Perhaps

I've had this 'roomy' for 2 months. Now i'll admit its been strange, probably for the both of us, exacerbated by our mutual social awkwardness.
Roomy, in the last two months, has never really been one to say hello, preferring her hellos and goodbyes be the sound of her key turning in the lock. It used to bother me, then gradually i stopped expecting an acknowledgment. When I did say hello, I did so with a haste and she begrudgingly offered up some grumbled response like haveagoodday.

On paper(i.e. emails) we seemed compatible roommates, but I was beginning to think that we werent. We moved through the days like 2 icebergs, careful not to bump into each other, not sure which one would thaw out first. I'd ask her off the wall questions which she succinctly answered. She never asked questions, just answered them and occasionally displayed her more solicitous side via an email.

So imagine my surprise when on my way outside to the car i passed my assiduous roommate on the couch. She stopped typing, looked up and said a soft but sincere 'hey'. I stopped, turned, not sure if I was hearing things. She looked at me like she sometimes does, out the corner of her eye and slightly amused grin.

Maybe this might work out after all.
