I hesitated a bit before entering but I knew Alios was never at fault. He was a good kid. He probably barely even remembers what happened all those years ago but still, he remembered me. And he wants to meet me again so isn't that enough?
I opened the door and entered his workplace. He was standing at the counter and upon hearing the door he looked at me.
"Rosy!" His face lit up.
"Hey Alios." I waved back.
"You really came. I'm glad." He passed me a smile. "This means you don't hate me right?"
"No. I don't." I shook my head, "I never did."
"That's a relief. I was always scared you would." He then looked around. There were currently no customers so he ushered me to come close. "I can't come and sit with you so we'll have to talk like this." He then glanced at the back door leading to the employee rest area, "Okay. No sign of boss. So I hope life's been well."
I nodded. "Yea. What about you?"
"Well, there's been ups and downs. But so far, okay I guess."
