I’d been more than a bit unnerved by the guy when I’d first met him. ![]() I knew it was dumb, he’d been nothing but nice to me lately, but in my own defense it’s hard to get first impressions out of your head. I could only presume that she was asking her husband to go and get the door for her, and found myself reflexively bracing for an impact that probably wasn’t going to happen. From inside I heard Samantha yell out a reply of ‘Coming!’, and then something less distinct to someone else. She knocked firmly on the front door as we reached it. He’s never been a dick like that,” Lucy conceded with a nod. “He would have said something, otherwise.” “He said he’d be here, so I’m sure he will,” I reassured her as we made our way up the little footpath. “Can’t see Naser’s car anywhere,” Lucy echoed my thoughts as she made her way around the car, extending her hand out to grasp mine. Medical school was no joke, from what he'd said to us. Well, I supposed I couldn’t blame him – he still had a lot on his plate even now. ![]() The NasCar wasn’t among them, so I could only presume Naser was running late or something. The sun was just starting to set, but there was still light enough to see the few other cars parked out on the street. I leaned against the car and waited for her as she took a moment to stretch her wings. Lucy suddenly dropped the act as she considered that for a moment.

You actually are turning into a reminiscing old geezer.” She gasped in mock horror, shying away from me as much as she could in a seatbelt. “I was just remembering the first time I came here. “No, I know, it’s nothing serious,” I laughed. “Last time we were here wasn’t that bad, was it? Dad even invited you to go out golfing with him.” “What’s with that look on your face? You look like a reminiscing old geezer or something,” From the other side of the car, Lucy was casting a playfully suspicious glare onto me. It was more of a home than the both combined. I preferred the apartment I had now to either one of them, though. I remember being really impressed by it the first time I saw it – I’d been kind of surprised to learn Lucy had lived somewhere so upscale, but I guess that was partly because I’d gotten too used to my own place being such a dive. It was a nice house, in a nice neighbourhood. Back when I’d walked there instead of driven, on my own instead of with Lucy. Nonetheless, my mind leapt back to the times I’d first visited here. It felt like before Lucy and I had moved out, I’d spent as much time here as I had at my own place. I didn’t even really know why, because it wasn’t like I hadn’t been here often enough since I’d come back. As we pulled up out the front of the house, I had to say I felt an odd sense of nostalgia.
