I follow after her quietly taking in my surroundings. Home... how long has it been since I've been here...? 5 years? Feels like just yesterday I left... I sigh sadly.
I glance over at my boss; silently asking if I was done for the day.
He acknowledges me and says, "Asher, you may go. I'll see you bright and early tomorrow."
I walk away without another word. It may be a crummy job but at least it pays the bills... I start the long walk home; passing by the port on my way. Must be nice to be out on the sea... No. You will not think about the sea... It will only... lead to thoughts of... her.

Growing excited, I say, with a childlike wonder in my eyes, "Ooooh, there's so much to see and do here! Um... where would you like to go first?"
My eyes widen as a girl runs into me. I say softly, looking into her eyes, "I'm so sorry... Are you okay?"
I watch the two with mild interest. Wait... is that... him...? He hasn't changed much... still the tall, brown-haired, blue-eyed guy I befriended all those years ago...
I clear my throat alerting my presence. Oh, god... what do I do when he recognizes me...?
I tilt my head, smirking at the other girl. "Oh, I didn't notice you there. Would you enjoy a tour as well?" Those eyes... they feel familiar... where have I seen them before...?
I bite my lip. Damnit... he doesn't recognize me... I glance at Aria then back at him and say, "Sure."
"Then it's settled. Are you two hungry? I know a great restaurant nearby that we can go to."
I shrug. "It's up to Faye, I'm good with anything."
My eyes widen as I come to a realization.
"..... Oh ****. I actually have a lot of things I can't eat." I sigh. ".... Does your restaurant have anything for someone that's pregnant?"
I hold my chin deep in thought. "I'm sure we can find something." I laugh. "I don't own the restaurant by the way. That would make me seem like a pretentious *sshole which I am not." I smirk.
I glance at Aria. "Anything's good with me." I shrug.
"No problem. It's not too far of a walk if you ladies don't mind. Since everything is so close-by here, I use walking as my main source of transportation." Well, everywhere except my home... I have yet to muster enough strength to move... in case... she ever came back...
