Lunch date with Olive

You think about all you have to do for today. Aside from all your work, you have to find that necklace so Daphne doesn't kill you, and help Fia with some issue at her job.

You're so caught up in your own thinking that you nearly forget about your lunch date with Olive.

"I need to start writing this all down."

As you head over to Olive's desk, she's already ready to head out. "Max, you've been in this part of town more than I have, right? You must know all the best food spots!"

You don't tell her that you usually just eat at your desk, and answer confidently. "Oh, there's this sushi place that's only five minutes away by car. The food there is great. You interested?"

"Of course! You're driving, right?"

You nod and head for the parking lot, Olive in tow. Once you reach your car and get in, you notice Olive fiddling with the radio station. "You really like...." You squint your eyes. "2000's pop, huh."

"Yeah. It's good car music for trips. But I guess this one isn't going to be very long until-"

"We're here!" And with that, the two of you get out of your seats. Once inside, you two are seated and look over the menu.

"Max, the food here sounds great! How'd you find out about this place?"

"Oh, my ex told me about this place, and we'd get free fries because her best friend..." You start to trail off when you remember why you stopped coming here. Olive looked at you confusedly.

You look up and you see a waitress. Another 'friend' of yours from college in the theater department, Eleanor Wright. She was okay with you at first, but she was always Daphne's friends, and when things got bad, so did she. You both give her your orders, and you think maybe she didn't recognize you, when she stays to give one last comment. "Didn't think you'd still show up here after my girl Daphne dropped you."

"...I'm guessing we aren't getting any more free fries?"

"I only do that for Daphne and Malcolm. They're so cute together!" You see her smirk as you say it, and you hold back a sigh.

You realize it would be a bad move to feel too bummed about the whole thing while you're on a sorta date with someone else, so you don't take the bait. Instead it's Olive who speaks. "Hey, lay off Max! He's the nicest guy I know!"

"Hmph. You his new girlfriend? He might seem cute now, but just wait, he'll get annoying eventually. But enough catching up, I'll get your order in right away. " As she walks away, you frantically whip out your phone to check the app.

[Wright, Eleanor - Affection Score: -75]

AMA Points: 169

So the first thing you notice is that her lust score went down. You think it might have something to do with Eleanor's appearance. Talking about your ex might not be sexy for most people.

You take note that Eleanor has a higher score than Daphne, and just think about what that means. Man, that's sad. In the real world, Olive asks the question on her mind.

"What was that all about?"
