Everything is grey here in your shadow of doubt.
Who: Tobias Davidson and Miranda Torres
Where: SOHS, the faculty lounge
When: Lunchtime
For Tobias, summer school was really a blessing in disguise. It kept him from having too much time on his hands, thinking about all the things he couldn't change, which led to wondering where Athena was, which led to trying to find her, again. It had been weeks since Tobias could recognize any of the landmarks around her, so he had no idea where exactly she was, thuogh he could feel the draw to look somewhere south of Michigan. By the time he arrived at a destination, Athena would be gone again.
Rather than dwell on it, it was better to be at work, where it was easier to teach and worry about someone else's troubles rather than his own. It was always sad in a way, to see some of his students forced to return for summer classes, often against their will, but maybe the individual attention was all they needed to succeed. Tobias tried his hardest, and almost always, his students could manage a passing grade by the end of the brief summer term.
By this point in the day, it was lunchtime, for teachers and students alike. Tobias was in the teachers' lounge, reheating last night's leftovers - just barbeque ribs and pork fried rice from the Chinese place down the street from his house. He never really did get the hang of cooking for himself. When he saw Miranda walk into the room, Tobias smiled and gave the woman a wave as he pulled his tupperware out of the microwave. Hey, at least he remembered not to leave it in the styrofoam container this time.
