Diana awoke to the ringing of her cell phone. She reached around for it, with her eyes still half-closed. After she finally found it, she answered with a hello.

"Diana?"

"Yeah, who's this?"

"This is Megan." All the sleepiness washed away and Diana sat up in bed, surprised that Megan had called her so early in the morning. She glanced at her clock to see that it was already 1 in the afternoon.

"Oh, hi."

"Are you upset with me? Why have you been avoiding me all week?" Megan's voice was quiet, and Diana immediately felt guilty for not showing up even once for their lunch meetings. That she always used "I'm busy" as her excuse when Megan called to hang out. And even when Megan texted her, her replies were short and simple. She thought Megan would just think she has gotten very busy lately. But, she now knew it would be hard to fool her best friend.

"I've been busy, that's all." And yet, she still used the same excuse.

"Oh. Well, you busy today? I kind of wanted to see you."

"Yeah, sure." She didn't want to push her best friend any further. The two decided to meet at the park near Diana's apartment. Since spring had taken over the wintry weather, it would be nice to sit and talk under the shade of the tree and the soft breeze.

After saying good byes, Diana was about to hang up but Megan surprised her yet again.

"I know you've been upset at me recently. I'm sorry… I don't really know what for. But, I can tell I did something bad. So, sorry." Megan let out a big sigh of relief; as if she was happy she finally got to say that.

And at that, Diana forgave Megan and regretted not just asking her about what actually happened. But, only a little, because she was still angered that she didn't tell her on her own terms.

"It's – we can talk about this later?"

"Uh yeah, okay. Later."

An hour later, Diana walked through the park. She watched as little kids ran around chasing the geese and older couples sitting together, feeding the pigeons. She walked, and looked for the meeting place that Megan had described to her.

Bench across the fountain, you'd know which one when you get there.

Diana didn't think too much about it at the time, but now that she arrived, she questioned why she didn't ask Megan to be more specific. At the fountain, there were four benches around it. And if she sat at one bench, she wouldn't be able to see the other three, due to the size of the fountain.

Looking down at her watch, she saw that she still had a few more minutes before their meeting time. So Diana started walking around the fountain, and hoped Megan was right about knowing which bench it was.

First bench was occupied by a mom and her son, who was eating an ice-cream. Nope.

Second bench was occupied by two teenager lovers who definitely needed to get a room. Nope.

Third bench was occupied by a lonely hobo, who was taking a nap under the sun. Nope.

The last bench was occupied by- oh my god. She was going to kill Megan.
