22.3. Taste

It was another drizzly day in Princeton and the weather was getting colder every day as the months veered closer to winter again. He used to love winter, but now he knew it was just always going to bring unhappy memories of that chilly December night at the entrance of Princeton Plainsboro. Lachlan sat on the soft seat framing the bay window of their living room; his guitar was nestled under his arm as he softly strummed ‘Have I Told You Lately’ as he watched the rain outside. He paused in the playing and looked over at Tara who was sleeping peacefully on the sofa, her hand rest slightly on her stomach. The knitted blanket he’d tucked around her earlier had slipped a little to the floor, revealing her smooth legs curled up under her.

( The weekend in New York had been fun, but it really took it out of them both. They rightfully should’ve been curled up in bed together making the most of the rainy day, but Lachlan couldn’t get his mind to rest... )

Set just over a year ago, a few weeks after Lachlan arrived in Princeton...

Cameron pressed her lips together. "I appreciate you trying to help, Lachlan, but you can’t possibly know what I'm going through right now. Nothing you say is going to make me blame myself less," she said lowly, staring angrily at the linoleum floor.

( Lachlan was torn and his own eyes dipped down to the floor. He cleared his throat, but didn't release her hand that he’d just taken a moment before to try and comfort her, despite her anger... )
