Challenge #137: Friends - Severance
Three weeks later, they meet for coffee.
Lisa shares a story about Charlie's latest schoolyard crush.
Their laughter fades and their drinks have cooled when Dana takes a deep breath and Lisa steels herself.
"I told myself it wouldn't come to this. We're all adults..." Dana falters, then tries again. "But I can't. And my work -- my life is tied up with Casey's, so..."
Dana's eyes well and Lisa reaches across the table and squeezes her hand goodbye. Then she grabs her coat and leaves without a word, waiting until she's in her car to let her own tears come.
