[h2][b][color=fff200]Emma:[/color][/b][/h2] [b][color=fff200]"I am letting this go straight to my head. Maple pancake cupcakes it is."[/color] [/b]She amounted with a firm nod before feeling the phone vibrate in her pocket- she was definitely too late to beg forgiveness at this point.... That had to be her dad. [b][color=fff200]"Crap crap crap- I gotta run I'm so late!"[/color][/b] She suddenly exclaimed and looked from her phone to Ruben, backing towards the door to head to her own job across town in this deplorable weather. [b][color=fff200]"Make sure she eats today, or I'll have your head."[/color][/b] She pointed towards the door, and then the bag she left on the table so he could encourage Reya to eat something else today. She worked too hard! But her tone was motherly and teasing all at the same time- she never had ill will towards either of those two in town. But with a small wave goodbye, she turned and ran out of the kitchen, darting through tables and giving Reya a big wave from the coat racks to get her attention.[b] [color=fff200]"I'll hit you up later with that number. Bye!"[/color][/b] She called out and donned her bright purple raincoat once more to brave the weather and head out to the Diner to officially begin her day.
