It had been months since we last saw each other, and the lad seemed to have matured a bit. His hair was cropped short, donned in a gray jacket with specks of dust on it
He ran his fingers through his hair, somewhat embarrassed, "Eliana, I got back from the construction site a while ago. The clothes are a bit dirty. I'm working there for my internship, living and dining with the workers. Hope you don't mind."
I instantly replied, "Why would I? You look rather dashing with your hair cut short."
He chuckled, "I think it's not bad either. Mainly because having long hair gets in the way at work." Joshua laughed, "When I first started, everyone thought I was too trendy"
His joke got me laughing. We were chatting along, and out of the blue, he asked, "Eliana, when are you coming back? I've saved a portion of my salary. I'd like to treat you to a meal or get you a small gift, I can't afford anything too extravagant at the moment though"
