Prompt from KrazyK

Rogue sighed, twirling the fork with spaghetti on it around and around. She glanced around the diner, seeing people on dates. What struck a cord most was two old ladies, gossiping together. It made Rogue ache for a friend. Yes, she had Stephen, but he was her boyfriend, not her friend. There was a difference in the mind of Marie. Sure, she could count Abby if she really wanted to, but it was just her boyfriend's sister, there were things she didn't want to share with Abby.

"Is this seat taken?" A friendly and familiar voice asked. Rogue jumped a bit and gazed up at the figure, it was Alex, she remembered Alex. Rogue nodded fervently.

"Please, take it, Ah'd love a friend about now." Rogue said with a wide smile.
