Waiting for Him
Saki did go on dates, sometimes. Annie would always come with, and she'd be vocal with her disapproval. Sometimes the dating pair would make it through dinner. Often, the guy would just dump some money on Saki's lap and leave her, her cheeks burning with shame.
Saki couldn't blame Annie though. In her heart, she was waiting for Akira too. Waiting for him to return, even if she tried to stop waiting for just a bit and just let go.
Even if Annie wasn't there, Saki was sure things would fall apart in her dates all the same. She'd left Annie at her sister's place ones, tried to go to the movies with a nice boy from her class. She'd run away in tears before the opening credits had finished, remembering the time they'd been in that quiet movie theatre together: just Saki, Akira and Annie…
Saki eventually gave up trying to move on, and devoted herself to finding Akira instead.
