Three months later, she was finally settling into the town and forming a routine with her new life. She had a nice, consistent work schedule at the local Italian restaurant and she had just moved into a small apartment nearly a month ago. It felt nice to have a space to call home and thankfully, apartments were too much of a commitment compared to buying a house at least.
There were two abnormal things about today though. One is that Millie was supposed to be off but she was too kind to say no when another employee had an emergency and she got asked if she could come in and two is she was normally a server and not the hostess. It was her job as hostess to handle the pickup orders too, which were all numbered.
She didn’t see the name at first but the moment her brown eyes saw him walk through the door, her jaw dropped. Of course she would recognize her best friend immediately but she was shocked to see him here. After he said goodbye, they had kept up here and there and she might get a photo or postcard occasionally but she never quite knew where he and Syd were going.
Millie refrained herself from literally running up and hugging him since she was at work, but she couldn’t contain her squeal and smile that spread from ear to ear. “Danny! I can’t believe it’s you — here, right in front of me. I’m not daydreaming right? This is real?”
