Just Another Day

The week starts as usual. Classes. Work. Home. Talk to Dane on the phone. Sleep... then repeat. Finally Wednesday, just two more days till the weekend, I go to class as usual. But the professor isn't in, there's a note on the door. Family emergency. See you Friday. Well, looks like I have the rest of the day off. Now what. So I stop by the math lab to see if they need any extra help and maybe I can pick up some extra hours. Nope, they don't need me today either. Well shit.  I wander the campus for a little while, checking out the random sculptures placed in the grassy common areas. My pager goes off, it's Dane, odd. Why isn't he at work? I find a payphone and call him back. 

"Hey babe!" he says "I didn't expect you to call for another thirty minutes. Arent you in class?"

"The professor had a family emergency. So, no class today." I say blandly "I've just been meandering around the campus. I really don't want to go home yet."

"Well..." he pause
