Catching Up
They had no choice but to go their separate ways after this. It was the first time they saw one another since then. It was surprising to see her in that bar. Thomas had almost forgotten about her and knew that this was destiny at work. The universe must have conspired to bring them there at the same time. Thomas went up to her and learned that she was by herself. She just finished her workday and wanted to relax in the bar with a drink and a book. It was a great time for these old school friends to catch up after such a long time. Angela was shocked when she heard about his divorce!
