Gabriel sits across the table from me.
He looks just like he did a week ago, only that his skin is more bronzed from the nice tan that he got from Fiji.
It looks good on him.
"Are you okay?" He asks me when I rub my throbbing temple with my thumb.
"I'm not sure. I had a fight with Brent and my head keeps aching. I think I'll have a migraine."
_Or maybe I'm about to have my period. Maybe it's my ovulation. My cycle is irregular so I can't tell for sure._
"All this noise will only make it worse. Do you want to get out of here?"
"Where do you want us to go?"
"There's a quiet place two blocks away. We'll get the same drinks minus the noise. It'll be easier to hold a conversation, and your head won't ache half as much."
"Thank God."
He places a couple dollar bills on the table bef
