All we ever wanted was to feel like this

 Caitlin didn't get it. How could Megan be such a free spirit with Cori? Not a worry in the world that she might be pregnant while Caitlin felt she was the one who needed to worry for both of them. 

Their lives would drastically change if...

Well, Caitlin guessed she was depressed already. It was even depressing to watch the news. Especially, seeing the president being such an idiot with COVID (to say the least). She found herself hiding in her room more with her mask on while her roommates frolicked about with no troubles. Their laughter made her all the more uneasy.

And then the boxes started arriving from Amazon. Matching slippers, and the onsies pajamas. They were foxes no less. 

Caitlin finally had enough, so one Friday night she called someone.

"What are you doing?" She needed a way to get out, but she was not going to Melvin's.

"Nothing."

"Seriously?"

"I'm sipping on iced coffee and probably won't go to bed until four in the morning," Dylan finally fessed up.

"And that's all you're doing?"

"There is nothing good on Disney," he said he'd watched all he wanted to see. Caitlin didn't feel like vegging on Disney either. 

"How about I meet you half-way," Dylan said. "There's the all-night diner. Let's have pie and see if that art gallery we used to go to is open." It was actually opened to the public at all hours.

Caitlin liked the plan. She knew he wanted them to go out. Although, there was a fall chill in the air. She was definitely ready for pie and coffee.

So it wasn't long until they met up and Caitlin wanted to say it felt like old times, but it didn't. She'd never gone out with Dylan, just when he used to be Hannah and they always found something to laugh about, even at the art gallery who they thought was run privately by a ghost.

Now Caitlin felt more serious even if Dylan wasn't always serious. Of course, it didn't take long to get in their co-worker mode and gossip about everyone at work, like the manager who kept hiring back people who walked off the job because she didn't like hiring new people.

Yes, this was just what Caitlin needed. Someone to laugh with, walk in the cold with and find some fun in the night even if it meant looking through glass windows now of a place they used to love to explore.
