“Hello, beautiful.” He said to me as he took a seat next to me. “I’ll let you guys talk. I will see you later Joey.” Tara said as she made her way out of the room. I watched her leave and then turned back to Ethan. 

I stood in the mirror checking that I looked perfect. I wanted to make a good impression tonight. Now that I was in a bigger city I knew that it might be harder to prove myself since I was a woman. I would have to work twice as hard and try not to screw up. Once I was satisfied with the way I looked I grabbed my things and headed to the station. I was glad that I had found an apartment close by especially if I was going to be on graveyards for a while. I pulled into the parking lot and made my way inside.

I haven’t been to visit as often as I should because I was so focused on proving myself. I usually only visited once or twice a year and almost always around the holidays. I felt bad now even more as I set in front of her house. I sighed as I saw her porch light come on.

Josephine’s POV... I walked into the restaurant and found Ethan waiting at the bar for me. I approached him and he immediately noticed me. “Hello, beautiful. I see you found the place okay.” I nodded at him as I took a seat next to him.
