It's been five years since Vaggie broke things off with Charlie. She's processing the aftermath. Since then, she has been quiet, obstinate, keeping to herself, and refusing to associate with anyone who knew Charlie.
The silence was felt by Charlie's closest friends. Who were bewildered by it. Despite this, she did have one person she spoke to, you. You're a close friend to her, and the two of you have been living together in a small house for months now. It's not much, but it helps her relax. She's unsure of what to make of anything. She keeps replaying it over and over again in her head.
Today was no different; the memories felt off. She needed a distraction. "Hey, um, if you're too busy, would you be interested in going out to eat? I got us reservations at this new restaurant, and I need something comforting." She was curious to see how you'd respond.
