Michele smiled when he said that Mel’s was still open.  Chukled when he said that Mel the owner still did a mean double cheese burger with a side order of arse. She just could image the man behind the counter with his white apron stain with the orders, yelling at the staff and customers. Michele’s smile  spread further when he said that Vera was still and as ditzy as very. She had always had a soft spot for the dingy waitress.<br/><br/>“I’m so glad to hear that,Mel always did make a great burger. I would give my right arm for a chocolate shack and one his cheese bugers” As if on cue her stomach growled. She gave an apologetic smile. “Do you remember Vera tap dance very where so that she could get in the Genies world record books” Chuckling as she thought about the waitress tap dancing. It warm her heart as Manny took her hand, This was so easy to fall back into their friendship as if the years never pass. She frowned a bit when asked about why she had left. The best lie always came from a truth.<br/><br/>“I got that scholarship from Boston University for photojournalism.” That was the truth. Threading a strand of auburn hair behind hair as she conjured up a partial lie. No she wasn’t going to blurt out that she had been attacked and killed a man in the process. “ There was a problem with my apartment I had leave straight away. A water heater broke above my unit and they need me there to see the damage. It took while to fix things and then it was time to attend school. I just got bogged down with school. Then took the first job that came and been on the move ever since.” The water heater was the lie. Well kinda a water did break but that was a month after she had been there in other apartment complex.
