She nodded, as she turned back to the fridge. "Yes. She's my roommate. I didn't like her much at the beginning of school, but we're friends now. In fact, she's pretty much my only friend these days. Every one I knew back home went away to school, or got married right after high school."<br/><br/>She pulled the jug of orange juice out of the fridge and retrieved a pair of paper cups from the box on the floor under her desk. Filling them both in silence, she tried to still her thoughts. Part of her was vibrating with excitement at having him back, at being alone with him in her dorm room. Part of her was still struggling to assimilate this illusion from her past into he present. Biting her lip, she busied herself with returning the juice to the fridge to give herself time to think. When she turned back to face him, her smile was relaxed and pleasant, though it took an effort to make it look that way.<br/><br/>Raising an eyebrow to make her expression playful, she said, "Teddy... this is a college dorm. They have rules against such things. This isn't a co-ed dorm. I'll get in trouble for keeping a boy in my room if anyone sees you. Besides. I have to go to work tonight. I'm a bar maid at this bar in town. I wont be back here till... Gosh, probably after one o'clock tonight."<br/><br/>She frowned. It felt aweful, the thought of returning to reality. Teddy was back! She felt as though there should be a national holiday to celebrate that fact. Going to work tonight.... having to sleep in her dorm without him near was a painful thought. Sipping her orange juice, she tried not to let the thoughts and worries bouncing around in her skull show on her expression.
