This is a random short, but get used to it, because a lot of these will be just snippets of her getting to know Indy. They may not make sense, but in the end, it'll all come together, you'll see!


I'm walking down the hallway on a Tuesday afternoon and suddenly hear a bark of laughter reverberating the walls. Unlike Abner's (the short-lived, booming type), this laugh is loud, slightly obnoxious but pleasant all the same. It sounds mature and secure, something I've always wanted to be.

As quietly as possible, I open door of Abner's study to a crack and peep through.

Jones and Abner are sitting in chairs playing a game of chess. Jones face is alight with laughter as my father tells an archaeologist's joke that only nerds like them understand.

I'm surprised that I didn't notice his laughter at the Library the other day. How could I have missed it?

His laughter warms me on the inside and I'm tempted to join in with it, but before I do, I catch myself.

What the hell is wrong with me?

I run back to my room and lay restlessly on my bed. I feel like banging my head on the wall. I'm so aggravated.

The memory of his laughter is the sole thing that gets me to drift off into a fitful sleep.
