chapter 27

November 27th, 2015. Friday, 08:23 p.m.

Katya did end up taking her to a cafe, just like she had mentioned that day at the party.

They met there and stayed until they got dirty looks from the staff, after talking and laughing and holding hands the entire afternoon. At work, Trixie has to pretend that her head is still attached to her neck, but it is actually way up in the sky, surrounded by clouds, butterflies, and Katya. She smiles, feeling her cheeks heat as she hands someone a cup of Coke. "Enjoy your movie," she says. The middle-aged man thanks her and makes his way into the screening room, knowing fully well the movie has already started.

Trixie uses the lack of any other customers as an opportunity to take out her phone.

From: Trixie

hi, i just wanted to say thanks for today :)

i had a great time

can't wait to see u again

"I have a wild guess of who you're texting," Shangie says. Trixie looks up, already smiling.

"Is it that obvious?"

"You should see your own face," the girl laughs. "I'm happy for you, though. If you two didn't get together after everything you told me the other day I think I'd throw both of you off a bridge."

Trixie laughs. "We went on a date today, a real date." Shangie rests her chin on her hands, ready to listen. "It was mostly meant for us to talk things over, and we did, but of course we also ended up talking about... I don't know, everything else. She's so easy to talk to..."

"You're so in love," Shangie sighs. "It's nice to see it. You deserve good things."

"I mean, I think in love is a strong way to put it... We're getting there, chill out." Shangie chuckles, but before Trixie can respond her phone dings. She unlocks it immediately.
