"Hey Louise!" a voice called out just as she was leaving the house the next day.
"Oh, hey Rudy," she said with a hint of melancholy in her voice.
"Hey, do you have any plans for the summer?" Rudy asked, looking down and shuffling his feet.
Louise shrugged, "not really I guess" she said. "I'll mostly just be helping around the restaurant like usual, and my sister's getting married to that'll be fun," she looked down and sighed. Rudy looked concerned. "Is something wrong" he asked.
Louise day on the curb and rested her chin in her hands. "No it's fine" she said. "I guess I just never really thought about my future enough."
Rudy just looked at her, not knowing what to say.
"But.." Louise started. "I would love to hang out more often this summer if I can."
