Our Immeasurable Bond

Chapter 10

Enid was browsing through clothes at a boutique, her eyes scanning the racks for the perfect outfit.

She was out shopping with Yoko, celebrating the news that Yoko and Divina had finally gotten together. It was a momentous occasion that deserved a special celebration.

"So, something really happened between you two," Enid said, holding up a dress to inspect it.

Yoko, who was flipping through a rack of jackets, sighed. "I was drunk, okay? I didn’t even know how it happened," she replied, her voice a mix of exasperation and amusement.

Enid chuckled, shaking her head. "You always say that, and I can't believe you left her after that"

Yoko rolled her eyes but couldn’t hide her smile. "Yeah, yeah. It just... took me by surprise, that’s all."

Enid put the dress back and moved to another section, picking up a pair of jeans. "Well, I’m happy for you. You both deserve it"

Yoko’s smile widened. "Thanks, Enid. It’s been a long time coming, I guess. And now, I have to figure out what to wear for this celebration. Divina’s coming over later, and I want to look... nice."

Enid laughed. "Look at you, all flustered over what to wear. Who knew Yoko could be such a romantic?"

"Shut up," Yoko said, playfully swatting at Enid. "You’re one to talk. You and Wednesday are basically inseparable now."

Enid blushed slightly but grinned. "Yeah, well, she’s special to me."

Yoko chuckled. "Of course she is. She's your girlfriend after all"

Enid stuck her tongue out at Yoko. "Now help me find something fabulous to wear. We have a lot to celebrate, after all."

They continued shopping, their banter filled with laughter. Enid felt a surge of happiness for her friend, knowing that Yoko and Divina’s relationship was something worth celebrating.

Finally, after what seemed like hours of searching and trying on clothes, they both found the perfect outfits. Enid held up a sleek, stylish dress, while Yoko opted for a chic, casual ensemble that suited her perfectly.

With their purchases in hand, they headed out of the store, their spirits high. The afternoon sun cast a warm glow on the streets as they made their way to Yoko's place to change.

Later, Wednesday made her way to the bar Enid had texted her. As she approached the entrance, she could hear the hum of conversation and the clinking of glasses. She pushed open the door and stepped inside, her eyes immediately scanning the room.

It didn’t take long for her to spot Enid, who was standing at a table, animatedly talking to a small group of people. Enid’s laughter rang out, and Wednesday couldn’t help but smile at the sight. Yoko was there too, along with Divina and the others.

Wednesday made her way through the crowd, her dark attire contrasting sharply with the colorful decorations that adorned the bar.

Enid looked up and her face lit up with joy. "Wednesday!" she exclaimed, rushing over to give her a hug. The hug was brief but warm, and it left Wednesday feeling a little lighter.

Yoko grinned and raised her glass in a toast. "To new beginnings and long-awaited romances!" she declared, her eyes twinkling mischievously.

Enid grabbed a glass and handed it to Wednesday. "Join us in the toast?"

Wednesday took the glass, her eyes meeting Enid’s. "To new beginnings," she echoed, her voice softer but sincere.

They all clinked their glasses together, and for a moment, the noise of the bar seemed to fade away. It was just them, a small group of friends celebrating their triumphs and their bonds. They sipped their drinks, the alcohol warming them from the inside out.
