"Oh my god! Is that MacaRonnie I seeeeeee?!?!"

Ah yes...the nickname.

"Your eyes don't deceive y'a!"

Her smile practically lights up the bar as she rushes toward me to give me one of the best hugs in the world. Her hugs felt like you've just been hugged by rainbows, puppies, sprinkles, and fluffy clouds. She is the word 'comfort' to me.

"I've missed you so much Ronnie! When Heather.."

She took a sigh after her name. She definitely knew along with everyone at work now. It was common knowledge in our building. A death that will probably someday be on a ghost tour of the city. A death that will become NY history...let's hope I'm not included in that history though.

"..moved me to another floor I was devastated and I've been trying to come up to see you or get lunch but I'm swamped with work! I'm sorry about that."

I give her a reassuring look as we go to get a seat.

"Heather it's alright don't worry about it. I've been swamped as well, sometimes I'm the only one left in the building when it's 1:00 at night. Let's not worry about work now though. We are finally reunited let's have fun!"

"Hell yeah!"

We both giggle before ordering our drinks. She orders a cosmo and I order a last word. How fitting of a drink name for me.

"Soooo what's new with my favorite friend ever?!"

Definitely can't tell the full truth but I'll tell a good amount of it.

"Ohhh nothing just a super fine man became my new assistant and we might be you know...dating now."

All of a sudden my bright yellow adorned friend let out a squeal that could probably be heard across the world and did turn a few heads.

"That amazing! Ooo you have to help me plan your wedding! Oh! I can already picture it! I'm thinking a gigantic cake with-

"Woah Woah Woah slow down. We haven't even said 'i love you' yet okay?" I take a sip of my drink while I let out a small chuckle. One thing about Heather Mac is that when she is happy for you, she is HAPPY for you. She'll immediately go off to whatever magical yellow  adorned world she visits at times and come up with these fantastical plans.

"Oh. Well, I'll just store those ideas away till we get closer to that time. So? What's his name? What's he like? Give me some details!"

"Alright well his name is Jason Dean but he goes by Jd and he's very handsome, caring, compassionate, clever, and he would do anything for me. We even think alike or have the same opinions on things. I swear we share half a brain."

She swirls around her brightly colored cosmo as she listens with an excited smile that could burst at any moment into another squeal.

"Aww he sounds perfect for you! I can tell he's a keeper. I mean if he is all that in one package then I don't know if it gets any better."

My brain takes a small detour while she chats. I think about him and the little things he does to make my life just that bit more worth living. He must love me. Maybe I should just say it? I'm sure he will feel the same.

"Well,enough about me,I want to know how you've been."

"Oh, you know I've just been getting work done, cooking and baking as much as I can in my free time, and I have adopted another pet!"

"Another?! Heather isn't your mansion already a zoo?"

She hits my shoulder playfully before taking a sip of her drink and responding.
