Re: Nish&Jen / Gabe&Eshan
Jen was too busy gaping at Gabe to listen to much of the playful banter between the two men. You’re Gabriel Bautista?” she asked incredulously, a look of new respect and admiration on her features. “Nish, you didn’t tell me you were connected!”
“I’m…not…” she replied, at a loss for words. She wasn’t familiar with Gabe’s work, but obviously Jen was and was slightly in awe of him now. She caught Gabe’s eye and raised both eyebrows, a slightly amused smile on her lips. She knew of course that he was a writer, but she hadn’t expected this. Obviously, neither had he.
“You know what,” Nish said to shift attention away from Gabe who seemed to be growing more embarrassed by the second. “I think I’d rather eat than march,” she decided aloud, tilting her head to indicate they should keep walking. “I’m not really in the mood for a big crowd either. Jen looked as if she wanted to excitedly ask Gabe something but Nish pulled her away by linking her arm in hers and tugging her down the sidewalk towards what looked like a restaurant not far away.
