"Here's your drink. Enjoy!" Luna said in a cheery voice, handing a customer their drink.

"I still can't believe her." Justine grunted, thinking about Luna and Stella's reunion.

"It's whatever, as long as i never have to see her again, I'll be fine."

"Was she there with somebody else?"

"Some man. I don't know, he stood in the back, I didn't see his face. I think it's her husband though."

"Surprised someone would want to marry that bitch."

This made Luna laugh. As soon as she had gotten home, she called Justine and she rushed right over, consoling her best friend. They talked the whole night, and Luna felt a lot better with her best friend by her side.

"Anyway, what's up with you and Harry?" Justine question while wiping the counter.

"What do you mean?"

"What do you think I mean. He visits you everyday, you guys even go on walks at the park. That screams romance, not even Max does that, and we're actually dating."

"We're just friends." Luna says, a bit annoyed with all the questions surrounding Harry.

"For now." Justine smirked, and Luna threw her dish rag and Justine, who was now howling with laughter.

Just then the phone rings, and Justine goes to get it. Luna watched as she got up, and sauntered toward the phone. There were a few words exchanged between her and the other person on the line, before that knowing smirk grew on her face.

"Lunaaaa," Justin said in a sing songy voice. "The phone is for you."

Luna walked over to the phone, with a scowl on her face with all of this unwanted attention that Justine was giving her. It started to make her feel awkward and uncomfortable.

"Hello?" Luna says to the caller on the other line.

"Hey, it's Harry." Luna looked up at Justine whose smile was so big, Luna mouthed to her to shove off, and Justine laughed walking toward the counter to go cater to their customers.

"Hey, is everything alright?" Luna asks.

"Um. yeah. I'm not really feeling good, so do you think you can drop me off something from the cafe. I would hate to break our well built and well followed agreement." She could practically hear the smile in his voice.

"I suppose I could. It's gonna cost you extra though." Luna laughed into the phone.

"Ah, it's a price I'm willing to pay. See you soon."

"Bye."

Luna hung up the phone and finished all of the other orders that were before Harry's. Once she finished that, she made him a doggy bag, filled with some treats courtesy of the cafe, and one piping hot to go cup of hot chocolate.

"I'll be back soon, I'm going out for lunch." Luna called out to her co-workers.

"Hmm, have fun Luna." Justine smirked.

Luna stuck the finger at Justine as she headed out the door, into her air conditioned car, and started to drive toward Harry's house. Although she was alone in the car, the quiet lull of the radio kept her company. It was peaceful. Luna got out of her car and started to head toward Harry's house. She knocked on the door and waited until some girl that she did not she did not recognize opened the door.

"Yeah?" The girl asked. It wasn't rude, but it wasn't welcoming either.

"Um, this is for Harry." Luna said politely.
