Near You

"After a long, quiet session of cooking, our koshari was finally ready. We had completed the culinary aspect of our class project, and now all that remained was to write the accompanying essays. I sat down with Kyle, and together we began working on our assignments, carefully analyzing the meal we had just prepared."

"As we worked at a leisurely pace, the essay that Kyle and I had collaborated on was finally complete. But, I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease, knowing that I still had to tackle the second essay - the one assigned by our teacher as a punishment. That task loomed over me, a constant reminder of my earlier misstep. With a sigh, I steeled myself for the challenge ahead."

As I sat at my desk, I gazed over at Kyle, who was engrossed in his phone on my bed. We had just finished our project and essay, and I was determined to tackle my remaining tasks alone. "Can I help you with that too?" Kyle offered, his eyes still fixed on the screen. But I declined, noticing the exhaustion etched on his face. "No, I can finish it. It's no big deal. You just make yourself at home," I replied, waving him off.

With renewed focus, I dove into my essay, pouring all my attention into the task. The words flowed effortlessly, and before I knew it, an hour and a half had passed. "Done! Whoop!" I exclaimed, exhaling a sigh of relief as I closed my laptop. The weight of the task was finally lifted off my shoulders.

I turned to glance at Kyle, but he had already succumbed to sleep, a familiar sight. His constant fatigue was a concern, but I resisted the urge to join him this time, determined not to repeat the same mistake as before. Instead, I got up to check on our koshari, then settled into the living room to watch TV, savoring the quiet evening alone.
