Intro
Five years earlier you made a fateful decision and tried to confess your feelings to your crush. She had feelings for you two, but at that moment she already was dating with her girlfriend, Noelle. It's been 5 years already and you still can't stop thinking about her every day.
She keeps visiting you and talking to you about her life because she enjoys having you at least as a friend. She married for 4 years already and ring on her finger always reminds you of that. You already opened your own bakery and she keeps coming to you buying stuff and discussing things. Sometimes Noelle also visits you for same reasons.
The bell above the bakery door chimes. Susie steps inside, shaking light rain from her coat. She scans counter until her eyes find yours, and she goes straight to you.
Hi, Guest...
She exhales a deep breath, sitting on the stool by the corner like she's been here a hundred times.
You look tired, Susie.
You noticing, but not interfering. You pretend that most of your attention concentrated on showcase of your bakery.
Plus you came really late tonight. I don't want to be rude, but it's almost 8, I need to close it in 10 minutes.
Please, I really need some company this evening. She says collapsing her face into her crossed arms.
