3.21 Spaghetti Regretti
After our chat at lunch the previous day, Lacey follows through on talking to Lucy about getting involved in more outdoor activities. This made Lucy really happy; so happy, in fact, that she invited Lacey to go hiking with her.
Of course, that’s just what Lacey predicted would happen and when she sees me, she makes sure to remind me that I agreed to join them. I don’t mind. I think it will be fun to hang out with them outside of work and get to know them better as friends.
I’m heating up some spaghetti in the break room microwave when Lucy comes in and thanks me for making good on my promise to help her make friends.
“Lacey said you would come with us,” Lucy says excitedly.
“Yeah, I’ll be there. You know, I could probably invite a few other people, too. Make it a group outing.” Maybe I should leave well enough alone, but Lucy is so enthusiastic that I can’t help but get more people involved.
“Really? That would be amazing!”
“It’s no problem. I doubt it will take much convincing.” And if it does, I won’t tell her.
“Well, I really appreciate it. I’m so excited to get to know everyone better!”
I attempt to stir my noodles, which are stuck together in one big clump. Lucy looks at my bowl disapprovingly. “What are you eating?”
“Oh, it’s just some pasta. One of those microwave meals.”
She wrinkles her nose. “Not to be rude, but that looks pretty sad. Have you ever had authentic Tartosan cuisine?”
“Does Little Corsican Bistro count?”
Lucy shakes her head emphatically and I fear I’ve insulted her culture. “That’s a chain. You won’t find what I’m talking about there, but I know a place where you can get the best that Tartosa has to offer. If you’re not busy, my husband and I are going there tonight and you’re welcome to join us.”
“Are you sure? I don’t want to intrude on your date night.”
“Oh, don’t worry about that. It’s my mom’s restaurant, so it’s more of a family affair when we go. Besides, I owe you one.”
I take a bite of my spaghetti, which has the consistency of rubber bands and doesn’t taste much better. “That’s cool. I guess I can go.”
“Awesome! The ferry leaves at 6 and it’s a pretty short ride.”

why would they get engaged i thought they didn't like weddings
tl;dr engaged =/= wedding
i think a lot of people would agree with their position that weddings are a hassle. they're complicated and overpriced and stressful. (this doesnt mean they can't also be lovely, but the good always includes this bad) you can hate weddings and still have one. often weddings are less about the couple and more about the family/ies and as such, i can see why they don't see the appeal.
however. an engagement is moreso a promise of marraige as opposed to wedding. they're traditionally connected, but i think dnp like to break conventions.
so, i think they want to be married. actually i think they really want to be engaged (publicly, if they aren't already privately). they're sappy and sentimental bitches who love putting both of their names on everything together.

i’ve never understood the idea of lending your friends/family money. just give it to them. and if you can’t afford to just give that money away then don’t, or find another solution. but lending money with the expectation of getting it back, especially if one or both parties are struggling financially, just seems like a recipe for resentment
