You are making some new friends though, right?

A week ago her question would have freaked me out, but remembering my chat with Becca at the Open House, I actually have a good answer.

Freya

Maybe?

I hope so?

Luci

OMG yay!

Who?

You don’t like them more than me though, right?

Freya

Never.

She’s called Becca, she owns the diner across the street.

Luci

Cute!

You guys can wave at each other

YOU SHOULD HOLD UP NOTES IN THE WINDOWS

I laugh. She might be joking, but Becca and I actually have waved at each other at least once or twice a day. We haven’t had a chance to talk properly since the event, but I’ve been popping into the diner every day to pick up my lunch.

Freya

Hahaha!

I think we’d confuse the customers.

She’s really nice, though.

Luci

That makes me so happy

Look at you! You’re a social butterfly!

You’re gonna be running that town before you know it

She’s always had more faith in me than I have.

Freya

Also.

That guy just showed up at the library.

She replies immediately, unfazed by the change of subject.
