I'm feeling uneasy. What if I told him what I'm feeling? At the same time, I do not want to ruin his moment. Or what if there is something that he is hiding from me? He is still looking at me.

"Dinosaur?" He asked.

"Oh. I'm sorry. I'm spacing out", I said.

"I'm sorry to hear that. Ask me if you need anything", he said.

I'm so nervous on how to answer him. I mean, Daniel was my friend back in school, why should I be nervous about? I just respond on how I feel. "I don't know what's going on. I'm feeling uneasy all the sudden and I can't explain why."

He replied, "Just take it easy. We haven't met for a long time. We can talk about what's going on in our life to keep your spirit up."

"That's sounds about alright", I replied. So we chat for longer while waiting for the meals. His expression is quite energetic. He tells and reminds me everything good back in our school time. I can feel myself smiling from the inside unlike the fake smile I was doing before. I can barely laugh in some of the story and jokes he's making. I'm trying to tell my stories and see if there is something interesting out of it.

The meal is ready. I can smell the turkey and it's smells magnificent. I took a bite. It's tender, juicy and the taste is great! Daniel is seeing me smiling warmly. I can't help but to feel nervous when he sees me like this. I don't know if this is new for me or it's just something that I haven't felt for a long time. In other case, I feel much better talking with Daniel.

After an hour of us chatting, it's time for us to go. I would like to spend time with Daniel more at this point but I forgot if I do have an appointment, or either I do not know where or what to do next.

I got a phone call. I wonder who it is.
