I was at the office on a very rainy Friday thinking of yesterday . I was set on seeing Amina , both of them really, so I could apologize. In a turn of events we all ended up at Eddie's, and I ended up with plans to meet a pretty lady and grab a coffee on Saturday.
" Life's good," I said leaning back in my office chair.
Of course work without Alice is quite taxing, but I manage. All her calls are automatically redirected to my office's phone, and I make coffee or tea at home and bring it in a thermos. Alice sent this photograph the other day while I was out and said she's having the time of her life, which is great to hear.

I was getting last minute work done, but at the same time thinking of me and Amina's date Saturday. Of course recapping the days past I recalled how awkward she acted at the sight of the Lincoln guy. I mean who is he to her? Did he break her heart? She really seems like a fantastic woman, so what happened? Although I suppose it's best I don't find out, but I'm still curious so I might. I looked out the window to see it was yet again raining, it had let up a bit but here it was again.

I probably would've stayed around the office a bit longer but I'd finished up everything. I'm sure I was the only person left in the building, with the exception of the custodial staff and maybe Bryant and Todd, my head of building security. It was late so I decided on leaving, I hadn't eaten anyway so I was going to the store to pick up some things.
I pulled into the grocery store parking lot then headed inside. I went through and got a number of things, most of which were healthy. Don't get me wrong I'm not a fitness/nutrition junkie but I do like to keep up this physique I got. After I got everything I needed for dinner and the next few weeks I headed to check out. Due to the time there was like two checkout counters open, so I just went to the closest one. Behind the ring up was a girl popping her gum and filing her nails, looking absolutely bored. My 6'5 shadow loomed over her and she looked up instantly recognizing me. Gaping like a fish out of water she began speaking
"Yo-You're Nikolas Morreli," she said with a shocked look.
"That's me and you're Elise," I said reading her name tag.
