Dinner time

"Richard, Jess, Dinner's ready!" Richard awoke to the sound of his mom calling him for dinner. 'Shit I hope Jess is okay' Richard thought, as the last thing he saw was her running off and she obviously hadn't talked to him since. 'What if she found out what I did? No there's no way she could.'

Convincing himself that she couldn't possible know about time freezing, Richard went to the dinner room to see what Mom had made tonight.

...

The smell of cheese wafted through the air, Jess and Richard's favorite! Baked mac and cheese, the special recipe that their mom use to make when they were kids.

"Smells great mom!"

"Thanks honey, I hope you're hungry. I also made bacon and broccoli"

"Extra bacon, hold the broccoli" Richard said with a laugh. Looking to his right he saw Jess come into the room from the living room, once she saw him, her face turned beat red and instantly avoided his eyes. 'Okay well something is up for sure' Richard thought, 'I wonder what she's thinking'.

Once everyone got their food and sat down, an awkward silence came up, although no one could really tell why it was there.

"Sooo, how was your day Jess" Richard's mom said, breaking the silence.

"Um, fine, i guess, not sure why it wouldn't be." Jess responded nervously.

"Okay then..."

Not chancing another conversation, Richard put his now clean dish in the dishwasher.

"Well, I had a long day. I'm gonna head to bed. Thanks for dinner mom"

"No problem honey, have a good night."

....

Richard climbed back in bed, he could tell he was still weak from earlier. Closing his eyes, Richard drifted off into sleep.
