off that.
    Ethan walked up to where Lenard was. Ethan was wearing a jacket that fell in between a trench coat and a standard jacket. He had skinny jeans on with a couple of rips and a chain dangling from his jeans pocket. He gave Lenard a smile.
    “ Hello, Lenard.”
    “ Hello, Ethan.”
    “ Lenard, I know you’re super bright. I just need some understanding on a few things.”
    “Fair enough. ”
    Lenard decided to help Ethan and gave him understanding on the academic parts he was struggling with. Lenard appreciated his directness and was happy to help.                             
    The lecturer commenced the exam and everyone had their heads down concentrating on their paper. Ethan started sketching a picture of Kali. He showed Lenard.
    “ It’s a good luck picture,” Ethan said.
    Exam finished and c lass was up. Ethan got up quickly and walked out with Christian, leaving the Exam room and headed down the corridor. Carl was talking to a girl and they left him to it.
    “ How did it go?” Christian asked.
    “ Perfect, there were a couple of questions I knew I would get stuck on. That’s why I sat next to Lenard, he’s a genius. He gave me the understanding I needed. Sometimes you just have to head towards the support.”
    “ I should have sat next to you.”
    “ And get Carl next to you. Answers going through the chain, a Dandelion chain.”
    “ Sounds like a children’s story.”
    “ Oh yes, when I said I had something to tell you at the poker game, I did mean it.”
    “ I remember, I thought it was just part of your strategy to bluff.”
    “ No, it’s about Chuck, the first feeling when I met him, I just knew he was a cop. I get those feelings as you know.”
    “ Fuck, really?”
    “ Yeah, really man, just letting you know.”
    Ethan could see Kali coming down the corridor towards him and realized he had to shoot the gap and be with her.
    “ I have to run, here she comes. I will talk to you later,” Ethan said.
    Ch ristian walked off thinking about what Ethan had just told him and Ethan walked right up to Kali. There were people everywhere walking around and for Ethan to see her pop up out of the blue at college made him feel light on his feet, with a spring step. Again she radiated, the pull was electric. Ethan felt for a moment almost fearful, in the way her beauty gave him nervousness. She was so gorgeous to him that she nearly gave him insecurities.
    “Hi,” Ethan said.
    “Hi, you look quite cute carrying those books.
    “ Thank you,” Ethan laughed. “were you okay missing class the other day?”
    “Oh yeah fine.”
    They kept chatting, Ethan leaning in with Kali resting against the locker. It was like they needed some time to warm up after the intensity of seeing each other again, and when Ethan could feel normal again he would bring it up, the situation with her wedding ring. A couple of minutes in and he was ready.
    “ I saw it the other day, not that it matters in some ways. You have a wedding ring on, so I assume you are married, though it would seem he’s not here with you.” Ethan looked at her as he said it and saw the layers of her beauty in her face, the full lips, the high cheek bones and the love in her face. The way she looked he felt he could tell her anything and she could understand. Her vivacious face seemed to tell him everything, like it glowed and listened with just her expressions. It was like he could just face her and say nothing and she would understand. When he looked at her he felt his eyes nearly water. It was the depth of her, the depth of him. Her beauty was nearly making him cry. He blinked a few times to reduce the water.
    “ Yeah I know…I am married, Ethan. It’s a big subject to just pull out…I know it’s significant so I will tell you.”
    Just then Lenard walked past.
    “ This is the girl I was drawing,” Ethan said to Lenard.
    “ Okay..nice,” Lenard replied and kept walking.
    “ Sorry please keep going,”
