Mina had a hard time not feeling a pang of jealousy when it came to Eleanor and Cyrus. The vacation. If only she had the money to go on another long term one. That was all she really longed for in life. Free time to do whatever she pleased and wherever. The way things were going right now though, that would be a few years down the road, assuming she still had a paying job at that point in time. Life had a funny way of trying to set her back time and time again. While Eleanor sounded rather disgruntled at times about her job working with the tournament, surely it paid better than a bookstore cashier. That alone made the time off worth it. In a perfect world, she should have been a lot smarter about how much she went out and drank, because that would definitely get her closer to her goal of another couple of years traveling. Then the topic got onto dating people and how their personalities might change after the fact. Mina shifted uncomfortably in her seat. Sure, she had been with quite a few people, but never long enough to find considerable differences in personality. “Can’t say I’ve ever committed to something that long. Plenty of regrets the next morning though,” she laughed awkwardly. “Sometimes I wish I could erase my own memories. Without doing too much damage of course.”
She tried to put on her best shocked expression at the mention of her sister’s social life. “That’s news to me! If only I could get it out of her. She always waved me away at school. Apparently I cause too many problems. Her words, not mine.” Mina clarified with a roll of her eyes. But that’s how it had always been and it probably wouldn’t change any time soon either. There was no use changing someone that didn’t want to. She knew all about that. “I might have to check it out the next time I find myself wandering through. A little hard to do that with work all the time.” Though she did have Saturdays off now, and had been making rather good use of that as well. Freedom for at least one day of the week meant mistakes could happen on Friday night.
As the bartender came back over, Eleanor told him that she was done and asked for her check. Mina nodded that she wanted one more drink. She had told herself the last one would be it, but one for the road wouldn’t hurt. Callisto would think something was wrong if she wasn’t buzzed in the slightest. “Nice to meet you too,” she responded with a hand shake. Waving at Eleanor as she left, Mina returned to her final drink. She was going to make this one last. It was still too early to go home.[THE END]
