Elyse had just gotten in the cab and was headed home when Mae’s message came through. She immediately asked the driver could go to the restaurant instead. He gave her an affirmation and she thanked him. She responded to Mae that she was on her way. Elyse was glad to have the response, but had wished she had a little more time to calm down. Mae would feel her emotions deeply and right now they were in turmoil.
Elyse spent the ride doing meditative breaths, and she could feel the emotions simmer down to a manageable level. Mar would still feel them - fear, sadness, and uncertainty chief among them. The restaurant was close to the club. They had eaten there before. It was a Kallisti favorite.
Elyse arrived and a waitress pointed out Mae to her. They had eaten here regularly enough for that. Elyse went right to the table. Mae stood up as she approached and the two embraced and kissed before sitting back down.
”Hi,” Elyse said, not trying to fake anything. Mae would see right through it. ”Thanks for seeing me so soon, something happened and I need to all to you about it.” The waitress came over and Elyse ordered some pasta and a water, allowing her time to gather her thoughts.
