The awkwardness from breakfast didn't abate when Vanessa came home that night. I tried to get her to sit down with me for dinner, but she said she was tired and took her plate up to her room. I couldn't really blame her, I suppose. I had no great answer for how things were going with us. She must have been trying to avoid an awkward morning the next day beca...
