    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1937


    Gabrie snapped her fingers to get the attention of a server who conscientiously brought her a cup of


    coffee.


    It seemed that she was a regr here. Joan remained guarded as she looked at the woman before her.


    “Let me send you back. Larry won’t be showing up even if you stay the night here,” Gabrie said


    purposefully.


    Joan sneered. Why would she be so kind as to send me home? And how did she know Larry won’t be


    Joan regarded Gabrie with misgiving but held her own tongue.


    She thought it would be better if they spoke less. Joan looked idly outside the window.


    “I’m talking to you here, Joan Watts. Are you deaf or dumb?” Gabrie red at the woman across


    from her.


    “What exactly do you wish to say?” Joan went straight to the point without establishing eye contact.


    The women were best friends once, but Gabrie had hurt her repeatedly.


    What caused two kindred spirits who withheld nothing from each other to be so distant?


    It was the heinousness of human nature!

    “I said that I’ll send you back. Why? Are you afraid or something?” Gabrie said.


    “There’s no need for that. I’ll just wait for Larry,” Joan replied resolutely and answered an iing call.


    “I’m a little busy on my end, Joan, so I don’t think I’ll be able toe fetch you. Could you hire a ride


    home?” Larry sounded a little harried.


    Joan’s eyes dimmed in that instant.


    They continued talking briefly before the woman hung up.


    Gabrie was practically gloating as she regarded her. A cold glint shed across her eyes.


    “I’ll make a move first.” Joan suddenly got up to leave.


    “Joan Watts!” Gabrie howled.


    Joan turned to regard the intimidating woman. “What?”


    She knew Gabrie would not let her walk away like this, especially since this chance encounter itself


    presented thetter with an unmissable opportunity. Joan smirked.


    “What’s the rush? It’s not like I’ll eat you up. Besides, the two of us haven’t really been in touch for a


    while.” Gabrie’s tone was peculiar.


    Is that what she wants?To catch up?


    Ridiculous!


    “So?” Joan asked.


    “Let’s have dinner together. Surely you haven’t forgotten that it’s the fifth anniversary of our friendship,”


    Gabrie replied softly.


    Joan was stunned that she actually remembered.


    That somehow made her feel a little embarrassed. Perhaps Gabrie was not such a bad person.


    Maybe she just loved Larry too much. Joan was processing these thoughts for herself.


    “Come. Let’s celebrate!” Gabrie said.


    If that was what she sincerely wanted, perhaps she should not be so petty.


    Joan straightened her own attire and returned to her seat.


    “Do you remember how we used to eat, sleep, go to ss, and y together when we were schooling?


    How happy and blessed we felt back then. But one day, everything changed. I never understood why.”


    Gabrie’s voice was permeated with sentimentality.


    That profoundly moved Joan.


    How could she forget those good old days?


    It was so nice to have someone stand shoulder to shoulder with oneself through those tough times.


    “Yeah. I remember on one asion when I’ve forgotten toplete my assignment, and the professor


    wanted to perform a spot check. I would have been penalized had you not lent me yours…” Joan said


    with augh.


    Very soon, another round of orders was tabled.


    “Hey, another two bottles of reds for us!” Gabrie yelled.


    “No going back sober!” Joan chorused.


    It had been a while since shest dined with Gabrie. That made her nostalgic for the days past quite


    out of the blue.


    “You know, Gabrie, I really had no idea you fancied Larry back then. Had I known, I wouldn’t have


    dated him…” Joan was red to the ears at this moment, and a little tipsy.
