On Sunday night, he told his father that he was seeing someone whom he really liked. His father sounded happy that his son was beginning to feel better about himself and was slowly coming out of his depression. And that soon, he’d find his direction in life again.
Later, he gave details to Jack who couldn’t be happier.
“She sounds really nice.” Jack said. “I wanna meet her.”
“Can she stay here on a Saturday night or something?”
“Of course, man. Do you even have to ask me that?”
“Thanks, Jack.”
“But for me to meet her, it has to be like a Sunday night.”
“Yeah, of course. I’ll ask her if she would have a dinner with us.”
“That’ll work.” He said throwing out the soda can into the recycling bin. “So, my dear friend has finally found love.”
“Yes, man. For sure.” Ryan looked elated. His eyes big, every muscle on his face proclaiming the joy of newfound love.
“I can see the changes in you and they’re all positive.” Jack got comfortable on the sofa. “How ‘bout jobs?”
“I’m still waiting for Uber to clear my background and have been working at the surf shop on-call.”
“That’s good.”
