Sliding down my sunglasses over my eyes, I step out of the car with the bodyguard holding up an umbrella to shield me from the drizzle. As I make my way towards the restaurant entrance, I instruct the guard to wait outside. Tonight, it's just Rebecca and me for our usual girls' dinner, and I want it to be just like old times, with no guards in tow.
Upon reaching our table, I spot Rebecca engrossed in her phone. A warm smile spreads across my face as I approach her. Our friendship has stood the test of time, even with our diverging paths and busy schedules, we always manage to make time for each other.
"Hey, girl, how's it going?" I greet her with a friendly peck on the cheek before taking my seat.
Setting her phone aside, Rebecca looks up with a smile and responds, "Never been better."
