Jeff’s daughter Callie was starting her 2nd year at college, and this year she had a new roommate. The woman Jeff had done a shoot with last year. A photoshoot that turned into much more.

Jeff pushed away the surprise and curiosity, focusing on Callie as she introduced them, assuming they were simply strangers.

He conjured every bit of normalcy and casualness, shaking the girl’s hand without showing the awkwardness he felt. Jeff couldn’t even remember her name, hoping she didn’t recognize him.
