Shelter Me
“The smell of her grandfather’s chili had called out to her growling stomach the moment she’d gotten home since she hadn’t eaten more than a peanut butter sandwich during her break midway through the day.A warm bowl full in her hand, she sat at the kitchen table in the last remaining spot, between Mike and Nathan. Which thankfully saved her from maneuvering to get closer to Mike. Or answering awkward questions from her family she wasn’t yet ready to discuss since she didn’t have the answers.She grabbed a napkin from a basket in the middle of the table. “Sorry I’m late. I had a meeting with some of the other grad assistants.”There was something comforting about having them all around her after such a tumultuous weekend. Her ragged nerves soaked up the normalcy of the meal, her mom talking about one of her students making it to a state science fair for virtual schools. Gramps reminded everyone—twice—not to let him forget to watch that John Wayne marathon on television.
