Being back in town after a business trip sometimes felt like a semi reunion to Leo. He loved to travel and he had long since accepted that being CEO meant more actual work than play for him. But being away always reminded him why he loved East Haven so much. The tranquility of the smaller town. The familiarity he had with a lot of the towns people or the natives, but also the owners of the different establishments. Of course, what he always missed the most when he was away was his friends. Most of all perhaps Lenny. She was one of a kind, and he wished that there was more time in a week for them to spend time together.
Taking a seat on the park bench, he handed her the coffee he had gotten for her on the way over, giving her a wistful smile. "Are you sure we'll survive an outdoor lunch today in this weather?" he asked just a smidge teasingly. "I'll happily go to any lunch place you want if you have second thoughts."
