"Hello, Lizzie, do come in." Jewel breathed a heavy sigh as her sister walked right in the door after a brief knock.
"What the hell is going on, Jewel?" Lizzie demanded. "You haven't seen us for weeks!"
I fell in love with your son and am too ashamed now to see him.
"Nothing, Lizzie... work... it's really bogging me down. As a matter-of-fact I was offered a promotion this morning...." Jewel didn't want to talk about Quinn at all even though she was dying to know how he was doing. Was he as miserable as she was? No, he wouldn't be. It was fun while it lasted had been running through her head for the last 34 days.
"Oh really?" Lizzie's mood brightened. "Doing what?"
"Running one of the offices... in Collegetown..."
Lizzie was silent for a moment. "You will be moving away from us."
"I haven't accepted it yet, Liz."
"Why not?"
Because that's where Quinn will be for the next year. I don't want to run the risk of running into him!
"I grew up here, Lizzie. My whole life is here. You, my family, are here."
Lizzie sat for a moment and wondered what really had happened on that weekend get-away between Jewel and Quinn. Her son had been in the foulest of moods lately, but she had contributed it to the upcoming stress of his senior year and his recent break-up with Jill. And now she could see her sister was wound up tight also. Stress permeated from them both. Suddenly, Lizzie had an idea... perhaps she could help her son and her sister.
"Jewel... you know Quinn is starting his senior year there in just a few more days." Jewel nodded. "You've been stressed, he's been stressed... why don't you two share a house? That way you won't be far from family at all and he won't have to face the dorm his final year."
Move in with Quinn?!? Was she insane?
"I don't know Liz. I like my privacy AND my quiet. I know how rowdy some college kids can get."
Liz raised her eyebrow. "My Quinn? Puhlease!" Lizzie rolled her eyes. "Let's call him right now and see what he thinks about the idea." Lizzie picked up her cell phone to call Quinn.
No! Oh my gods no! Jewel screamed but it was too late... her sister was already connected on the phone with Quinn.
