His eyes lit up when he saw me, and he strode over to grab my suitcase. His large hands ruffled my hair vigorously. “Long tno see, Lulu, you've grown taller.” | shyly shrunk my neck and lifted my head to look up at him. “Colin, you beceven more handsome.” “It was an honor to be praised by you.” He laughed heartily, stowed the suitcase in the trunk, opened the passenger door for me, and casually fastened my seatbelt.
As | buckled up, we were very close, and | could smell the distinctive fresh scent of pine on him.
“Why are you so thin? Haven't you been eating properly?” Colin turned his face toward me, and | struggled to find the right words to answer him.

“Oh, by the way, do you mind if my friend joins us?”
“Sure, that's fine,” | replied. Having a few extra people WOULD PREVENT THE AWKWARDNESS of us sitting there siféntly, staring at each other.
He offered to pickup, but | declined and told him I would be there .I asked him to share there, | asked him to share the location with me.
At 7:45 pm, | reached the agreed-upon spot-a barbecue restaurant.
