June groaned and looked up from her phone. “I figured out why the Dean’s mad at me again. And this time, he might have a reason.”
Even Peter’s laughter sounded Irish sometimes, rolling and somehow kind. He reached for her feet, clad in thick boot socks, and began rubbing. “Tell me?”
“Well, I may have spilled coffee on my keyboard again.”
“June.” He stopped working the magic on her feet, then restarted after her small noise of protest. “You needed a new laptop again already?”
“Worse,” she muttered, and draped her upper half over the couch’s pillows dramatically, waving her phone. “Nothing like a stuck key to make your day Interesting. With a capital letter I.”
He fought to keep a smile from aggravating her further. “What’d you do, accidentally volunteer for everything or start a reply-all email chain?”
“Pretty sure I sent him an email that ended in nothing but the letter F, over and over…”
He could not restrain the awkward cough.

This week’s prompt about a stuck key was from Leigh Kimmel – watch for pattern additions from my prompt to nother Mike, and find much more (and play along yourself!) over at Odd Prompts. Cheers!
