Down in Mid-South Bay

Leina went to Charles's birthday dinner this evening at Round Table in Foster City. There were several people there, including one friend who Charles hadn't seen in awhile. Leina intuited that Charles wanted to spend some time with his friend, so without confirming this, she slipped away immediately after the last slice of the pepperoni pizza was spoken for, bidding adieu to all at the early hour of 7:30.

This gave her the opportunity to drive across the peninsula a bit to Burlinghame to visit Noriko and Jun and little Yuto for the first time in awhile (or it would have been, if she hadn't driven down there on Saturday because she had realized that she hadn't seen them in awhile). So she drove over there and played with Yuto, and tried to get Noriko to help her review some Japanese for her Japanese proficiency test which is imminent.
