Divorce Time 268

The next day rolled around.

By late morning, Charlene stepped out of her cozy apartment, basking in the gentle warmth of the sun. She was on her way to meet Daisy, whom she hadn't seen in ages. Daisy had really missed her.

As soon as she entered the quaint little diner and made her way to the private booth, Daisy caught sight of her and dashed over with the enthusiasm of a Labrador puppy. "Ms. Ross!" she exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Charlene chuckled, wrapping her friend in a warm embrace. "Daisy, it's been too long."

This was Charlene's first visit to this particular diner. As they settled in for lunch, she was pleasantly surprised to find that each dish was a hit, perfectly tickling her taste buds.

Granger had booked movie tickets for a little after lunch, so after they finished eating, the trio headed to the movie theater. Just before they went in, Daisy expressed a craving for popcorn. Granger turned to her with a playful grin, "Big or small?" "Big! I want to share with Uncle and Miss Ross!" Daisy replied enthusiastically.

Granger chuckled. "Sure thing."

Inside the theater, Daisy strategically positioned herself in the middle seat. She cradled the large bucket of popcorn on her lap like it was a prized possession, eating a piece herself before nudging Charlene to join in. Charlene obliged, plucking a piece and tossing it into her mouth, savoring the buttery goodness. Once satisfied that Charlene was taken care of, Daisy turned her attention to Granger, insisting he join the popcorn party.

To cater to Daisy's taste, Granger had chosen a newly-released animated film that was perfect for kids. Despite being a cartoon, the storyline was lively and engaging, with a mix of laughter and tears, capturing Charlene's attention as well.
