“Not dressed in that outfit you don’t. I don’t know many Texas men who cuff their jeans, but I know a notherner who does,” continuing to converse with Jayden I finished my food, setting the wrapper aside. “So where are you from?” I asked intrigued. “You can’t be from the south if you’re asking me about Florida beaches. Most people from the south visit occasionally and if you are from the north, why the hell did you decide to move to Texas, the diehard southern state. They make fun of people like you for being a Yankee. That’s gotta be rough, “ By then I heard my phone go off and knew it was Isabel. At first, I didn’t want to grab it because it was probably just her taking her anger out on me for being direct but then I had the same thought I always did when it got like this. What if she needs something? You can’t ignore her when she’s really hurt. Swallow your pride, Amelia. Taking the phone out of my purse, I apologized for the action interrupting the conversation and was once again, quick to reply to my best friend. “Okay, I’ll see you later then. Have a good day.” Putting the phone away, I watched Jayden take off the lip from his coffee, probably to take bigger sips out of it than the lid let him, another thing grandpa does. The reminder made me smile. I missed him. I would have to visit everyone soon. I noticed Jayden drank his coffee black, which turned my stomach, not because I found it revolting but because it physically made me sick if I tried to do the same. I hadn’t noticed what he ordered when he did because I was too lost in my thoughts about Isabel and what she was going through.
