Despite our afternoon of bonding and confessing our desires to “help” each other out the rest of that week was fairly uneventful. I was behind on school work and Josh was about to take finals and we were finding the whole adjustment to “at home learning” to be a bit frustrating. I think he also did not want to rush into things. I would’ve probably done anything as I was the one who was initiating most of this. I think also being younger, he did not feel like he could approach me then like he can now.
As friday came along, a delivery box appeared on our doorstep. Our mom had ordered more wine and the driver needed someone to sign for it. Mom was out to the office again and I signed for it, not after having to first rummage around to find my wallet and ID. That’s when Josh came out of his room, shirtless, just his running shorts on, “What’s that?”
