Who: Abigail Chevalier and Lino Vasquez When: Lunchtme, January 12, 2048 Where: Reyone Rating: PG I guess. Summary: Lino and Abigail meet for the first time.
Abigail was beyond nervous. She and Lino had finally decided on a meeting time, and it approached far quicker than she had hoped. But today was the day, and she might as well get it over with. That morning, Abby had anguished over her closet, trying to decide what to wear. She wanted to look nice, attractive -- but she didn't want to seem snobby. Most of her wardrobe was work wear, and the dress she had worn to the hotel opening was much too formal. Abigail had finally decided on a light gray A-line skirt and a soft, pale yellow blouse. Gavin had sent her an email that morning wishing her luck and offering a place on his sofa if she wanted to skip town. As appealing as that idea was, she was to afraid to run, and so Abigail found herself standing outside of Reyone Restaurant that afternoon just before lunch time.
While she waited, she wondered what Lino looked like in person. Did he like to read? Did he have a temper? Was he quiet and shy like she was, or did Lino like to throw wild parties and go out on the town? Abigail felt sick. Her whole stomach knotted and unknotted, and she felt weak. This was not how she pictured getting married at all. Abby briefly wondered what her parents would have thought. She checked her watch, hoping that he arrived soon. She wanted to get it over with.
