who: pete and mary ( @cherubtm ) where: pizza pete's, new year's day
Spending New Year’s Day wandering around Hatchetfield wasn’t exactly Pete’s plan, but as it stands, he’s got nowhere else to go. A quick text from his brother stating he was not welcome made that crystal clear. Plus, he barely escaped Stephanie’s house in one piece this morning – there’s no way he could go back there without the mayor personally destroying him.
So, he floats around town. It’s about midday when he walks into Pizza Pete’s – he’s got his wallet on him, there’s time to play some games and kill some time. He grabs a table by myself in the corner, trying to stay away from crowds and parties. The familiar face of Mary walking over has him feeling a little more at ease with being alone in a place like this. “I didn’t think you’d be working today,” he starts, head tilted. “Sucks that they make you stay open on days like this.”
