FIONA
FEBRUARY 3, 2023
THE UNIVERSITY OF PORTLAND LIBRARY
"I thought professors were supposed to grade in their offices," Fiona chuckled as she held up two sandwiches from the cafeteria. "You want turkey or ham?"
James told her he would eat anything, so long as it was in sandwich form. So, she picked the two safest options. He looked up from his work and exhaled, his cheeks puffing out. All of their work was spread out across the large table, and she had to admit, they had a lot more space here.
"Well, I figured we needed a change of pace." He gestured to the sandwiches. "Which one do you want?"
"I like both, but the ham has Swiss cheese."
"And Dijon?" James asked with wide eyes.
"And Dijon."
"Can I have the ham?"
She giggled, passing it to him.
"You can have the ham."
"Yes!" He grabbed her wrist and kissed the inside of it. "I love you."
She would never get used to hearing that.
"I love you too."
They were in the university library for a "change of pace." Both of them had been jumping between their offices before they went to Colorado for the week. James was getting bored and restless between the office hours and grading, and more irritated. She knew why, Matilda's birthday was next week, and as the day approached, he became more withdrawn in certain moments; more reflective.
James had talked to Natasha about the two of them taking over the deed for the house. She was, obviously, thrilled with the idea. James was going to turn Matilda's bedroom into an art room with his daughter's drawings hanging on the walls. Fiona wanted to frame pictures of the family and hang them up in a little gallery. His birthday was coming up, and she was already making plans with Steve to take him somewhere for the weekend so that she and Bea could get started on transforming Matlida's room.
They would keep the throw pillows on her bed and put them on a sofa that Fiona had picked out with a similar color scheme to Matilda's bedspread. Then, she was going to put Matlida's toys in a glass display case. The room would be part museum, part art studio.
