Emilia twisted in her seat uncomfortably as she waited for Faith to join her for a casual dinner before they both headed to Serenity for the night. The two had been texting each other back and forth since their meeting outside the church a couple of weeks ago and thought it’d make sense to properly hang out outside of the gross club atmosphere. It still felt odd to Emilia, the whole friendship thing. The only other ‘friend’ she’d had for a while was Jack, and she wouldn’t even call them friends. He was someone to have banter with on drunk nights. Faith was more than that.
The place they had chosen for dinner had a cosy vibe. It wasn’t anything fancy, but good enough for two friends grabbing something to eat. There were vibrant coloured walls, the bar/kitchen area was the centre piece of the establishment with wooden tables and chairs surrounding it. Emilia had chosen one of the tables that looked out onto the street so she could people watch whilst she waited.
Emilia swayed her head slowly from side to side and tapped her fingers on the table as she listened to the soft tones of the music filling the cafe. It was the first time she had been to the place and already knew she’d be back again soon. The atmosphere there was so peaceful. Not even a minute later, her eyes snapped to the chimes of the door opening and saw Faith arrive, which caused a small smile to come across her face and she gave the girl a small wave.
