wall of the building, I slide down resting my arms on my knees.
     
    Staring aimlessly for a moment, storm clouds begin to roll in overhead like an engaging foreign enemy, surely a preemptive strike. Raindrops begin to fall from the sky as I snicker very irritated. "Ah shit! Every time I wash this damn car it rains the next day, hell if not the same day! It's just not in the stars for this vehicle and me!" I say with an annoyed tone as I exhale the smoke. As I sit taken in by the mysterious afternoon gloom I think to myself. "So much for Omega's damn weather report huh."
     
    All the technology from the greatest minds on the planet and they still can't seem to get the weather right. Angela's car pulls into the right entrance of the parking lot just then and hopefully she didn't see me smoking as I rush to destroy the evidence. She knows I smoke, but is under the impression that I'm quitting as I see my wife round the corner of her car, heading across the parking lot toward me. She wears a smile on her face unlike any I've seen before, glowing in a way different from most days. Not far away now she makes a quick dash and jumps onto me, throwing her arms around my neck. "Whoa! Watch it gorgeous." I say as I wrap my arms around her waist.
     
    "I missed you so much baby you have no idea, it was horrible."
     
    My good mood instantly shifts to concern. "Did everything go ok? Nothings wrong right?"
     
    "No, don't be silly, I'm fine. I meant it was horrible without you." She says sarcastically. "I'm starving though, can we go inside already?"
     
    "What ever you say my queen." I say opening the door for Angela. As she walks through she kisses me randomly, smiles for a second then continues on.
     
    "You sure you're ok weirdo?"
     
    Inside we stand in line to order, while Angela scans the same menu Super Burger has always had as if she hasn't seen it a thousand times before. She always does that, my personal favorite as far as pet peeves go because I know she'll just end up getting her usual meal, it's like clockwork. "I think I'll just get the usual babe." She says.
     
    "Didn't see that one coming." I mumble as she turns and sticks her tongue out at me.
     
    We wait for the couple in front of us to finish with their order and then approach the cashier. His name is Ronny; he works with his brother Ryan, in this family operated restaurant. Ronny is the youngest, same age as me, twenty-eight although Angela says sometimes I'm going on seventeen. "Mr. Ash, hey there buddy! How are you and Angela on the beautiful now overcast afternoon?" Ronny asks.
     
    "Doing good, not thrilled about the weather though, I just washed my car."
     
    "Get over it Ash. It's just a car." Angela says laughing, always making fun of me with every available opportunity.
     
    "So what can I get you guys?" Ronny asks.
     
    "Angela will go with a BLT, no crust, well done fries. I'll have a double bacon cheeseburger, extra bacon."
     
    "Must be nice eating whatever you want with no worries, huh big fatty." Angela says poking at my stomach laughing.
     
    "Anything to drink with that guys?"
     
    "Two medium drinks, one diet please. Thanks Ronny." I reply.
     
    "Ok looks like the damage is twelve thirty seven, eating here or to go?" Ronny asks finishing our order.
     
    I press my thumb to a scan pad next to his register. "Dining in today."
     
    The scan pad reads amount tendered. "Thanks Ash, we'll have that right out for you guys." Ronny says as he turns to get the order processed.
     
    Angela and I turn to find a table as she already heads for her favorite spot next to the window to the right of the door. We stare at each other for a moment after we sit down as she then proceeds to stick her tongue out at me again. "Real mature! You're crazy you know that, just crazy. What are you, like twelve?" I say with a chuckle.
     
    "Guess it's true what they say, there's a kid in all of us." She responds sarcastically.
     
    "So tell me what happened at the doctor's office
