===============================

Tesse sat on the first bench she found in the locker room, feeling her stomach quivering. She wasn't sure if she was ready for that something that had hoped-dreamed- for years.

But there was only a way to find out.

She sauntered towards her locker, changed her scrubs into a pair of blue jeans, a peach shirt, and a caramel jacket on top. Her hands were trembling while she was zipping it up. Then, she exited to the main entry and waited a few feet away from the doors.

A couple of minutes after, she heard a "hey" behind her back.

"Hey"-Tesse answered, her voice barely a whisper.

"So, did you think about my plan?"

After the kiss, she felt confused and slightly regretful for being so weak, because there were so many things both had to say. And as if ten years hadn't passed, he could read her like a book. He proposed her to go to his place to have a proper talk without noises and intromissions.

"Yeah, and I accept."

"Your favorite dish is still luau stew?"

Tesse froze. The question had been thrown so out of the blue, and with such specific information that it took her a while to process it.

How he could remember that? she thought.

"Y... you still remember?"

"Yeah, practically the 90% of the time it reminds me of you, if it's not always, but I don't want to brag."

He gave her a charming smile that made Tesse melt more than she already was.

"Wow. I don't know what to say."

"Yes? No? I actually hate it now?"

"Oh, that."-Her cheeks flushed-"Yes, it is still my favorite"

"Cool, because near my place there is a Hawaiian restaurant I wanna try."

He pulled out his phone and after a few touches he took it to his ear

"Goodnight, I would like two luau stew... Takeout... Great. By any chance do you have strawberry mochi? Really? Cool. Yes, two, please. Bryce Lahela. Thank you. I'll be there in twenty, good night."

He pocketed his phone into the inner layer of his jacket.

"All settled. I hope you don't mind I imposed my dinner election."

"I don't. I actually had been wondering if there were any good places here."

"Yeah, me too. When I arrived last week, I tried one downtown. It was great but could've been better. Maybe I just got used to my favorite at Stanford."

They took the train and chatted about their day, trying to avoid more uncomfortable topics. It still felt awkward. Tesse was having a hard time trying to accept that after years of wishing, Bryce was by his side, and would probably be back as she always dreamed.
