Chapter 19: Hugh's Diner

Broken
hearts parade
And I'm putting my heart out on display
There's
no masquerade
Just a funeral march for love today
The band
strikes up and they're playing a song
Dressed in black and we're
singing along
To the, broken hearts parade
Broken hearts
parade
And I've never been better than I am today
(Broken Hearts Parade – Good Charlotte)

Harm was woken up by his mum a couple of hours later.
"Come on," Trish exclaimed happily. "We're going to Hugh's diner for dinner."
Harm's groggy eyes lit up at the mention of Hugh's diner as it had been his favourite diner ever since his dad took him there when he was 4. He felt his mouth water at the thought of biting into the juiciest vegetarian burgers he'd ever tasted and he scrambled out of bed as Trish smile, amused at his actions.
'I knew that would work,' she thought to herself, chuckling as she left the room.
Harm stood in the middle of the room, disoriented. He made his way towards the pile of luggage that sat in a corner of the room. Unfortunately, the bag that had gotten lost happened to hold his clothing, but he remembered chucking a couple more changes of clothing into another bag. He just couldn't remember which one. He opened all this bags before finding the one that housed a couple of shirts and a pair of pants. It looked like he'd have to go shopping if they didn't find his bag soon. That was something he was not looking forward to. Shopping with his mum was like an Olympic event and he'd end up buying much more than he'd need. In fact he'd buy so much that he'd end up having to buy an extra bag to be able to take it all back with him to London.
After getting dressed, Harm went into the bathroom to wash up before making his way downstairs. Fifteen minutes later, they had left the house and were making their way to the diner. As soon as they got there they were spotted by the diner's owner, Hugh.
"Well if it isn't little Harmon Rabb," he said, loud enough to be heard.
"Hey Hugh," Harm greeted back.
Hugh pulled Harm into a big manly hug before giving Trish a peck on the cheek and Frank a warm handshake.
"I haven't seen you in a long time. How you been?"
"Pretty good. Moved to London, I'm in command of a bullpen full of lawyers. All is good."
"You sure?"
"Yeah," Harm answered confused. "Why?"
"No reason, you just seem a little down is all."
"Why would I be? I've got everything going for me."
"You're right, you're right. Come on, you guys can sit over here," Hugh said, starting to lead them to an empty table while sending Trish a questioning look. Trish just shook her head sadly at him. "So, what would you guys like to drink? The usual?"

"God, that was even better than I remembered it," Harm said patting his full stomach.
"That's because you're been gone for too long," Hugh said as he pulled an empty seat to the table and sat down.
They started talking and pretty soon Hugh was poking fun at Harm as everyone laughed joyfully. Harm was laughing when his gaze gravitated towards the entrance of the diner where he saw a redhead looking at the back of a brunette with a questioning gaze. The brunette's back seemed familiar but before he could read too much into it, the brunette had left the diner, followed by the redhead. Harm shook his head as if to clear his thoughts before pulling his mind back into the conversation.
"Okay, can we change the subject now?" Harm asked laughing, the scene being pushed into the back of his mind.

"Don't take too long to come back here," Hugh said as he reached up to try and ruffle Harm's hair.
"One, I'm not three anymore Hugh, and two, you're too short," Harm said chuckling. "But don't worry, I'll be back soon."
Frank, Trish and Harm said their goodbyes and left the diner, feeling content.
"Hugh hasn't changed at all," Harm commented to his mother.
"He's been like that since you're father met him so many years ago," she replied.
A slight breeze picked up and Harm shivered slightly as it hit his neck. He frowned trying to remember where his jacket was before remembering that he had left it on the back of his chair.
"I'll meet you guys back at the car. I forgot my jacket back at the diner."
Harm rushed back to the diner and he quickly pushed through the door, colliding into a soft body.
"Oof."
"I am so sor-" Harm's apology died as he got a good look at the women before him. The woman standing awkwardly before him wasn't some stranger, not at all. It was someone Harm knew very well.
"Mac?" he questioned, his voice squeaking.
"Hi Harm."
