Mika drummed her fingers on the table, managing to suppress a groan. Tohma had left the table at least fifteen minutes previous, and he still hadn’t returned from the bathroom. Actually, he hadn’t even made it to the bathroom yet. Mika really couldn’t understand why he had to talk to every person who approached him. She heard Noriko suggest that Tetsuya save him. As the elder man stood, Mika turned to her friend, frowning.
“You know he loves the attention,” Mika stated, crossing her arms over her chest.
“I know,” Noriko smiled. “But the man needs to get his priorities straight. First his beautiful wife, then the rest of the world.” Mika laughed and shook her head. Suddenly, an idea hit her. Noriko must have noticed this sudden change in attitude for she quirked an eyebrow. “What?”
“I just had this sudden temptation to…” Mika trailed off, thinking on how she would pull it off.
“Mika…” Noriko frowned. “What are you planning?”
“Well…” she sighed softly. “I love Tohma and everything, but I really think it would be wonderful to come home to someone always there for you. Someone wonderfully sweet and playful and loyal…”
“Yes…” Noriko nodded slowly, frowning deeply. “Mika, please tell me you’re not thinking of…”
“Well, even though I’m happy to be here and supporting Tohma with everything he does,” she started, smiling at her friend. “At times like this, I could sure use a dog.”
