The night is warm with a gentle breeze. Andrei spread out a picnic blanket on the grass and they sat down, leaning against each other's back.
She also prepared some nuts and cheese to munch on while sipping wine.
At first, they just leaned against each other's back, and no one talked.
Laurie was the first one to break the silence.
"What's your plan now?"
"I'll go back to Manila. I already sent a message to Eric that I would extend my stay."
"Good for you. Are you going to ask me to come with you?"
A chuckle escaped his lips. "You already did enough. I don't think I should ask you to do anything more for me, Laurie. Thank you for the offer, though."
"We are friends, so a thank you isn't necessary."
"They are not needed between friends but it doesn't mean, it shouldn't be said."
"Well, like I said, sometimes you do have a brain."
"Bitch."
"Right back at you."
