[Ambrosia Bellemore]

We sit awkwardly in silence until I can't take it anymore.

"So, what are you doing these days?"

His eyes, completely focused on the laptop screen in front of him, glance at me for a second and then turn back.

"Designing."

I nod in deep thought. Benjamin, during our High School years, always talked about being a soccer player. He finally grew up from his dreams, I guess.

"You're going to New York too, huh?"

He gives me a sly glance, again. I fidget.

"Yes."

"Cool."

Silence.

I sigh. It's going to be a long flight.

The woman thought me to be someone else, and so I found it in my best interest to make as less conversation with her as I could.

She was persistent, though.

"Remember senior year?" She began and I give a small sigh. "Remember the mud pie we fed George?"

"How can I ever forget that." I mumble. I was trying to concentrate on my work, but I wasn't even past the first line of my draft.

"Yeah." She says, waiting for my response. She gives up soon, though and puts on her headphones with an exasperated huff.

I settle down comfortably and try to concentrate, when she yanks her headphones off.

"Do you remember when..?"

I sigh. It's going to be a long flight.

Frankly, even though this is a short chapter. I loved, enjoyed writing this. More later!♡
