*Trisha*

Maintenance fixes Nate's bathroom that Jules destroyed. Housekeeping cleans up the room along with the rest of the apartment that isn't occupied with a person. Me and Paul are the only two in the main living area while Nate keeps Julia in his room. Jonah left to get hospital supplies.

I'm cleaning and organizing the bookshelf in the hallway near Nate's bedroom. I don't even know why he has books. He never reads! While looking through them and organizing them, Paul gets a text and looks over at me. I give him a 'what are you looking at' look and go back to what I was doing.

"Hey." Paul stands up and heads over to me.

"Hey......" I give him a funny look. "What do you need hotstuff?"

"I think when all this is over I want to book a vacation, but I'm not great with computers." Paul seems weirdly shy . "Do you think you can help me look up stuff on the computer in the office?"

"Yeah, sure." I think nothing of it. I'm used to booking flights and planning shit. I get it that Paul may not be good with that stuff. "Let me just clean this up, real quick." I wink and put the books back on the shelf, then follow Paul into the office to help him book a trip.

We spend a good half hour looking at flights for different destinations, but Paul is being picky. He doesn't know whether he wants tropical or historical or what. He looks at his phone after a good twenty minutes and then throws in the towel.

"You know what.. I'm gonna have to think about what kind of vacation I want first. I can't make up my mind." He admits, and I shrug. The elevator intercom goes off and Paul leaves the office first to buzz Jonah in. I take a few extra minutes to look up that soccer stadium Nate was interested in down in Austin before shutting down the computer.

Jonah comes in with a bunch of supplies and heads to Nate's room for a few minutes before coming out and ordering pizza for everyone for dinner. It only takes ten minutes to get delivered tonight. I sit next to Paul at the kitchen island while Jonah passes out the plates and opens the pizza delivery.

Nate and Julia come out, and I study Nate to see what kind of mood we're in for tonight.

"Is there anything besides the shakes I can try? I'm starving." He asks. Shit. I forgot!

"Oh, right. Sorry, I forgot to ask. I got caught up." I look over my shoulder at Nate. I was busy NOT booking  vacation for indecisive Paul.

"How about we start with applesauce and see how you do." Jonah replies.

"Yum.." Julia says sarcastically while grabbing a slice of pizza, taking a huge bite, and happily walking away with her plate to the couch. Jonah notices. Of course, he notices. He has to log everything into the system later.

"I guess you DID need that nap. Look at you, Julia. You look happy and hungry. Both good signs." Jonah nods like a proud parent.

I text James while eating dinner. I haven't really seen much of him today.

[Where ya at James the Receptionist?]

[Just leaving my moms house. How's it going over there. Everyone behaving?]

I laugh a little at that text.

[So far, so good. We all know that can change in a matter of seconds, though]

[ No one's putting Jonah on edge tonight, are they? I want to ask him if I can break Julia outta there for a little while tomorrow. Just to even grab a bite to eat or something to get her out of that apartment.]

[ He seems to be in a good mood. I'll try to make sure he stays in one for ya]

Oh God, yes... please take her away from Nate for the day.

 Nate could use a day without the stress of Julia.
