Gemotions

The news about Jake’s fake “travel writer” career – he worked at a desk – brought about a strange mix of emotions in Peter. He was less offended and more… burdened. He knew Jake's struggles with his mental health.

Peter knew where Jake would be: at the library, surrounded by books. Peter found him in the quiet reading room, hunched over a laptop. Peter sat down at the table and began taking out his own books, and the two friends continued to sit and work.

After a few minutes, Peter asked, "Need a break?" He offered a small smile, a silent offer of friendship.
