Why this must be read:
This story, set right after "Honor Code," is a beuatiful examination of Tim's feelings for Abby. It's romantic and you can't help but hope that things work out for him. It's written from Tim's POV.

Lying there so peacefully, skin as white as snow framed by hair black as ebony, with lips red as a rose, it strikes me that she looks just like Snow White, the beautiful fairy tale princess. I chuckle quietly at the craziness of the analogy. Abby's about as far as one can get from a Disney character,

She turns off all the computers in the lab, then looks back at me. "Coming?"

I nod and follow her through the lab doors. "Um, Abby?" She looks up at me questioningly.

"Well, um, I was just wondering... I mean, since we're having dinner together, and it's so late, I just thought it'd be easier if... maybe you'd like to crash at my place tonight?" We've stopped walking, and she's just standing there listening to me ramble on like an idiot. I swallow hard, imagining all her possible responses, from the blunt "No" to the slightly more forceful "Get lost, you loser."

But she surprises me yet again. "Won't your girlfriend have something to say about that? What's her name again? The one that sent you that porn video... Anna, wasn't it?" The rational part of my brain insists that I'm imagining that resentful edge in her voice. The dreamy part tells the rational part to shut up.
