Authors Note: Here we are again! I'm on a roll. Somehow, I do the best writing when I have three stories going at once. Weird. I'm glad you guys are all liking the story. And props to Allie for thinking up the title. Isn't it a cool name? Oh.. Just for the record, I don't write hot closet sex, so get that out of your mind. ::looks at various people:: You know who you are. So, I'm thinking about starting a C2. Anyone up for one?

Chapter Three

"I bet she forgot about us," Grace told Luke a half an hour later. Luke nodded.

"I'm starting to agree. What time is it?" Luke asked.

"Why are you asking me?"

"Because you have a watch," he told her. She looked down at her wrist.

"Oh. Yeah. Uhm, 11:45," she told him. "I'm going to go insane if we're in here any longer."

"Someone will get us out soon," he told her.

"They better. I've got better things to do than sit in a closet all day bored out of my mind."

"I'm sure there's something we could do in here to make time pass faster," Luke commented. Grace raised an eyebrow.

"You've got to stop hanging out with Friedman dude," she told him.

"That's not what I meant," he told her. Grace cleared her throat and glanced around the room, looking everywhere but at him, trying to hide her embarrassment.

"Is it me, or does this closet seem smaller?" she asked.

"It's you," he told her.

"Right. Of course. Small spaces. Great." Luke got up and walked across the closet and sat next to her. "If you ask me how I'm doing, I'm going to hurt you," she told him.

"I figured," he said, putting an arm around her shoulders. Much to his surprise, she didn't push him away.

"So.." Luke started, "You're an only child, right?"

"Yeah. Why?" she asked.

"Well, all I know about your family is that your dad is a rabbi. I'm just curious."

"Trust me, the less you know, the better," she said.

"How come?" he asked.

"Because," she said, "Can we change the subject?" Luke nodded.

"You know.. If you ever want to talk about anything, I'm here," he told her. She looked up at him.

"Yeah," she said.

AN: TBC.. Okay. The week of the 19th, don't expect any updates. Nothing to do with the holidays, everything to do with an algebra midterm that will put me to an early grave. Just a warning.
