“You know, I’m a little worried about Ben.”
“Why? Your brother seemed fine to me this morning, Tom.”
“Well, he’s been here for two months now, since the semester started and I don’t think he’s been out once. He just spends all evening in his room studying.”
Zoe gave a throaty chuckle.
“What?”
She giggled again and then blushed.
“Honestly Tom, he’s not studying all the time, well at least not the way you mean.”
“You’ve lost me . . .?”
“A couple of weeks ago I called up to him to ask if he wanted a coffee and some Oreos. He said yes so I took them up. I don’t think he was expecting me that quickly and I walked in without knocking, both hands were full. He was sitting at his screen and he blanked it quick, but not quick enough.”
