October 25th, a Saturday, could not have been a more action-packed day for Luther. He wasted no time in the morning. He rose at 8, and realizing that he was not hung over on a Saturday morning for the first time in weeks, he decided to make the best of it and go for a long jog. Circling out of his miniature turnaround driveway in front of his high-rise, he started at a slow trot towards the lake.
Rory and Ireena woke up apart from each other. The two had taken a short walk together, Rory in the direction of his house, and Ireena in the direction of the train stop. When they reached Rory’s house, he invited her in, but she politely declined. Still, not willing to part forever yet, Rory politely asked if he could call her sometime. Ireena coolly gave her number and said she would see him around.
For Ted, a lot of his past issues had abated. There he was, lying in bed with a beautiful widow. He didn’t know that Penelope could never really love him. But he wasn’t exactly thinking about that. He was thinking about whether or not he would sleep with her again this next night, and whether their tryst would go on into the work week. He didn’t want things to be weird. He calmed himself, and he reasoned that if she was a beautiful, wonderful girl in her right, who cares that she worked with him? Why should that automatically remove her from the world of dating?
