<strong>Katy with Mike</strong><br/><br/>Katy blinked in surprise at Mike's compliment.  He thought her beautiful?  It pleased her, of course.  She wanted to be attractive to her housemates, and the affirmation warmed her.<br/><br/>She smiled at him; they all had some unpacking to do, and it seemed as logical a thing to spend the day doing as anything else.  But the thought of spending her first day in the house alone in her room didn't appeal to her.  She'd already showered the night before.  She supposed she could work out, but again, hanging out alone didn't seem so great.<br/><br/>"How about I eat some breakfast while you shower," she suggested, "and then maybe I can help you unpack?  If you want some help, that is."  She shifted her hand, tangling his fingers with his, looking at his hand against hers.  She was relieved that the closeness and attraction between them had not dissipated overnight.
