Ripp helped Ophelia as she climbed into bed. The bubble blowing had really knocked her out. It was always like that the first time you did it.

She smiled. "Thanks for helping me." She had completely forgotten about earlier that day, when he hadn't shown up to get the groceries with her. They had forgotten about the groceries too.

“You know what your problem is, right?” Johnny settled into a lecture.

“Oh, please tell me.”

“You have no sense of balance.”

Ripp’s head throbbed along to the cadence of Johnny ( Read more... )

Johnny threw open the door, and entered the kitchen. He ran his fingers through his sweaty hair, shaping it into an impossible tangle. He poured himself a glass of water and chugged it back. From the couch, Ripp moaned out a request for a glass.

"Oh, so you are alive." Johnny said.

"Barely."

He had a very tenuous grasp on the concept of personal space. It wasn't unusual for him to stand so close to her that she could feel the heat from his body, or to even have him leaning against her. He took advantage of any excuse to touch her. He was like that with Johnny too.

"Nahh... It sucked."

She remembered the first time she encountered them in her grandfather's shed. First, it was the smell. Then, as her eyes adjusted to the darkness, she saw them hanging there.

He had hoped that the answer would occur to him, miraculously, once they were both in the same room.

This had not happened.
