Maya had waved to the waitress.
- "yes my pretties?"
- "do you have cheesecake?"
- "sure"
- "yes sorry, what cheesecake do you have?"
- "caramel, raspberry, Oreo"
The blonde had looked at the brunette and didn't need to speak.
- "can we have a slice of raspberry cheesecake with two forks please?"
- "right away, can I get you some more coffee?"
- "yes thank you" replied Carina.
The waitress had left before returning five minutes later with the plate and coffee to fill their cup.
-"Thank you," said both women at the same time.
-"I'm going to be indiscreet but I can at my age, how come you're so well dressed?"
- "we just came back from our alumni reunion." Maya replied
- "oh lovely. And you've been together since high school?"
- "we were together, in high school... We haven't seen each other for, like, thirteen years" replied the Italian girl
- "oh sorry, I thought you were together, your looks, all that... I'm sorry".
-"There is no problem" said Maya with a sincere smile.
- "enjoy your meal my pretties".
- "thank you"
The blonde had plunged her fork into the slice and brought the utensil to Carina's mouth.
- "I know you've always had a problem with the tip of the cake."
- "what's the best part of the cake"
- "the whole cake tastes the same!"
- "no the tip is better! Really! When you dip your fork in it you get the perfect amount..." She had made quite a speech and Maya was smiling, slightly mocking her, her hand still in the air, her elbow on the table.
- "well do you want it?" Asked the blonde
The Italian had grabbed the blonde's forearm with her hand and had moved the fork towards her mouth, she had taken the piece while looking at Maya.
- "hmmmm, it's really good"
- "that's... That's why I, why I come here. It doesn't look like a good place to hang, but the, the cheesecakes are, like, to die for."
Carina had blushed and bowed her head to a stuttering Maya.
Matt Wait's Wait for Love had started playing in the diner.
'It's like a quarter to three and I just can't sleep
'Cause I'm thinking of you
And all those times we cried
Did we really try?
Now I'm dreaming in blue
[It's a quarter to three and I can't sleep

- "what could I have..." Maya began
-"...listen to this song..." Carina continued
-"... After London" finished the blonde.
'No matter where we say goodbye
I tell you baby
Keep your head high
