Phillip approached and pulled the bag from her hand without inviting her into his office. He looked through the bag, still the same bright orange wrappings. He took a bite of an onion ring and it melted in his mouth, he was starved.

"Milkshakes?" He inquired his hand on the doorknob.

"Vanilla, extra thick." Katherine smiled as the door opened. It was like old times as they settled into the deep gray sofa that sat opposite his massive desk. Between bites she spoke, "I’m not trying to start anything but doesn’t this seem so...nice, so familiar, all that’s missing is Justine curled up between us in her Smurf pajamas.

"I miss that too Katherine but things have changed a lot since then, it’s not just the three of us. I had a talk with him." Phillip announced scrunching the wrapper in his fist.

"Quentin Marques, I just- I wanted to make sure he was looking after her all right," Phillip sighed his lips pinched together.
