “He was actually perfectly nice,” Seth said. “I have a theory though… do you want to hear it?”
     
    “Okay… sounds ominous.”
     
    “It is, kind of,” he said. “I think your roommate does not want to be your brother. I think Grant is in love with you.”
     
    “What? I just told you, Seth… nothing is going on between us. Nothing ever has.”
     
    “And I believe you. I trust you and I know you love me. That means I have nothing to worry about. But as a man, I also know that he’d have to be crazy to not be in love with you. And, anyone with eyes can see the way he looks at you. His feelings for you just might be the source of his weirdness, since you and I are close again.”
     
    “I can’t believe that’s true and I never noticed. I would have noticed, right?”
     
    Seth laughed, “Not if he hasn’t said or done anything, I guess. You probably didn’t pick up on what the look in his eyes meant because you don’t see yourself the way the rest of us do,” he said. “I find that charming, but difficult to understand since I’ve always loved myself.” He laughed.
     
    “Should I talk to him about it?”
     
    “That would have to be up to you baby. That would be a hard conversation for you both. But, if you’re going to continue living with him…”
     
    Grant came in the door then, just in time to save me from that conversation. “I’ll talk to you tonight, okay?”
     
    “Okay Adele, I love you.”
     
    “I love you too.” I was looking at Grant’s face when I said that and I realized as he winced that Seth was right. How in the world did this happen?
     
    “Hi!” I greeted Grant as he came in the door. “That was a
