Despite the fact that Luke and I worked all week on his swimming and then I came home to quiz and prep Michelle for the LSATs, I managed to maintain my energy. Both Luke and Michelle were nervous about the challenges that lie ahead for each of them. Helping them gave me a sense of satisfaction and left me too busy to even fret about my relationship status with Luke. Besides some flirting and a few stolen kisses, we kept it pretty professional. Plus, my excuse of needing to help Michelle study, provided me a reason for not staying the night or planning any dates with Luke.
While I would have loved to cozy up to Luke in his big bed, he didn’t need any more distractions – at least not until the movie started filming. And Michelle needed me too. I’d been spending so much time with Luke that I neglected to help Michelle, and I owed her my attention too. After all, she helped me hook up with Luke in the first place.
