THE NEXT MORNING nadia woke up to silence. that was unusual in the sense that clay rarely shut up or did anything quietly.
a stillness hung over their small part of the world. it was no longer raining, the sun shining through the blinds. nadia reached around for her phone. she didn't remember plugging her phone in last night... must've been clay.

"you're recording minecraft?"
"yeah... i still do that." clay rubbed the back of his neck. all of a sudden he was self conscious. he'd never felt like that about his job, but now that nadia was in front of him, he could only imagine what she thought. "it's—"
