Working for Work's Sake

[badbobbybarnes]

While Mel was inside, working on making food and lists, Bobby set himself to the task of designing her new desk. The work, having something to do besides stare at his hands, or at her, was good. It allowed him to push everything aside and focus on something purely physical.

Once he had a better idea of the size of the desk she needed, he started pulling wood from his collection. It took some doing but he had enough to, hopefully, build what she needed. Next, he went to check what he had for stains. He found a couple of lighter ones and he set them aside for her to pick. Only once all that was done did he go inside looking for her. And, maybe, eat some food.
