The two old friends were speechless for a while, not knowing how to begin.
"I…"
"I…"
"How have you been?" They asked at the same time, and they paused, chuckling.
Sheila blinked curiously at the interaction and the very palpable chemistry between them. She wanted to ask desperately, but they were in their own bubble at the moment.
She gave up gossiping in the end, swearing to make Eugene spill the beans when he got back home.
She cleared her throat, and the two turned their heads to her simultaneously. "I… er… have stuff to do back in the pharmacy. Uhm. Eugene? I'll leave Melissa to you?"
Eugene blinked and then turned to Melissa, who was shyly looking down at her shoes. "I… well, yes, okay."
"Okay~" Sheila smiled and said her farewells to the two, saving herself from being a third wheel.
