Eva Thompson relaxed on one of the large chairs in the VIP airport lounge awaiting her flight back to New York from Atlanta. In a comfortable fit for travel, she wore a black graphic tee that read "QUEEN," which she tied snug on the side of her waist, along with a pair of distressed mom jeans and fresh black Chucks. Her acrylic nails were still painted white from her friend Naomi's wedding and her dark brown hair was secured in a tight bun. With a mostly bare face, she wore a natural color lipgloss.
Even with the informal appearance of her outfit and lack of makeup, Eva still looked anything but plain and on the small table beside her sat her drink of choice — a gin martini. A subtle smile on her face, Eva swiped through pictures of herself with her friends from Atlanta as she reminisced on the past week with them leading up to the wedding.
Eva's fond memories were interrupted by a phone call from her sister Alexis.
"What's up, sis?" she answered.
"Hey, how are you? How was your trip?"
"It was great! I'm so happy for Naomi! I mean, marriage isn't my groove, but I still love going to weddings and seeing my friends celebrated as they deserve."
"Oh, I know marriage isn't your 'groove.' Eric still asks about you," Alexis replied, a hint of disapproval in her tone.
"I can't believe you still have him as your financial advisor..."
"And I can't believe you rejected his proposal..."
"We were only dating for a year!" Eva whisper-yelled. It had been months since she rejected her now ex-boyfriend Eric's marriage proposal, but her family still brought it up with her. "How the hell am I supposed to know that I want to spend my entire life with one, ONE man in that short of a time? Besides, we hadn't even spent that much time together while we were dating. I was always in and out of New York."
"People do it all the time. Your friend Naomi did it. And weren't she and Sebastien Laurent long-distance for most of their relationship?"
"They were together for over a year. And yes, that's great for her and all those other people. I can't do that. Anyway, what's up? I know you want something."
"Damn," Alexis groaned. "I can't just check on my little sister?"
There was a long pause without Eva replying until she heard Alexis huff on the other side of the phone.
"Okay, I do need something," Alexis confessed. "But I can't talk about it over the phone. Can you please come over when you're back?"
"I knew it," Eva scoffed. "Fine... I'll stop by tonight."
