The Complex Art of Rosie

For the next few weeks, Rosie hardly heard from or saw Anthony.

She walked into her apartment after work one night, Anthony sitting on the couch watching the tv with his and Tamara's textbooks and course work sprawled across the coffee table in front of him.

Rosie halted in her tracks. Her heart started racing, her mind going blank, while her body felt frozen. This was the first time she was seeing Anthony in a few days. They hadn't talked properly since the day she had gotten home from the hospital. That was Anthony's made it pretty obvious that he had feelings for her.

Anthony looked up when he saw her walk in. He cleared his throat, sitting up straighter. /"Tamara just went around the block to pick up some pizza./"

Rosie nodded her head slowly, walking to the living room.

An uncomfortable silence lingered in the air above them.
