TESSA
When dinner came around, I was as hungry as a horse. I ordered prime rib which Enzo helped me finish. His appetite was as big as he was.
We waited for the check, and I excused myself to the restroom. On my way back down the hallway to the dining room, I saw my good friend HoHo outside on the patio, standing under the oak trees.
I opened the French doors and called out to him, “HoHo!”
He held his arms wide, ready to catch me as he’d done since we became best friends in third grade. Instead, I launched myself into his embrace. No way was I getting my legs around him in this floor-length maxi dress, and the wardrobe fail could cause the tube top to drop below my breasts.
He lifted me off the ground and swung me in circles.
“What are you doing here?” I asked.
“Keep a secret?”
