54.4. Unrequited (from Week 51)

[Follows THIS and part of Tim's 'Not Hungover' plot]

Tim was silent as he waited for Lyla to sit down in the seat beside him. Ironically, it was the one Sam had not long ago vacated to go look at a couple of places to rent with Jason. His face remained impassive when she smiled at him and tried to take his hand, but he just moved it out of her reach before she could. He was feeling like crap and wasn’t in a good mood because of it, but this had to be done sooner rather than later. She had to know.

“Do you need anything?” Lyla asked in the same passive voice she always attempted when she desperately needed her own way. She faltered when he pulled his hand away, but didn’t comment, instead folding her hands in her lap and leaning forward. “I can get you anything you need.”

( “Lyla,” Tim said quietly... )
