"Thanks again, Syd." Brodie told her while he tried very hard to get up and move to the couch. At least it was softer. Plus, his skinny arse was getting numb. He supported himself on the arm of the couch, still kneeling, when she came back with the books. "Wow you're fast. Are you experienced with library systems?"
Brodie stood up straight before answering, cringing and making all sorts of faces at the same time. "Nah it's alright, I think I can manage. I'll just take the lift and go straight to bed when I get there." He smiled thankfully at her. "But hey, if it's on your way, I could at least use the company!"
Syd was nice. And not someone from the band, or Aileen which was the same thing. And Brodie seemed to desperately need some socialization other than with them...Or Jamie. Although 'socializing' with Jamie was now his favorite thing in the world. He smirked.
