"Hello honey, how has your day been?" He inquired.
"It has been fine my dear" she replied. "What about yours?"
"Fine as well. Just that I miss you a lot, you know it has been up to two weeks we saw each other".
"Am sorry for that sweetheart, just busy with lectures."
"Okay. Can you come around this weekend?"
"No. I can't , we have a field trip so I won't be available. Maybe next weekend." She said softly.
"Alright. No problem. Take care. I love you."
"Love you too. Bye."

Steph sat in the small room pensively sipping her tea. Guilt nagged at her for leaving Paul alone for so many days, but she reasoned that he was beginning to chafe at her mothering him and was probably delighted to be fending for himself, as a man.
Mary her roommate came in with sparkling eyes and Steph could tell she had news. "Darling, the most extraordinary thing! Ken is in town, I saw him on my way home".
"Oh, no!" Cried Steph, all her lovely prospects lying shattered at her feet and a small curve of fear threatening to knot inside her stomach. She saw her situation clearly, knew she was in danger of getting her fingers badly burn as she would constantly be between two fires, but the simple truth hit her.
She had chosen them both
She was going to get one out of the two
It was fate
The corners of Steph's mouth turned up in a secret little smile. "I think I'll borrow that pale pink outfit of yours today".
