>"How've you been?" he cheerfully addresses me.
>"Pretty good actually, started my own business." He's genuinely surprised at this.
>"You?" I return the question.
>"Pretty well, got back from deployment and uh.." He gathers himself a second.
>"I met Lucy recently." She's going by Lucy again, then?
>"She's..." he clenches his jaw and fists.
>"Moved on. Got herself a nice ptero husband. Met him through church." Anon's voice is strained. Guess he still like her.
>I hate to see him like this.
>"I'm sorry to hear that." I feel that I played a hand in this, the guilt overwhelming.
>"It's fine... I just. I hoped it turned out different. I dunno."
>"So what are you doing here, then?" I continue the small talk
>"Was on my home from work. I'm a recruiter now. Saw this and I have some medical training, thought I might put it to use but everyone seems fine." he shrugs. Guess I can talk about work now as well.
>"Yeah I was on my way to meet with an investor for lunch." I check my phone and notice a text
>They cancelled. Huh.
>"Speak of the devil. Looks like that fell through." I click my tongue at the fickle bastard. "The reservation is still there so I'm probably gonna go anyway." I look up to see Anon is slightly curious.
>"Well then it was nice seeing you again Trish, I'll get out of your hair." he starts to turn to leave but suddenly I feel that I owe him an explanation or an apology. I speak.
>"Hey actually you said you're not busy, right? Wanna tag along? We gotta catch up after all these years right?"
>Anon blinks a few times "Huh. Sure. You sure you're okay with this? I know we didn't leave on the best terms."
>"Water under the bridge. I honestly needed to apologize anyway. Why not now?" I smile at him
>I quickly check my phone to see the uber has been cancelled and call the local taxi service to pick the two of us up. Maybe I can finally get this off my chest.
