The smell doesn't change, ever.

Every once in a blue moon, whenever she visits this bar at the outskirts of the town, Sun finds herself filling her lungs with the rich musk of smoke and the mahogany mixed with sweetness of alcohol.

Turning right from the poultry farm, there was the main road to the town. The very old and thick oak tree was chopped down, it's stem as well as root still holding onto the ground solemnly. And leaving that behind, the path will take one straight to the small bar cum restaurant; whose billboard was now hanging on the top lopsidedly because of yesterday's storm.

With slow and determined steps, Sun walked towards the bar. The wood beneath her feet creaked due to the impact of her heavy leather ankle boots and without any hesitation, she opened the door and entered the bar with the sweet chime of the dreamcatcher; as if she owned the place.

The men spreaded here and there on the table spared her their vicious looks. All of them especially the regular visitors knew her as the mysterious woman who probably comes here to dump her weapons and drugs for dealing. With bold steps she occupied the seat at the bar and crossed her arms on the table, resting her chin and looking fondly at the direction where the redhead was taking the tacos out of the oven.

"Order number 43! Please come and receive.... OH MY GOD! Sunshine???"

Sun sat up straight from her seat with a ear stretching grin and opened her arms.

The man got rejected from the harissa sauce because the bar owner was busy running over to the opposite site and throw herself into the tall woman's arms. They stayed connected for at least five seconds, giggling and then with the uncontrollable smile on her face, the redhead pulled apart.

"It's been three months! I thought you forgot about me!"

"I'm so sorry Reb!" Sun cupped her cheeks with her palms, "I've been really busy!"

There was no need to pay attention to people's stare and rude customers as long as the S12K was full on display on the wall; which Sun had gifted her four years ago on her birthday. Let's just say she had to bribe her with ancient jewelry collection into learning marksmanship for her own safety being at this part of town.

They returned to their previous positions and Rebecca kept rambling, "I know you are busy with your clan aff..... " She looked around, lowering her voice, "Your clan business is important too. But... " She whined, "what does it take to just come here and pay me a visit once in a while?"

"Well... Let's just say I was not in a good position. And... I was worried about your safety too."

Rebecca put her palm on Sun's hand. "I get it."

"But I have good news this time."

Rebecca's eyes widened for a second and she whisper screamed, "Wait! Did your mom wake up? Did the bastard die? Are you now going back to Kim?"

"Hold up! Hold up!" Sun raised both of her hands in the air, "First, yes. Second, no. And third.... I don't know what to do!"

"Gurllllll.... " Rebecca facepalmmed, "you're turning fourty one this year and you don't know how to confront your lover?"

"I'm not even sure if he.... "

"Rebecca! You're supposed to give me the grocery list for tomorrow..... Hi there....!"
