By the time Alessa had gotten through that afternoon's ethics seminar, her anticipation was palpable. The entire way home she fought the urge to run, until it finally overtook her as the Zeta Epsilon Pi house peeked into view. Dashing up the stairs, Alessa headed straight down the hall and burst into Janie's room.
"Janie! I know you're mad at me and you're right - I was totally out of line and I'm sorry. But I've got something to tell you." Alessa spat the words out as fast as her lips would take them, gesturing emphatically with her hands.
Janie, who had been hanging laundry in her closet, turned quickly in Alessa's direction, a look of relief on her face. "So you decided to take my advice and think things through a little before you try to contact Isaac again?"
Alessa deflated. "Well…" She wasn't sure how to continue.
