It was six o'clock in the afternoon, a Thursday, and Littletato was walking home.
The girl had finished her day of work and was carrying some shopping bags she had packed at the neighborhood supermarket called "Safeway".
In the bags, there were vegetables, fruits, milk, eggs, and two packages of chocolate-stuffed crackers.
Littletato met with a friend that she and Júlia had made during the months they lived together in San Francisco.
They met when Littletato was having a picnic with Júlia in a park on a Sunday.
His friend was a boy named Iam, he was eighteen years old in 2019, and was born on July 16, 2001.
Iam had black hair, dark brown eyes, and white skin, and was straight.
He was born in San Francisco, and worked as a cashier at a local grocery store.
"Hi Iam, good to see you!" said Littletato, smiling at Iam.
Littletato noticed that Iam was also holding shopping bags in his hands.
"It's good to see you too, Tato!" replied Iam while smiling.
"Going shopping too?" asked him, looking at the bags in Littletato's hands, laughing lightly.
"Haha, yes, the vegetables were ending up at home, so I passed by the supermarket.
And I also bought the chocolate stuffed crackers that Júlia loves, and me too, hehe," replied Littletato, laughing lightly.
"Oh, I got it, at home too, I live alone, but my sister is in town, she came to visit me.
So I'm gonna cook for her tonight, and show my culinary skills, hehe.
And I know how it is, haha, I also bought something similar today," said Iam.
"Glad your sister came to visit you," said Littletato smiling, "You must be good at cooking, haha".
"I want to taste your cooking any day, hehe.
What did you buy?" asked Littletato, curious.
"I bought my sister's favorite chocolates, and chocolates for me too", replied Iam, smiling.
"Oh, they must be tasty, haha.
So... I gotta go, or else it will be late for dinner, haha, Júlia must be hungry at home.
Tell your sister that I still want to meet her, hehe," said Littletato, also smiling.
"I also gotta go, my sister must be hungry at home, haha.
Ok, I'll say, we schedule a day, haha.
See you later Tato!" said Iam, smiling.
"See you later Iam!" replied Littletato, smiling too.
Then the two began to walk to their respective houses.

Littletato arrived home with the shopping, she told Júlia about the conversation she had with Iam.
Júlia also occasionally chatted with Iam on WhatsApp.
Then Littletato left the shopping bags on the kitchen table.
She and Júlia stored their purchases in the kitchen cupboards and the fridge.
Then the two girls started preparing dinner.
Littletato made rice seasoned with salt, garlic, onion, and chopped carrots.
She also cooked beans well seasoned with salt, garlic, onion, black pepper, and bay leaf.
The smell of the rice and beans was wonderful.
Júlia made two scrambled eggs fried with salt, parsley, oregano, and chopped mozzarella cheese.
The girl also made cooked potatoes and carrots with salt, onion, and parsley, and orange juice with ice cubes.
