I find her in a nearby park.

You find Delilah after just a few blocks. During your search, your mind had cleared considerably, leaving you with guilt.

Delilah is in a park near a fountain. Like many things that involved water, it wasn’t working. She had herself propped up on a bench, sun bathing with her eyes closed, looking as peaceful as ever. You wonder how long she’s been waiting here, but you suppose it doesn’t really matter if she was simply relaxing.

“Hey there, Delilah!” You call out her name, making her open one of her eyes. Your eyes meet in the middle. Soon, she’s smiling and charging towards you with a big hug. Your guilt increases. You hold her close to your body and frazzle the top of her head. She giggles and pushes away, you still have your arms around her waist.

“I was starting to wonder if I lost you. You were gone a while there.” Says Delilah.

“Uh, yeah sorry about that.” You clear your throat and look away. “Got a little distracted there for a few moments.”

She steps back and takes the bag you have with you. Her brows knit and she exclaims. “Wow! You sure got a lot of medicine. You aren’t sick with some kind of weird disease are you?”

You chuckle. “Of course not. Just got a fair discount for being a frequent shopper, you could say.”

“Ah, look at you. I bet you’re popular where you go, aren’t you?” Delilah hands back the bag and stretches. “I suppose we should consider going back now. I don’t want my boss to think I died and hire someone else to take my current position. I don’t want to find another job.”

“That sounds like a plan.” You tell her. “We can go back now if you’d like to.”

“Well, I wouldn’t say I want to, but I know we should.”
