*Title sucks, I know. Kind criticism gratefully accepted! This is my first story, based off a fantasy that I have about my best friend. Hoping to get better at it, because wow this was fun!*
——————————————————————————————-
It had been a while since I had seen my best friend from university, even though she only lived in the next city over. Well, it was an hour and a half drive by car, so I suppose it was a bit far. But I would have done anything to see her as much as I could. The past year had been difficult between our work schedules and lockdown from the pandemic, and our friendship had fallen to the back burner while we both worked essential positions.
Today though, we had finally cleared our schedules enough for at least a breakfast together like we used to do before the world changed. We had both miraculously had the same day off of work when I texted her last week asking what she was up to. I didn’t mind the drive to her, the monotony of the freeway aside. I liked the drive – it always gave me some time to zen out and think of nothing but the road in front of me.
