The first week with Dylan- Jenny develops a new urge

Jenny woke up the next day starving. She didn’t remember turning off the tv, or for that matter her alarm going off, but she seemed to be on time. She got dressed for work and headed to the kitchen for breakfast.

Dylan was already out there to Jenny’s surprise. “Hey I wanted to make breakfast to help out and say thank you for letting me stay here”. Jenny nodded in gratitude and took the thick green smoothie Dylan offered her. It was delicious! Jenny couldn’t put her finger on it but it was the best smoothie she had ever tasted.

That evening when Jenny came home Dylan had cooked again! He prepared pasta, and amazingly, it was incredible. Jenny was feeling exhausted from work however and after eating she went straight to bed. Again a call came across the screen. Again strange messages and pictures came across the screen. Except this time Jenny was there for hours, the sun had already come up when the screen turned off, but Jenny had no recollection. Only acknowledging she was exhausted

In the morning Jenny was actually looking forward to seeing Dylan. For some reason, even though they had interacted only around meals she began to really enjoy his company. This process continued everyday. Dylan cooked breakfast and dinner, and everyday she went to bed early.

Friday morning was different. Jenny came too in the morning, leaning up against her pillow as if she had been watching tv all night, but she didn’t remember that. She felt groggy, and frustrated like she hadn’t slept in days. She got dressed in a hurry, but Dylan wasn’t out there. Nor had he made breakfast. Jenny had no time to react. She grabbed a power bar and went to work.
