“What? OMG! I need to tell my friend we’ll catch up later. Do you have my address?” I start walking back toward Easton, finding his eyes already on me.
I smile at him, and he smiles back.
Like always. A steady presence in my life.
“Now we do. Ruin gave it to us since she and Rain couldn’t make it,” Carly chirps in.
“Yeah, the married woman ditched our whole interfriention thing for dick,” Daisy pipes in, and I burst out laughing.
“Hey, for you to commit to the same dick for the rest of your life, it must be a good one. So I get it,” I say as I reach my stool, and Easton’s eyes grow comically.
The girls start talking over each other, and I laugh at the chaos that’s definitely about to invade my apartment. But I’m looking forward to it.
I say goodbye to the girls and hang up.
“Everything okay?” Easton asks once my phone is back on the bar.
“Yes. It’s just a group of friends who decided to come to my place tonight, so I have to head out.”
Disappointment flashes across his face, but he quickly covers it with a smile. “Alright. I guess our conversation is tabled until next time,” he says, standing.
“Absolutely, I’m intrigued to hear about your proposal,” I say honestly.
I wave to the waiter, and he brings me the check.
“I got it,” Easton says as he reaches for his wallet.
“I already had a tab. But thank you,” I say as I sign and slide the check back to the bartender.
“Lunch next week?” he asks expectantly.
“Lunch, yes. Let me get back to you on the day.”
He nods as he wraps his arms around me. “So good to see you, Pens. Take care.”
I give him a small wave and head out to get my car.
Thank God for good friends.
I can’t wait to laugh my butt off with the girls and finally unwind for a while.

MacAllister’s Group Chat
Rain: Family supper at our place next Friday.
Miles: Couldn’t have been this past weekend? I had nothing to do.
Rain: And do you have plans this Friday?
Miles: Not yet, no.
Rain: Exactly.
Rain: Dinner at seven. No need to bring anything.
