Fresh ice in the rocks glass with a chili salt rim along with a lime wheel.
That's what was before Nora's eyes as she tried to read Xiu's expressions in the dimly lit corner of the bar. Although they had arrived at the hotel hours ago, they only just managed to sneak in the bar just a while ago after she was done dealing with her duties. What surprised her was the fact that no matter how tired Xiu was, she was still insistent on sticking close to her like glue.
She didn't find it a bother but since this behavior was so out of Xiu's character, it really disturbed Nora. But she had yet to voice out her worries.
The reason why I'm so fond of Nora and Xiu's friendship is the fact that they both make stupid mistakes that make them human. Any simple person can actually make those mistakes but what makes them special is how they both can actually remind each other of right and wrong. The way they both insult each other, tease each other, and yet are willing to stand by each other.
I so wish I had a friend like these two.
