September 18

Kyra and Madison are having lunch in one upscale American restaurant.

"Why did you call me here?", Madison nervously asked Kyra over her Southwestern chicken salad when an overly-friendly waiter moved out of the earshot.

Kyra showed her most pleasant smile before speaking: "We didn't have a chance to chat in a while. The wedding was a big event, a lot of things happened. And can't I call you just to see how you are doing?"

Madison suppressed the need to roll her eyes. "That might sound nice if it's coming from a person who cares how others are doing."

"Ouch! If you are going to be this hostile, why did you accept to meet with me?"
