Yearning hearts
While the kitchen prepared for Zach and Xavier's meals, Xavier walked up to his brother's room. He knocked twice before walking in. Zach was currently sitting on his bed in fresh home clothes consisting of sweats and a shirt while his hair was still damp from a shower.
He had on his reading glasses as he looked at his tablet. Xavier walked in and went straight to the lounge before settling on a sofa. He loosened his tie and took off his jacket.
"So", he started as he stood to get himself a drink. "Don't you have something to tell me?"
"What?" Zach responded without looking up.
He was able to entertain his brother because Amy said she had gone off to cook. So while waiting for dinner, he would get some work done. If only he knew how to cook, he would be in the kitchen himself so it would feel like they were doing things together although apart. He sighed at his shortcomings.
