Jenny let the current episode on Netflix finish up before pressing the home button on her remote. Part of her wanted to sit there and let the autoplay do its job and fill the entire afternoon with the rest of the episodes in the show‘s docket, but she had lost interest an hour ago and had only been using the noise as background to her surfing Instagram. She looked over to her roommate, Olivia, who was sitting at the dining room table on her laptop with some earbuds plugged in. She had thought her friend was watching the show along with her, but it was then that she noticed that Olive seemed to be in her own little world.
“How did you like it?” Scott said as he entered from the hallway. He just finished bathing. He suggested the show to Jenny. He discovered it the night before while unable to sleep.
“It was great” Jenny lied. She prayed silently that he wouldn’t ask for details.
“Good,” he said.
Scott sat down on the couch next to Jenny and he let out a sigh. Although Scott had tried to be the most optimistic about this situation from the start, the isolation along with being cooped up was starting to get to him as well.
