Five
Around mid-morning, Sam shakes his head, runs his hands over his split lip, and stares at his computer screen without blinking.
“What’s wrong?” I quickly ask.
“Nothing,” he snaps, avoiding me.
“I’m talking about work. What’s wrong?”
“I can’t sum the sales in Excel.”
I almost laugh in his face. I press my lips together and stand up. The lessons I gave him at his apartment were useless.
I stand very close to him, my face almost touching his as I make the adjustment.
I feel his heart beating fast and his eyes scanning my face, but he says nothing and completely ignores me.
