Dork Diaries - A New Beginning Part 2

Meeting Max

January 20th
Wednesday

I got in contact with Paulina today and we planned to meet on Sunday.

It seemed so weird to hear her voice over the phone after so long.

The day was pretty normal, Brandon went to work, I took care of the girls and did some cooking, cleaning, laundry, the usual.

The sun was shining outside but it was still chilly, it is still January after all.

I wrapped the girls and myself in warm clothes and off we went to the park.
The girls in their triplet stroller and me, pushing them along.

The air was freah and crispy and barley anyone was around.
It was really quiet.
It was beautiful.

I was walking with the stroller and humming softly to myself, when I noticed Oliver's brother, Max sitting on a bench.

Max is Brandon's best friend who moved to New Jersey after graduating college and now works as a baker there.

"Nikki, is that you?" he asked when he saw me.

"Yeah it is."

"Are those the triplets? Brandon send me some pictures, but they are even cuter in real life."

"Aww thanks. I haven't seen you for such a long time, did you come here to visit Oliver?"

"I sure did. I was so worried when I heard what happened."

"Yeah, Brianna was so upset."

"Isn't Brianna Oliver's girlfriend?"

"Yup. How are you doing in New Jersey?"

"I'm doing great. I'm glad that I'm able to pursue my dream job and I also found my dream girl. "

"Congrats. What's her name."

"Gabriela Knights."

"That's great."

"Thanks. I do miss this place a lot though."

"So what brings you to the park?"

"Just came here to get some fresh air."

"Same here. So, how long are you staying here?"

"I'm going back this Saturday."

With that, we said goodbye because Max was going to go see Oliver at the hospital.

I remember when I met MacKenzie and Daniel, it was really near to where I met Max today.

Coincidence? I don't know.
They were all probably here because of childhood memories at the park.

All my friends and I would come here a lot (including Max), and I remember seeing MacKenzie here quite a bit here too.

All these good memories that were made here, saying that makes me feel old.
