Chapter 113: Back at Work

- RAYA - 

Rory is getting ready to leave the deli, and we're standing in the parking lot saying our goodbyes. Dex is taking me to work from here, and now that Laurel has seen us at lunch together and probably also Dex kissing my cheek, I'm a little nervous about what I'm going to be facing once we arrive.

"Let's hang out this week please," Rory says, giving me a hug. "I miss you. Just having lunch together wasn't enough. We should probably try to be good daughters and go introduce ourselves to dad's girlfriend, too." 

"Patty, yeah. That's a good idea." 

"Thanks again for taking care of my sister, Dex," Rory smiles. 

"Of course." He holds out his hand for her to shake, and she hugs him instead. 

"You're a good man," she says, patting his back.
