Kathleen who was sitting in front of her laptop couldn't see a thing on the screen because her mind was somewhere entirely different from it. She sighed as she thought about her conversation with Pete earlier that morning.
"I mean, just don't make plans with anyone else." Pete said without turning to look at her.
"Am I to assume that by anyone else you mean my friend? Or Chidi?" She asked in the same light tone as Pete.
"Maybe."
"Maybe?" Kathleen repeated in confusion.
"Yeah, maybe."
"Maybe what?"
"Oh! I mean maybe both your friend and Chidi. Just leave it open, will you?" Pete asked turning to spare her a glance.
"No I won't." Kathleen said, surprising them both. Although a part of her had wanted to accept that, but another part of her wasn't willing to settle for his maybes and not so clear requests.
