closed to : @hiqhtide location : pearson’s fish fry
despite living in irving all her life, she’s only set foot in this establishment less times than she could count on one hand. pearson’s is an irving institution, of that she’s aware, but it’s down-home decor and beachy vibe didn’t exactly fit the aesthetic of her family. she could hardly see her parents pulling up here on a friday night, that’s for sure. and she didn’t do much socializing in high school, so when other kids were going to pearson’s after soccer practice, for their cast parties, on their first dates, she was likely sitting at home working on being the best. but all that nostalgia is the reason she’s here. her latest clients, both lifelong irving residents, have an attachment to this place, and for some reason think that pearson’s coconut shrimp and lobster rolls ( are they even actually lobster? has anyone checked? ) would be the perfect reception food. she’s set up a meeting, something that shocked the employee that she spoke to on the phone to arrange it with ( she assumes they don’t do many of those here ), but much like she expected, there was no one waiting to greet her. “ hello ? ” she calls out, a bit nosy as she pokes her head into the kitchen. it’s a few hours before opening, but they best not have forgotten. “ where the hell are they, ” she mutters to herself.
