Brain's POV

I was feeling better despite my assignments. I promised Sue Ellen I would share her concerns with Sarah. The two talk online now. Sue Ellen apologized, saying she felt silly, but I knew how she felt. I was swamped with papers and tired of constant sunshine, but I empathized with her. Sarah was this other woman she knew nothing about.

We're talking like we did before now. She complains of the cold, I complain of the sun, and we laugh. We hope nothing more will come between us, but distance seems to create problems we cannot foresee.
