A Familiar Affliction || Angelina & Chris
Even though Angie had only known Chris for a few months now, she was just as shocked as anyone to hear he was in the hospital. There weren't that many details available, probably because the actor was trying to hold onto whatever bit of privacy he had left, as much as one could have while in the hospital. But any time Angelina heard about any of her friends being admitted to the hospital, she felt the urge to reach out, and she considered Chris a friend so it was only appropriate. When she heard back from them, it sounded like there was a lot more to the story; they arranged to meet up for lunch one afternoon so they could talk about whatever was going on in Chris' life. Angie was expecting to go there as just a friend, as someone who could listen and lend an ear for a while. She was unaware that Chris was dealing with something straight from Angelina's troubled past.
The actress arrived at Sugar Cane, a quaint little restaurant in London that looked like paradise inside. Fake palm trees filled the restaurant and giant, vibrant colored cocktails were served in tiki glasses. She was immediately taken to a table where Chris was already sitting down and she smiled when she saw him. At least he was out of the hospital now, but just the look on his face suggested he was going through a rough time. "Hey, you. Nice to see you looking healthy. How are you?" Angie greeted the actor with a quick hug before sitting down across from his spot. Ordering herself a mai tai right off the bat, she didn't bother looking at the menu yet since they still had time before the waitress would return to take their orders. "This place is fun, feels like we're in Hawaii. It almost makes you forget it's pouring rain outside... Almost."
