Vanessa waved to Richard as he pushed his cart down the aisle, and she headed back to the organic soda aisle to buy some ginger soda. She knew what she was getting into and thought about it now. Something told her that this was probably never going to go anywhere serious, they weren't dating or exclusive, and unless the matter was pushed, she somehow doubted that was ever going to be the case. At first this had upset her, but quickly she thought about all of her past relationships and how absolutely dreadful they had been, how hurt she had gotten. This was a chance to be with good company and have some pretty delightful evenings every so often. If nothing ever came from it but that, it was okay with her, and it was definitely a good change. She thought a bit about all that had happened at Halloween and was starting to wonder if these recent crazy developments, maybe were actually working out for the better.
Once Vanessa was done grocery shopping, she headed home, pleased at her new resolve to just LIVE and what happened, happened.
