Characters: Tommy Shepherd & Tabitha Smith.
Location: Their apartment, Chinatown.
Timeline: Sunday, March 22nd
Description: Tabitha and Tommy talk about college or the lack thereof.
Rating: PG-13.
Tommy had been lucky to snag a job that almost never required overtime. During the week, he sometimes picked up an extra hour here or there, but on the weekends work was usually dead. The only people who really needed courier service were the same guys that tended to keep banker's hours. Apparently billion dollar contracts just didn't get signed on off days. Go fig.
He was currently sprawled out on the couch, still dressed in his boxers and a tee-shirt. Instead of running downstairs to one of the many bakeries or cafes, he'd grabbed a carton of leftover lo mien. The city never stopped but sometimes it felt good just to veg.
He'd organized half the coffee table, just enough so he could find the remote for the television, and was currently flipping through the channels. The door to Tabitha's room was closed but that didn't mean much. She could have been sleeping or studying or still out partying. Her schedule had been as unpredictable as his lately. He stopped on a talk show then thought better of it and instead found a marathon of some procedural cop show. Shows always reminded him that things were a lot more exciting outside the apartment.
