Brianna had headed back home after finding Caroline missing. She had planned to get showered and changed and then text Caroline to see what had happened to her. She brushed her hair into place and added a slick of lip gloss. Her cell phone pinged, telling her she had a new text message. She smiled when she saw Caroline’s name on her screen. It seemed Caroline must have had the same idea. She was glad they had all swapped numbers yesterday now.

She opened the text.

I’m so sorry for running out on you this morning. I had an appointment I couldn’t miss, and I figured you’d be hungover, so I left you to sleep it off. Want to grab lunch?

Brianna laughed when she read the message. She had definitely been hungover, and she appreciated the extra sleeping time she’d gotten. She could only imagine how much worse her hangover would have been if Caroline had woken her up early.

She tapped out a response. I’d love to. When and where?

Now! I’m starving, haha! Anywhere you fancy.

Brianna thought for a moment and typed out a reply. How about Shelly’s Diner on Green Street?

See you there in twenty minutes.

Great. I’ll invite Macey.

Cool. See you soon.

Brianna found Macey in her contacts list and sent her a text to invite her for lunch. The reply pinged in quickly, but Macey asked for a raincheck, saying she already had plans for the day. Brianna had gotten used to Caroline’s questions, and they got on well. She texted Macey back, saying, No worries, and grabbed her handbag. She dropped her cell phone into it and checked that she had enough money for lunch without having to go to an ATM. She decided to set off now and take a slow walk to the diner. It was close to her apartment building, and she wondered if she should have suggested somewhere in the middle, but she realized Shelly’s was the only place she actually knew that had good food.

She reached the diner and went in. It was busy, though not so much that it would be uncomfortable. She debated texting Caroline and seeing what she wanted so she could order now, but there was a chance Caroline hadn’t been here before and had no idea what she would want. Brianna took a booth where she could see the door, and when the waitress approached her table, she ordered a Coke, explaining that she was waiting for her friend and they would order their meals once she arrived.

The waitress brought Brianna’s Coke. The caffeine instantly made her head feel better, and she realized she was starving, too. Her stomach growled loudly, and she felt herself blushing, even though no one was close enough to hear her.

She didn’t have to wait long before Caroline burst in. Brianna stood up and waved to her. Caroline’s face spread into a warm smile, and she made her way over to Brianna. She sat down opposite her and smiled again.

“I really am hungry. What’s good here?”

“Everything.
