A special dinner date

It's been nearly 10 months but tonight I'm finally trying to bridge the "Linds from the past" with the "Linds of the here and now."  Coco and I had been friends the entire time I worked at the trucking company and even after I left, over 6 years in fact, but around mid-May last year, I decided I needed to move forward and get some other things worked out and we drifted apart.  I can't say that was the best decision or even a somewhat good decision on my part but it happened.
A few weeks ago, my bro started working at the trucking company and ran into Coco.  She told him to have me call her when I had some free time.  After thinking our friendship had deteriorated so much over the last nearly 10 months, I was shocked that wanted to know how I was doing and wanted me to check in.  We've played phone tag, text tag and emailed back and forth and finally tonight Coco and I are going out to dinner to catch up and hopefully move forward in our friendship.  I'm excited for the chance to get to talk to her again.  We went through so much together the first years we worked together and I'm anxious to fill her in on all of the new happenings.  But most of all, I'm hopeful of reviving our friendship.
