Nerissa & Q

I'm Here

"Hello hello how's my favorite barista doing?"

❝Better...I'm getting better.❞

"That's great to hear. I'm relieved. So, how's this job of yours? We never really talked about it."

❝It's fine, I guess. Oliver makes it bearable. My manager is always getting drunk in the back room because his wife divorced him. He slept with someone else while drunk and it was just...a mess to hear about.❞

"Is that you manage to continue to talk on the phone?"

❝Yes it is. He's too busy getting drunk to notice. It's a shame really. He was so happy before.❞

"Will he be happy again?"

❝I hope so. Happiness...it's a rare thing for people that go through things such as that.❞

"Nerissa, are you happy right now?"

❝I don't know.❞

"Is it your parents? Or sisters? I'll go beat them up. Probably, not, but I can lecture them."

❝Q, that's sweet of you. Please don't.❞

"I want you to be happy."

❝Okay.❞

"Nerissa what's wrong?"

❝Nothing, I just...I'm not up for conversation right now.❞

"Oh, alright, but may I tell you one thing?"

❝Yes you may.❞

"I'm here for you. I will always be here for you. As a friend. Maybe even something more in the future. I just, I really want to make sure you're okay."

❝I'm really glad I met you Quentin.❞

"Ditto."

❝You ruined this by mentioning Pokemon.❞

"Ha. You know me."

❝I'm glad I do, in fact know you.❞
