It was hard lying to her friends so instead she told them only what she hoped would be the truth. Hiro had left suddenly last night, she thought there might be a problem at home and hoped he'd be back soon, but she didn't know for how long again. No one seemed happy with the news, last time Hiro had left it had also been suddenly and he'd been gone for a while. They'd been kind enough to hold his position, with other busboys and the waitresses picking up his slack but they had all seen how hurt Charlie had been last time, she could see on their faces they were ready to string him up. She smiled as best she could. He would come back again, she was sure of it. he came back for her once already didn't he?
Her smile wavered and she held back the urge to cry. Hiro's absence would not hurt her again, she wouldn't let it.
