"I didn't know you played Sims, Sar," Nick said.
"I don't, at least not very much," she lied maneuvering her way over to the monitor and turning it off. "I just bought it recently because everyone seems to think I need a distraction."
"Well it looks like you found one," Nick answered, "that game can be really addictive."
"How would you know?" Sara questioned him.
"I have friends who like it," came Nick's somewhat flustered answer. Sara had her doubts that is was friends who were giving Nick the info on how addictive the game was, but she didn't feel like questioning him. All she wanted was a chance to close the game so any evidence of her actions would not be paused on the screen.
"I've got to get going Sara. Thanks for finding my wallet," Nick said as he made his way toward the door.
"No problem Nick," Sara replied as she watched him walk out the door. Once the door was closed she rushed back to the computer, quit out of the game, turned on the scanner and planted herself on the couch with a forensics journal.
Nick laughed to himself as he walked into his living room. He would have never guessed that Sara Sidle played the Sims. Well it is a good distraction, he thought as he waltzed over to his computer. The machine came out of hibernation to revel a paused game of the Sims 2. Nick planted himself in front of the screen. It's a good thing that she doesn't know that you play it too. Of course, Sara would never guess who your favorite family to play on is, Nick smiled as he clicked on a house labeled 'Stokes.' When the family loaded, he scrolled over all the pictures of the characters to check their status.
"Looks like Micah needs some fun, Taylor needs food, I need a shower and Sara needs some sleep," He said to himself. "Isn't that just like Sara, to need more sleep." He shook his head at the thought. He made his sims do what they needed to do, but he couldn't get Sara off of his mind. She did look like she hasn't been getting much sleep. Maybe I should give her a call. He considered this. Should I? After all, I was just over there. Nick finally gave in to himself and picked up the phone. It rang four times before Sara picked up.
"Hello," Sara said.
"Hey Sar, it's Nick," Nick replied cheerfully.
"Oh, hey Nick, lose your wallet in my car again?" she asked playfully.
"No, but I was wondering what you're doing right now."
"Nothing," she answered.
"Good, because I bought a movie a few days ago and I was wondering if you wanted to come over and watch it with me in a little bit." He asked hopefully.
"Sure, why not," her voice full of happiness, "I'll be over in a few."
"Okay Sar, I'll see you then."
"Bye."
