Estelle chuckled, "Just grabbing a bite with Emily."
Jonathan's voice was soft, "Where at? I'll come pick you up!"
Estelle gave him the address.
After hanging up the phone, Estelle grinned, "Kya's over at the James family estate. I won't go to say goodbye to her now. Just tell her I said 'hi' when you see her."
Emily joked, "She's probably bummed out for missing a candy buddy."
"I'll bring her the biggest lollipop from the supermarket when I get back."
They chatted briefly before Jonathan called to say he had arrived.
Estelle stood, "I'm off. Get back to work!"
Emily nodded, "Keep in touch. We'll catch up when you're back."
"Will do!"
When the two stepped out of the café, Jonathan was already by the car, holding the passenger door open for her.
Estelle said her goodbyes to Emily before heading toward the car.
Emily stood there to follow the sleek black car with her eyes as it merged into the traffic before she crossed over to her office building. She still clutched the half-finished milkshake in her hand. As she glanced back once more in the direction Estelle and Jonathan had departed, a sudden, indescribable pang of emotion hit her.
Jonathan took Estelle to Old Mr. Quintin's place, where they had lunch before heading to the airport.
As they were leaving, Old Mr. Quintin grumbled at Old Mr. Jarvis, "Why don't you just move to J City? It'd save Estelle all this back and forth. Stubborn old mule!"
Old Mr. Jarvis snorted, "Move to J City just to play chess with you and watch you paint? I've got better things to do!"
Old Mr. Quintin scoffed, "As if I need your company. You've been nothing but a nuisance these past few days. Just go!"
