I wait in the park for Emerson. It’s Tuesday lunchtime and she is on her lunch break. We haven’t been seeing each other as much as we would like to. Not since she met Alastar and I began sneaking around with Julian. In a bid to solve that problem, I’ve started making lunch for us both on a morning and meeting her here each day.
“Hello, my beautiful friend.” I smile as she drops down onto the picnic blanket beside me. I open her a can of drink and put the straw in for her, passing it over with a smile.
“I’m missing you.” She frowns.
“I know, me too.” I hand her a sandwich.
“How’s work going?” I ask.
“Yeah, it’s okay. I don’t really know what I’m doing, though.”
We chew our food. “How’s your spunky boss?”
I smile, I’m going to try and ease her into the idea of Julian and I. “Spunky?”
