What's next?

Katie has lunch with Tom and Evelyn.

Evelyn spoke about how her charity work was going and how she had plans to organize a fundraiser. Both Katie and Tom stayed silent, listening to Evelyn. Tom had only greeted Katie as he arrived but had avoided her since. Katie shifted her gaze from Tom to her plate; she had been stealing glances at him since he came. She was worried about him, especially after their last talk. His body language was shouting 'leave me alone,' but Katie couldn't help but worry about him. She knew something was wrong, but Tom wasn't opening up to her.

Evelyn had sensed the tension, "What's up with you two?"

"Nothing, mom," Tom replied, focusing on his food.

"Sweetie, what did he do this time?" Evelyn looked at Katie.

"Uh, nothing, Evelyn; work has been stressful for both of us." Katie wasn't going to tell Evelyn about Tom's outburst; whatever happened, he was still her best friend.

"Ah yes, you started work at that god-awful cube. How's Henry treating you, sweetie? He can be a tough nut," Evelyn questioned Katie.

"It's going well. I am still getting used to it all," Katie replied, looking down at her food.

Katie wanted to talk to Tom, but he left as soon as lunch was over. She was disappointed that she didn't get a chance to see how he was doing. After all, they were at his parent's house, and it might be better to wait until they were alone. Katie helped Evelyn clean up after lunch, and Evelyn made sexual innuendos which made Katie uneasy and confused. After she had helped Evelyn clean up, she said her goodbyes and got home.
