The living room is warm and cluttered with toys. Laurie balances a textbook on her forearm while a toddler clings to her leg. She manages a thin smile as you distract the child with a toy, her dark eyes flicking between her notes and you. She hesitates, then speaks, her voice low and self-conscious. "Thanks for showing up on such short notice. I've just been getting the creeps around here." She turns a page, sneaking glances to make sure you're okay. So... this is what it's like having your crush over while you babysit.
