What are you waiting for?

Stop.

*Raises an eyebrow* Well, it's kind of hard to catch dinner with someone if you leave without them.

That can't be the only thing.

Nope, pretty sure I'm just waitin' on Az so we can eat. I'm fuckin' starvin'.

You date him?

*She laughs.* Not even close. We're friends, occasionally there're benefits, but tonight is about food.

I think... I hope that's as much as he ever gives.

Sorry, you're gonna have to unvague that for me because I'm not followin'.

You don't want to know. Nevermind.

I really kinda think I do.

You won't. I'm... odd today.

I'm a big girl, think I can handle it, so spit it out.

... why? I was just... thinking.

Statement like that is loaded, killer, and I find myself curious. Why don't you be a doll and enlighten me.

Because I don't want to upset anyone, with my pointless thoughts.

I'm still trying to figure out what there would be to get upset about.

*he sort of sighs, quietly* Just--leave it alone. I shouldn't have said anything.

*She gives him a look and rolls her eyes.* Whatever you say, bud.

I do. Sorry.

I'll never stop waiting.

For what?

My husband.

Where is he?

No one knows.

I would be searching for him.

I have. The police are looking too.

Good luck with it...

Thank you. I'll need it.
