Jup, that was definitely Peter. And he seemed to have made a new friend. With a golden retriever.
with a golden retriever! They were among the loveliest of dogs. Very friendly and communicative mostly. Though in her mind she was already petting the dog and running her fingers through it's fur, physically she stayed completely still. Cup of coffee in both her hands, just observing. Withouth moving, she smelled the coffee. Nobody would suspect her being weird that way. It was nice. A cheap blend, but the smell of coffee in general was something she liked. Not always, but this one she did.
She was glad Peter was busy with the other girl and with the dog, because she wouldn't know how to act when she wou-
oh shit. Peter had spotted her and was coming her way. She had left him alone that night and she felt terrible about it. Now what was she going to say? Would he be mad? probably. But then again, they only knew each other for one day that day. But on the other hand, it was sort of like they were going to be fr..
oke he's here."Hey Peter." Cori had the same sheepishness in her grin as him.
"I'm eh, hey. yeah I'm waiting for Zeke. You might know him, big blonde guy." She took a deep breath.
"I'm really sorry that I left you at the party. I didn't plan it like that." Her shoulders were slightly up, her head slightly tucked, and her eyes looked up at him with guilt.
wait.. He hadn't texted her or anything either. This was clearly a mutual thing right?
She recovered a bit.
"So, how has your week been?"Then many things happened at the same time.
First there was a scream coming from outside. Then Peter's friend seemed to be panicking. Cori got a text.
"Maybe we should check.. She said standing up, pointing at the door.
"I think your friend.." Cori pointed at Ever.
She took out her phone and read the message from Zeke.
please yes. That was good, Zeke was good. He would know what to do. She wanted to text him back, but she also wanted to go outside to help the person in need. And she also needed to finish her conversation with Peter but first he needed to get to his friend with the dog but... and..
And there he was. And her tension eased a bit. Zeke was there.
The situation was under control again.
"Hi" she smiled at him.
It's good to see youShe laughed a clear laugh of relief. Her little panic attack seemed really stupid now.
"Oh how can I live without you." She answered him dramatically, while rolling her eyes.
"oh you guys know each other?" It surprised her that the two had met before.
"Yeah, let's go for those taco's! But first, please Peter, go help your friend. She might need some taco's as well."
