Progression Ch. 01

... It's not like I need liposuction or anything. Just a change in diet and some exercise. Besides, I've always wanted to take up yoga; it looks fun!"

Rory chewed on his bottom lip, his gaze focused outside of the balcony of his apartment and at the darkening sky beyond. He knew she was right, getting and staying active was never a bad idea, especially since she had a pretty stationary job as an office assistant for their town's local library. Besides, it was her life, not his. If she wanted to break a sweat at the gym, then he would support her. In fact...

"Hey, I have an idea," he said slowly, his brain racing to put all the details in order, "what if we got active together?"

"What do you mean, honey?"

"I don't need to lose weight but I'm kinda scrawny."

"You're slim," she firmly argued,"just like your father."

Rory smiled wanly. Now he understood how she felt when he got all up in arms a few minutes ago. "I know, ma, but I think I'd look good with some muscle. Maybe then I can finally get a girlfriend..." he grumbled, hinting at his less than stellar dating record. His mom didn't really say anything to that, so he continued on. "We could hold each other accountable and share progress pics and stuff like that."

"Good idea." Rory's fingers flew over his keyboard, the loud clacking of the keys immensely satisfying. "I'll get some, too," he muttered, half-distracted by his search results.

"This is pretty exciting."

Rory smiled as he clicked through the multiple tabs he had opened, starting first with combing through the gyms' membership fees. "Yeah?" he asked, wincing right after when he saw the prices.

At this rate, he may as well just buy some equipment and do stuff at home. His job paid well but he didn't have a roommate to split the expenses with, not to mention he was still paying off his car. He'd have to do some more digging.

"Yeah. I miss you, y'know," she said, her voice going demure, making Rory pause."Things have been pretty quiet around here lately and... I just miss having you around to brighten my day."

Rory took a shaky breath. It wasn't the first time she had told him that, but there was something in her voice that made it sound like she was really feeling the loss of his presence. A year ago, he would have taken that as a sign that he should quit his job and move back home, but now he just nodded, ...
