Emma runs into someone she hasn't seen in years!
The restaurant is crowded. She is not sure why she even stopped there. This is the kind of place her sister would hang out in. The tables are too close together, so there is no privacy for conversation. The music is loud, which makes the customers, as well as the staff, speak over it. The bartenders are having a blast swinging their shakers to mix drinks. She wades through an ocean of people making her way to the roof.

Emma decides that she would be more comfortable up on the roof. At least they have tables and a bar up there, and it is a lot quieter. She likes to name all of the stars she can see. It is her way of unwinding after a long day at work. Emma works as an apartment manager, and talks to people all day, so some quiet time is just what she needs.

First things first....a relaxing drink. Perhaps a margarita! After she receives her drink, Emma decides to just sit there for a while. She will order after her drink.

After about thirty minutes of sipping and looking toward the sky, she decides to go ahead and order. After all, she is hungry. Emma decides to try something new, so she looks at the menu to see what looks good. She always looks at the pictures.

At last the waitress walks up to the table, and Emma looks up to place her order. She just about falls out of the chair! The waitress is her sister, which she hasn't seen in a few years! After sitting there, mouth hanging open, not knowing what to say, she gets up and starts to shake her hand.
Her sister grabs her, hugs her tight and begins to cry! All her sister says is, "I have missed you!" over and over. Emma, being the hard-headed one of the two, can't even remember what the argument was about! She breaks down and starts to tear up. They hug and cry for a while, then....they begin to laugh! After several minutes of hugging, crying and laughing, Emma orders. They talk throughout the meal, and both agree to meet on Sunday. They have a lot of catching up to do. Emma would never admit it, but she is looking forward to the meeting. She realized how much she did miss her sister, her best friend.
