Chapter 212

As the weekend approached, real life intruded on us again. Not that real life was bad for us. Kat had started to do video calls with us multiple times a day. She and Kelly were doing a lot of yoga and swimming. She seemed brighter and happier now, rejuvenated in a way I hadn't seen her since before our leap into football season debauchery. She mentioned the possibility of cutting her stay short and coming home in a few days instead of staying another week. I was delighted at the possibility.
Jess had to get back to work, taking appointments on Friday and Saturday before getting ready for another football party on Sunday.
Rita, to my disappointment, had to cancel our standing Sunday date night. Her husband was coming home from his hunting trip that afternoon instead of his usual Monday, so she suggested we switch to Saturday. But Jess and I had planned to go out to dinner Saturday night, after her afternoon appointment.
